This is the only camera I've got out now that isn't over bait. I've got it facing three trees that have been rubbed by bucks in at least the past two years. I was hoping to get a video of the buck that's been doing the rubbing. Well, I didn't get a whole lot of action, just the usual doe with two fawns, a bear, a bobcat, and then two bucks that wandered by a week apart. At first I thought it was the same buck, then I noticed the one has eyeguards, and looks to be a 3x4, and the other I believe is a 3x3 without eyeguards. They both smelled the trees that have been rubbed in the past, but didn't freshen them up. So now I'm wondering, is one of these two the same buck that did the rubbing in the past, or is there another buck out there?

Here's another video, of three (?) deer, not sure what was going on, but they're runnning from something, maybe a coyote (lots of them out there).

I just thought it was funny how the one jumps over the other. The lighting isn't good, looks like the camera used the infrared flash when it wasn't needed, and overexposed it...

That's some great footage! It's nice those bucks cooperated and gave you some good, full body action. What kind of camera were you using to get that footage? It seems quite good IMO.

My guess is that they were playing. There's 4 does in the area I hunt that I've seen nearly every time I go out there. Often they will chase each other around, running, jumping, bucking and playing some form of deer hide-n-seek. It's quite entertaining.

Yes, you're right, they could have been playing. Hadn't thought of that.

The camera is a Wildgame Innovations "Micro Red 6." It's a great little camera. Of all my trail cameras it's the only one I really use to take video.

Here's one more video of a doe with two fawns walking by...

OK, rather than starting a new thread, I'm bringing this one back to the top, with some new videos. I checked this camera again after 4 weeks, and got more video of the same bucks, and maybe a new one, or maybe two. Not sure yet, I've got 112 videos to go through. I haven't really hunted this area yet, but now that I've seen the bucks that are in there, I just might give it a shot next year. Here's one for now:
