As stated, the bucks have been eating salad (apples) for over a month and the steaks have started falling. They will switch to the acorns for a few weeks and then start to mix in some apples again. In my area the accorns started falling a bit earlier than normal so the switch back should happen in Oct.

I just got a second camera last week and put it up near my second stand that is in an Oak grove. Maybe it will have some pics on it. I know that my crappy camera had a bunch of captures there in a 2 week span in August, but you couldn't make anything out in the pictures, b/c the quality is so poor.

Trail camera videos < -click that

there's just a few, it took 98 videos at 30 seconds the night shots are easier to see rather then daylight, but the daylight isnt bad really

wildgame innovations ir5d

got me..its the same buck in the third, i have a fourt of him right after, all those are in a row but, the last photo was him looking right into the camera and just leaving realy weird, so i think he saw the lights flashing even though it is IR. there are like green and red blinking lights. but thats all i came up with

Man, you guys got some nice shots!

Help for those that need it posting pictures.  

for if its to large you have to crop it down...usually you can use the "paint" program on your computer..you have to shrink it...

It's nice when a father gives his son one on his old hot spots.Three 8 pts.2 10 pts a 5 pt and a weird half 4 pt on one side and a club on the other,maybe I'll we aloud to hunt there this year,Ha little BUll, What one can I shoot the little 8 or the club 6 pt.My guess is that big boss 8 pt caught a whiff of your scent,by hunting season he'll know what you smell like and think dinners on the way,Ha Ha just kidding.

This guy is right behind my house.
Notice the tree stand behind him..
 

 

 

 

 

Get the bow primed! You have a week to get him.

just 1 for now.... i'll throw some more up when i get a free minute at home!!

pic proves it... its that time of the year... they're going from cinnamon to their fall/winter color.  a family friend has a pet buck and he started switching a month ago, i'd imagine he's about shed completely now

Some pics























Droppin' the deuce !

What do you have to learn ?

yep, bait stations are the norm for whatever reason. I don't nor ever have set up bait. I guess it's all in what you want. I learn alot about deer movement and deer by getting them passing. Just make a scrape and pee in it. You don't even have to pee in it .. they stop and check fresh dirt every time. That'll correct many of your butt pics. Nowadays you can get a good camera for around $80 - $100 with good trigger speed. Some with not so good trigger speed have wider sensing range which makes them about the same. Check out www.chasingame.com .. they are usually spot on with their reviews. I spray mine down with homemade cover scent, but still try to use the dominate wind direction. Everybody gets a blank photo here and there. Warm weather and a little wind will often trigger pics. You could place your camera parallel with the trail too to correct the butt pics.

Also, if you are only running one cam you're missing alot. I started with one and many weeks ended up with no pics. It's not uncommon for me to get zero pics on a cam or two every camera.

Bigger diameter trees are surely better. Deer easily see them on small trees. Bears too. Put them about 5 feet off the ground and point them down a litte. I use about one inch sticks and actually bought some wood shims to put behind the cams against the tree. They angle the cams nice. The shims took 3 months to lose their cut wood smell. I also spray paint my straps green or brown, but that's for more of a theft thing.

There should be directions with your camera. If you were able to sign onto this site, you'll be able to figure it out. I'm hoping you have a USB connection available on your cam.

The only catch and release deer hunting. I enjoy it as much as hunting season.
