Using C'mere Deer to Conduct Surveys

We are starting to use C’mere Deer in conjunction with our trail

cameras for population
analysis. Hunters can also use
the attractant to see what the
composition of their deer heard
is as well. C’mere Deer works
very well when used on native
forbs that are still green and
agriculture plants but you
should avoid legume. If you
are getting a lot of camera
shots without deer you can
solve this problem by using the
C’mere Deer Powder or Liquid
concentrate and make at mineral pit in front of the camera. Very seldom will
a deer not investigate the pit or dig giving the camera plenty of time to
trigger. It is best not use C’mere Deer on dried vegetation that has reached its
full growth. Look for plants that are green and succulent whenever possible.

C’mere Deer can also be used in conjunction with various baits to increase
the number of deer at your photo stations. Remember that you want to see
every deer that is on your property. You will need to count the age class and
sex of each animal. Good trail cameras with high pixel counts will certainly
help in this endeavor. Do not forget to look closely at each fawn as you
should be able to see the pedicels on male fawns. This is an important
component of the sex ratio in your deer heard. With practice you will be able
to identify each animal on your property on site. Properly placing your C’
mere Deer attractant and or bait so the camera will be able to catch each
animal will definitely increase the accuracy of your survey.

It is important to also use the same photo stations as you have in past years.
Using C’mere Deer as an attractant will normally attract every whitetail deer
on your property. Using the same photo stations from year to year will give
you a general population trend. Trends will show how you are doing in
managing the wildlife habitat on your property. If set up correctly there
should be no dead spots between photo stations. The scent of C’mere Deer
attractant will help assure good coverage of the herd.

However it is also a good idea to place photo stations with trail cameras in
additional areas. Start by placing cameras along property boundaries to
catch deer whose territory just touches your property. Also place additional
cameras in islands of isolated cover such as swales in the middle of a large
agricultural block. In addition you can place some random cameras photo
stations through out the property to eliminate any missed individuals. The
information from these additional photo stations should not be mixed with
the survey data from the standard annual photo stations. The use of
additional trail cameras may provide you with more complete information on
each individual dear that is using your property. Again the use of C’mere
Deer attractant should bring any deer to your cameras.

Remember that the early deer seasons will be starting soon so now is the time
to do your early season scouting work. You can use C’mere Deer and photo
stations on public lands to determine what animals are present there as well.
Information is power when it comes to deer hunting.  The harder you work at
this time of year the luckier you will be on opening day. Depending on where
you live it may be too early to define travel patterns that will last through the
fall. However, using good quality trail cameras and an attractant like C’mere
Deer will help you discover what animals are using a broad area of habitat.
