Does, fawns, 1.5yr old bucks…all love your camera. You. Won’t see big bucks doing that much, if at all.
Actually, this is about the only way we get to see the larger ones. I put up a camera next to a salt lick in June and some time before 9/1, we get several visits from the bigger guys. I checked the camera this past weekend, and the visits were already down 50%. They're starting to switch over to their fall diet and are no longer craving salt.
