Default Trail camera deers

What's the best method to keep bucks around your cameras? Food, scent, bait?, after hunting season of course.

After hunting season, food. (Don’t feed them if your not committed to feed them until when it greens up) Spring to mid summer, minerals are your best bet.

Ok I'm just wanting to keep the bucks around long enough to have their horns drop.

I dump food out and a mineral block, back yard gets stuffed full of deer, the odd moose two...we are friends at that point...I watch, they eat, I start to drool like my lab...wife throws me a towel

Look up feeding deer in the winter. If it is not done right you can actually kill deer.
