With these deer around, I may want to get my sleeping bag and heater ready for deer season! What do you guys think? Is it too early for these big guys to be going around to their scrapes? This guy is back in the pattern of stopping by twice a night to check things out.
It is like Christmas every time you check the cameras... will the same buck be around? are there new bucks? what about the coyote? how is the fawn? Then, you get a glimpse into the woodland word. I am surprised that this little ones still has its spots but it is healthy! Look at that belly. We have quite a few pictures of this fawn with its mom. It is the only baby around and I would love to get a chance to watch them while I am hunting. Look how wide those spikes are! No brow tines on this guy. When you zoom in on the second picture, this looks like a crotch horn. He has a decent body too, which would provide us with some excellent meat this winter. I usually end up squealing when I see these pictures. I can't help...
I know that today marks the start of bear season, but nothing get me more excited than seeing bucks on the trail cameras, especially when they are the deer that you have been after for multiple seasons! I can not wait til opening day of rifle season. Meat is meat and I will be grateful to fill the freezer, but those two big bucks... they would be a feat! Littlest Little Little Big Biggest From the look at this picture, this is the 'smaller' of the two large bucks that we have around. Fingers crossed that this season, we can give you a close up...
I have been saving all of the 'good' trail camera pictures over the years partially because it is fun to see the animals that were around but also because it is a reference check for what the norm is for our area. We have not had a lot of bucks on the trail cameras yet but I keep telling myself that it's late August when they start showing themselves. The small buck that we have seen is no where near the size of this guy: he is one of the two large bucks that we have seen over the past couple of years. No one shot either one last season so they are still around assuming that the winter did not kill them off. We have seen hawks like the one above, deer, coyotes, turkey, fisher, racoons and a mystery cat on the...
Still no bucks on the trail camera but the does and fawns are still around and looking very healthy! The coyote is still around and the deer tracks in the muddy areas are proving that there are some big deer around.
When we pulled the memory card a week or so ago, we saw this picture. Nothing before and nothing after, just this one glimpse in time. I posted it on my Facebook page and got some great comments about what it could be. What are your thoughts?
Ever since the season ended on June 6, we have had turkeys on every pull from the trail camera. Every time! Clearly these guys are just mocking me.
I was thrilled to see these pictures on the camera. I dont think I have ever seen a fawn this little in the pictures. We had three of them, but he was in a hurry so this is the least blurry one. I can not wait to see if there are more pictures when we pull the card next time. Doe and new fawn run across the field And even though we saw the rafter of turkeys, it is nice to see the hen with such a healthy group of babies. Hen with 10 poults It will be great to see them grow over the next few months. Hopefully they can do that without any interference from this. Otherwise, Dad and I will have to take care of...
We have seen the tracks and scat and now... urgh! There were three pictures of him coming down a deer trail. We had pictures of a doe walking in the opposite direction about 30 minutes before and then this. I might end up buying a call and seeing if I can lure him into the field by the Sky Condo. The last thing we want are coyotes around, especially if we have a nice herd of deer and flock of turkey.
