We had a trail camera post going last year. Should we get one going again this year? I have got a few good pictures to start if off.
This doe has a bad over bite. It looks like the top jaw is abnormally long. We had pictures of her last year to. I haven't seen her with any fawns. She might have been to ugly for the bucks last fall.

Here is a young buck with good width.

I thought this was an interesting picture. The coyote walked off and the turkeys didn't pay much attention to him.

This buck is getting bigger. He is trying to be a 5x7. We have his sheds from last year when he was a 5x6.

Glad to see our kitty is still around. Looks like she has a mouse for a snack. Me and my daughter watched her walk by our ground blind last deer season.

Good Pics as always Clint ! Bob
-
Always enjoy your pics Clint ! Still waiting to see a squatch pic with all the trail cams out nowadays :D
Tracy
-
Sweet, I like how your trail cam gives temperatures.
-
Time to set mine up, isn't it. I saw two very nice 6 and 8-pointers the other day trying to cross my road in front of me. Maybe, I can luck out and catch them on the cam.
-
The coyote probably wasn't hungry and new he could get one anytime, Jakes are stupid.
-
Nice pictures Clint,
-
Your trail camera pics are always great. Thanks for posting. You got a real "up and comer" there.
-
Good pics. Clint, looks like a wildlife highway there where you have the camera set up. Nice variety of critters using that corner of your farm.
-
Nice pics ,really like the cat.
-
Thanks. I hope all you guys can get some pictures to post.
-
I'll have to put my camera back out. Generally all I get is Flossy and her kids. Occasionally a buck will come through as do a bear or two.

What do you need for a camera to get descent pictures? Cabelas Canada has one on sale for $75. I copied these specs from the website.
4MP Trail Camera
• Captures 30-second video clips
• 18-piece high-intensity black LED infrared flash
• 50-ft. illumination/detection range
• Accepts up to a 32GB SDHC Card
Wildgame Innovations Cloak 4 - 4MP Trail Camera is part of the reasonably priced Cloak-series micro cameras. It has a rapid 1-second trigger speed, still and video capabilities and a 18-piece 50'-range high-intensity infrared flash. It captures 4MP images and 30-second video clips. Water- and weather-resistant. Accepts up to a 32GB SDHC Card (sold separately). Uses eight AA batteries (sold separately). Includes USB cable.
I'm not after award winning photos. More just counting the number of raccoons and deer that go through my yard at night
-
Most trail cams give good pics, even the cheap ones.
-
Some of the more expensive ones are not detectable. They do not make any sound, and they do not emit enough infrared to be seen. Also look at how to program your choices in them. Some are really easy to program, and some are not, at least for me.
WA

I really like how that Moultrie has worked so far. A set of AA batteries lasts for months. The day time pictures are good and the night time pictures are OK. I've had it out for almost 2 years with no problems.
-
I've never changed the batteries in my Moultrie and its been over a year. One thing I don't like about it is the trigger is too sensitive. I end up with lots of pics of shadows as they move across the screen. At least digital pics are easy to delete.
-
I have gotten a bunch of Doe pictures, but this is the first Buck that I have photographed.
-
Nice picture Blob
-
I just set out my camera yesterday. I'll check it in s few days and post pics.
-
Here is a few from my buddy's farm a few miles away from mine. ;) :) Pretty nice deer.

That's a nice looking bachelor group Pappy
-
I didn't get one trail cam out this year. But I enjoy getting to see what other folks have going on cool pics.
-
Got a few pictures of some younger bucks. The big boy is being elusive.

Looks like Bozo is back. I found a pile of scat not far from the feeder that was the diameter as a silver dollar. We saw this guy the other afternoon down by the feeder and if it is the same bear as last year, he's gained about 100# since last year.

Looks like a healthy bear Pat. Probably fattened up on hummingbird nectar.
-
Tey are back,this time 4 and looks like maybe in hard horn.
Pappy
-
That's a nice group
-
Pappy, is Beau going to let you shoot one of those bucks this season or is he going to claim them all ;D
-
I pulled my card today and got a few good ones.

There is quite a color difference between these two deer.

A new buck showed up this week.

I have been getting a lot of coyote pictures. They need thinned out.

Very nice photos! That first one looks like a really nice 10!

Nope. He has 7 on the other side.

Ah well that's too bad... >:D

Here is a better picture of him. He has both brow tines.

He has decent width

Clint,
I sure hope you get a chance to stick him.....Your a good hunter and I know you'll have that venison in the freezer this year....
DBar
-
Thanks Bill. I've been seeing and hunting him for 3 years. I have hundreds of pictures of him and both sheds from last season. He is like a ghost once season opens. I've never had a clear shot at him. I hope this is the year he makes a mistake.
-
Clint, that's what "hunt'n" is all about ...............good luck buddy....but luck is on a your side "good hunter"....

Nice Buck Clint, maybe he will slip up this year. :)
Pappy
-
I may get a shot at this one.
-
I love this thread!
-
That's a great looking buck Chief RID. Good luck with him.
-
Clint:
Have you given that Big Buck a Name???
David
-
Lately the Ghost Buck has came to mind.
-
Call him king Casper! What a crown!!
-
Hopefully I can call him Grilled Steak in a few weeks ;D
-
Not a trail camera picture. Caught this little one walking across the yard today. She picked a few leaves off of the wife's weeping cherry tree up against the house.

Two and a half mile hike from the trail head, most all of it uphill, four deer trails converge as they cross over a saddle on a high ridge. Here's the money shot from this morning:
(http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo100/JW_Halverson/Game%20Cam%202014/Gamecam%202015/MFDC5016_zpsvxavsvrt.jpg) (http://s365.photobucket.com/user/JW_Halverson/media/Game%20Cam%202014/Gamecam%202015/MFDC5016_zpsvxavsvrt.jpg.html)
I have caught him three more times in the last two weeks at various times of the day and night. Lots of does and fawns, as well. Thinking I will be rattling some antlers on this ridgeline when season opens November 1st.
I moved the cam a quarter mile east where three trails converge again. Those three trails are even more deeply rutted and torn up, so I am thinking I might see a few more nice photos in the next week, too.
-
Nice chocolate horn buck JW. Hope you get a shot at him this year. I was doing some shooting in the backyard when the wife called me inside for dinner. I looked outside and saw this doe confused by the "deer" that wouldn't make eye contact with her. She kept walking back and forth trying to figure out what was wrong. It was pretty funny. Tomorrow is opening day. I hope I can get a shot at her.

My 5x7 is still hanging around. He worked the scrape up a little. He even showed up during daylight. Of course it was the morning I had to help set up for a wedding.

He's showing you right where to put the arrow, Clint. ;)

Last time in, I screwed up and apparently changed the date/time stamp. The following should read October 3rd. AND I switched to video from photo, so I ended up with some really cool moving pictures! Click on the pic below to link to the video.
(http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo100/JW_Halverson/Game%20Cam%202014/Gamecam%202015/th_MFDC5093_zpsfzh3vw1h.mp4) (http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo100/JW_Halverson/Game%20Cam%202014/Gamecam%202015/MFDC5093_zpsfzh3vw1h.mp4)
I got another one just at dark the night before and it may be the same buck, but it seems to be narrower and higher. Oh darn, I may have another large deer hitting this trail!
-
Is he hearing the camera?
-
Nice deer Clint, hope you get a shot at him, cool video JW, beautiful buck. :)
Pappy
-
That was a telling video. Great set up!
-
I am thrilled with him, to say the least. Season is a month long and I am dedicating the first two weeks to my .62 cal smoothbore flintlock. If I don't get a shot with that, I will switch to the .50 rifled flintlock. And in the last week, I will surrender to modernity and carry the Remmy 700 in .243 with the Leupold 2x7 scope.
Clint, if you get that 5x7, I will probably hear your whoop all the way up here in South Dakoty!
-
Is he hearing the camera?
It's digital, all solid state electronics. Nothing to hear.
Aw dang, now you got me worried. If he can hear the little electrons running around in the circuitry, I am gonna sound like a continous rumbling pickled egg and roast cauliflower fart while I am hiding in the ground blind up the hill! Great, just great! I went from confidant to utterly broken hearted. Thanks DC. Thanks.
-
No problem, anytime >:D >:D He just looks like he's hearing something, maybe just listening intently.
I watched it again, maybe smelling something. He is walking along fine and then he just stops. You didn't shower did you >:D
-
I think the shutter window opening or initial focus adjustment, possible noise. Should have not been any noise that for into the sequence, I would not think. I just thought he noticed the camera on the side of the tree. Assessed the threat and moved on. Probably not a second thought on his next trip through.
-
Good luck Clint and JW. I'd have to use up an Eppie Pen on one of those backstrap steaks.

After all these years, I have come to think highly of you, Eddie. I am going to do what is right and fail to offer you a single bite of this deer (should I connect, knock on wood). No matter how you may beg or plead, I am doing this for YOU, brudder!

Just thought I would share a couple of my latest photos

Nice looking buck Blob! This wide 8 point showed up again. This makes the second year in a row he has showed up around the end of October. He seems to push the 5x7 out of the area. I'll get some pictures of him working the scrape over the next couple of weeks and then he will be gone again. That is unless he happens to walk by during daylight hours.

Clint,
I can post these now that hunting season is over..... never know who's lookin in ;D ;) ....I've been hunt'n these two critters all year. and can't get a shot....
Did you ever get another look at that big one?
Oct 18, 2015 @ 0900 is when I shot my doe about 300 yds from this camera.

Green flashlight taped to your primitive bow,,hhmmm.

Nice bucks Bill. Hope you get a late season shot at one. I haven't seen the big 8 for a while. I was checking out a fallen osage tree a while back and found a nice buck laying dead next to it. Someone had put a good shot on it with a gun. I'm not sure why they didn't find it. Coyotes had ate the butt end off. I took the antlers.
