Cam check

Figured I'd better check cams before heading out west. Good thing I did, as two cams needed batteries and one was acting up (might not have got it turned on as the on/off switch broke off and I have to use a jeweler's screwdriver to try to turn it on/off). Anyhow, been a slow year on the trialcams but who knows what will drift through during the rut.
The deer are POUNDING our soybean fields. They usually feed heavily on them, but this year seems like they are spending more time in the fields. Maybe the drought has limited the palatability of other food sources.

You've got a couple bucks I would be happy to shoot.

Trail cams are sorta like that Forest Gump box of chocolates, You just never know what you will see next. Wink

It's about time for me to put mine out. The deer are already coming to the pear tree behind the Cabin.

I put two cameras out with corn feeders this past weekend.

I will be interested to see what the 9 point sticker buck looks like this year.

Cam check on the rebound. Wink

While I was gone out west, I set up a security cam on the farm driveway. I set it to video mode and caught these holligans! Click on the pic for the video.

The deer shed velvet while I was gone and it appears there are also feeling the need to test their new head gear.

I hung a couple of stands today and moved cameras to other properties that I have permission to hunt. Found two scrapes opened up under a young oak tree at one of the properties, will be interesting to see the buck getting the jump start on the season. Wink

Yup, they gotta do what they gotta do. That headgear just needs testing.
