attracting bucks during feeding/bedding patterns

[bfriendly]

I am just starting to see a few rubs and scrapes. I put cams on 2 rubs and a scrape.......would have done 2 scrapes but had a dead set of batteries. I’ll post if I get any pics. OP I think this is a transition time where they are changing some feeding patterns. Vines slowing down and acorns starting to fall etc....I hope I didn’t stink up any scrapes by peeing in it?

If u have a food plot of good size plant soybeans and iron clay peas in the spring. Use a thought feeder with some protein and corn. Have a mineral sight for next year. Fertilizer on all browse around the plot or feeder of no plot. Now some so new groth comes up in the spring. Believe it or not when I was a young man I used a old push mower. Roto tiller in the fall.

It takes buck's time to adjust to feeders. From my experience, bucks older than 2 will not come near a feeder unless he started on it in his first year or 2 of life

The title ofthe thread is “attracting bucks”.

This late in the game (it is late September....) there is only one good way.

Attract does.

There are only two ways to do that.

Food and cover.

One you can add and one it is too late to add.


Good luck to all.

Assuming there’s no livestock, Try beet pulp, they’ll like it even more after it gets damp
