I've never sprayed down before going to check my cameras and I've been running them for over 10 years. Only time I have is when I plan on hunting. I will say, during the summer and early season of bow season all my cameras can be checked from my 4 wheeler. No need to spray down, the deer know...
I use TCS cattle mineral, that has pretty much every mineral that all "deer minerals" have in them for a fraction of the cost. The cattle mineral is low on salt content so I buy trace mineral, which is like 95% salt and mix it with the cattle mineral. The results have been pretty good so far...
Put out a trail camera and corn, you'll know what's there after a few weeks. You won't get every deer on camera but it'll give you a good idea on what's there.
I never did post pictures of my 2014 buck after I got him back. @WhiteRubi did a great job and I highly recommend him. He has my 2015 buck at his shop now.
Probably the earliest I have got a picture of a fawn. The doe was probably bred anywhere from the middle to last week of October.
