It maybe just me, but I wouldn't set up on the rock. Get back from it and intercept deer headed to it. I think you could mess it up if you were right on it.

here's a tip..........to get pics of good deer, place the rock and camera set-up in a thick area.......don't put it out in the open.......deer will feel more comfortable coming to it, even during the day.
BH
mine is in open woods and they don't hesitate to use it.
It maybe just me, but I wouldn't set up on the rock. Get back from it and intercept deer headed to it. I think you could mess it up if you were right on it.
everybody else sets up on the rocks with no ill effects.

I prefer to have my Trophy Rocks back in the woods (so that deer feel more comfortable using them in daylight) but along a trail or old logging road that leads to a food source, and within 50-100 yards of the food source.
