It’s always a fun time when you head back to the woods to check trail cams. This year, we are running 15 in three different states all pointed towards a long range attractant. After speaking with Mike Hunsucker of Heartland Bowhunter last year and doing some research on my own, I decided to use Big & J products this season.
Since most of my hunting spots are located on private plots that border state land, I want to do everything I can in attracting deer and keeping them on my property. State Land in Central New York and Massachusetts becomes the wild west, bringing “hunters” from the cities that end up shooting at anything brown. After a week sit, I checked one of my Massachusetts spots and found positive initial results. I did not have a deer on camera the first night, then every day following, there was a tall 1.5 yr old 4 point and big doe coming to the Big & J BB2. Early results in Mass seem positive and hopefully these deer stick around all season. They are 95% running on nocturnal time.
Make sure you read up on the local regulations before dropping feed/attractant in front of your cameras. Most states allow this up until two weeks before the season begins. If you had planted food plots in the spring and fall, the deer would be more apt to stick around. We will keep using Big & J and share results as the season progresses.
