In many locations, deer stop using salt licks once the weather cools.

I usually take my cams off of salt licks and move them to food sources in early September. Once the first natural scrapes begin to appear (usually around the first week of October), I move the majority of my cameras to natural and mock scrapes.

That's very interesting JCDEERMAN. I had my cameras over food plots all September and wasn't getting much. Our food plots don't show much browse pressure at all, even though they are 8-10 inches high.

We quit getting buck pics at our salt but were still getting several doe pics. We moved our cameras to food plots and travel areas. I will see this weekend if they are getting any use.

I've only had my camera out (until recently) behind my house. Deer just disappeared. I moved my camera to my little food plot and BINGO. They are hitting it hard. I was thinking it wasnt growing but it is, they are just hammering it right now.

I think I've talked to you about this before. The time period between pulling cameras off of salt around the first week or 2 of September until when scrape activity starts picking up in mid-late October is, imo, is the toughest time to get pictures of older deer. Acorns start dropping, bucks are shifting ranges,...everything is changing. Do you have exclusion cages up? When looking at our fields, they dont look browsed and I just thought we needed rain. Then we went to a field with a cage, and man oh man. I wish I had a picture of the browse pressure on the field growth
We had all of our fields limed back on Easter weekend. Years we do this, the deer are on clock work with the fields. I dont hunt in fields but do hunt "around" fields 50-200 yards in the evenings. I think the limed fields in combination with all of our 3rd year growth of select cuts are really starting to pay off.
I will try to post a few pics of the bucks here after a while this evening....

i say that is not uncommon for this time of year. Its about time to start looking for scrapes and moving cams over them.
