In N.H?I've tried those wild berry blocks in the past and got plenty of camera shots. Problem is once those raccoons find them which is almost instantly they will come back with their entire family. Lol! Tons of photos of four coons having a feast night after night till it's gone.
That's true. Bears like them also.I've tried those wild berry blocks in the past and got plenty of camera shots.

In Vermont?I make my own that works AMAZING!!!!!
1 part di-calcium phosphate
2 parts trace mineral salt
1 part stock salt
clear all vegetation, loosen soil 6" deep, mix all ingredients with the soil and set up the trail cam. they'll find it within days and once found they'll be back regularly. sometimes 3 times in 24 hours
makes 200lbs for less than $50.00. I refresh the site in early spring as soon as the ground is thawed and again 6 months later. deer,moose & turkeys LOVE IT!!!
Yes in VermontIn Vermont?
Have you been feeding deer in Vermont?Its illegal to hunt over salt licks or salt based products in general in Vermont. That doesn't mean that you can't use these products to increase the health of the herd and set up a camera on it. you just can't hunt over it or in the general vicinity.
On page 41 of the 2016 Vermont fish and wildlife regulations book it states................... "It is illegal to feed or bait deer in Vermont." On page 25............... " Bait is defined as any animal, vegetable, fruit or mineral matter placed with the intention of attracting wildlife." I think this means you can't place bait to attract deer to your camera, but I could be wrong.Its illegal to hunt over salt licks or salt based products in general in Vermont.

I think this is regulation also:He would get pinched if a warden visited his Vermont mineral site. They are not allowed in Vt.
Only allowed during the baiting season in NH. In NH the baiter has to fill out and process the required forms and post the site as a legal bait site.
In NH, if you feed deer in the winter you better not put a camera on it either. I was told by COs that would be considered hunting as well so you could get ticketed for that. They'll ticket you in NH for putting out feed (bait) in front of a camera in the off season as well.
The deer are visiting apple trees daily now for drops. They'll do that pretty regularly until they're all gone. Putting cams on them works for me.
NH Mountains in all to respect , thats false. The CO who told you that was promoting his own version of the law which is false. I walked right into the fish And Game Dept last fall and had a long talk with 2 Fish And Game Officials on that exact question. I asked them point blank " Can I put corn in front of a camera in the summer ". The answer is " Yes , there is nothing illegal about "feeding" and viewing wildlife in the summer " , but there are some heavy strings attached to it. I will make a separate thread on this subject because there have been way too many "opinions" interpreting the law here rather than what it says. I almost hate to start this thread but I want to share how Fish And Game represented the law to me in my meeting with the 2 officials at their office in Concord. This was not a phone call with a lower level person. I walked into the Fish And Game office for these answers.Only allowed during the baiting season in NH.

I've got an email from them that says otherwise.NH Mountains in all to respect , thats false. The CO who told you that was promoting his own version of the law which is false.

There are some very explicit parts to their answers that it would make it illegal. Depends on how and where you do it and what you use to do it with.

Then I would love to read it . But like I said , it depends on how you phrased the question and the circumstances on how it is done and where it is done that can very well make it illegal to do . Since the title to this thread is " Mineral Licks " I will mention the Official I talked with's view on them. Especially pouring a 50 lb bag of the stuff in one spot. They would be considered illegal with a camera in front of it or not , because of their long standing affect to attract deer well after they are dissolved. You cant remove it unless you dig every bit of dirt out that the mineral soaked into. Thats impossible to do. If you hunt anywhere near that spot it would be considered illegal pre-baiting. Thats the material that they worry about the most. The deer keep coming to it long after its visible .I've got an email from them that says otherwise.
