Trophy rock question

[hortontoter]

I just put my Rock near a heavily used trail. I would suggest only one mineral site to be used in conjunction with your trail camera. A great way to inventory your herd. Hunting over the Rock has been fruitless for me.

The NE corner is a good choice for your stand. But a 50 yard opening may be avoided during daylight by most mature bucks. I would suggest finding a good funnel area to place your rock in. That way the deer will be using the funnel to utilize your Rock. But, like I said hunting over the Rock has been very dissapointing for me. Once the bucks shed the velvet they seem to vacate the Rock.

Put some corn out around it, they will find it that way if it's in a spot they normally don't travel much.

I agree with all the corn users. I put out two rocks this year and split a 40# bag of corn and used half around each rock. I also stay away from the rocks for at least two weeks before I check my trail cameras for lice. Hope this helps.

Damn auto correct! Mypost should read "before I check my trail cameras for pictures" not lice. Technology is great to a point. LOL.
