This was my first year running trail cameras. I had 3 of them out at any one time with 5 total. I pulled a couple of them out of where they were for the winter but I'm going to find a place and put them back out somewhere else. I had a lot of fun with this hobby this summer and it's quite addicting. They were in central Washington(public land) and Southeast Washington(private land). I'm not going to post all the pictures I got for various reasons...mostly out of respect for others.
I started in June and took the last ones out on modern deer opening weekend. First we put cameras out for a friend's quality bull archery Observatory hunt in Central Washington. Some of you might remember Fanatic's thread.
We had several 6 point bulls on 1 camera. On another we had a bunch of spikes, cows and calves along with a few deer and a bear or 2.

This bull would come to be known to us as the G4 bull. Easy to ID because of his nice 4's.

jackelope · « **Reply #2 on:** November 18, 2013, 07:40:54 PM »

He never left all summer and into the season. In fact he got his picture taken on September 3rd which was opening day of archery season. We couldn't hunt there as it was inside the fire closure perimeter.
Boo.....

This is him all finished up. Fanatic would call him the heartbreaker I think.

We had a few pics of this guy but he didn't hang around. A beauty of a bull.

jackelope · « **Reply #4 on:** November 18, 2013, 07:42:01 PM »

We had a few more 6 point bulls on that camera. All nice bulls but those 2 above were the standouts.

jackelope · « **Reply #5 on:** November 18, 2013, 07:42:13 PM »

Ugly bear.

Skyvalhunter · « **Reply #6 on:** November 18, 2013, 07:43:47 PM »

Lots of periods there

Down to the Blue Mountain Foothills.
These 2 cams soaked for 3 months, then another month.
About 1200 pics a piece on them over 3 months.

Had to wipe the drool of the screen.

Nice bulls there. So where do I need to put in for that tag

Btw I have a eastern archery tag so if you need a spike taken care of or it is a antlerless area. I can take care of that for you.

More Blues farm country critters

jackelope · « **Reply #12 on:** November 18, 2013, 09:05:25 PM »

One of my favorite bulls.

bowhunterforever · « **Reply #13 on:** November 18, 2013, 09:05:59 PM »

Theres some awesome bulls in this thrend

Nice pics

carpsniperg2 · « **Reply #14 on:** November 18, 2013, 09:08:55 PM »

Some dandy critters. Where you running a solar panel or 6v battery on them. That's great battery life to get that long of soak on them.

jackelope · « **Reply #15 on:** November 18, 2013, 09:11:13 PM »

A few more.
The velvet coming off.

jackelope · « **Reply #16 on:** November 18, 2013, 09:15:00 PM »

A few more.
Sorry if I'm overdoing it. I'm addicted..

I think this is all the same bull.

jackelope · « **Reply #17 on:** November 18, 2013, 09:17:32 PM »

This guy came out of nowhere in October.

Timberstalker · « **Reply #18 on:** November 18, 2013, 09:19:39 PM »

Nice pictures. Thanks for sharing.

jackelope · « **Reply #19 on:** November 18, 2013, 09:29:03 PM »

Some deer. I really expected more deer but oh well...I'm not complaining.

jackelope · « **Reply #20 on:** November 18, 2013, 09:36:39 PM »

Deer...

jackelope · « **Reply #21 on:** November 18, 2013, 09:40:08 PM »

Got pics of this nice Muley buck 1 night. a few pics one time over 4 total months.

jackelope · « **Reply #22 on:** November 18, 2013, 09:43:06 PM »

Whitetails.

My buddy's boy killed this buck opening day.

Ibcnurun · « **Reply #23 on:** November 18, 2013, 09:44:05 PM »

WOW - Thanks for those.

jackelope · « **Reply #24 on:** November 18, 2013, 10:06:32 PM »

Last of the deer
More deer...hope they get a chance to grow up.

jackelope · « **Reply #25 on:** November 18, 2013, 10:21:54 PM »

Matt- just 8 AA batteries in each camera. They're at 3/4 charge still now.

carpsniperg2 · « **Reply #26 on:** November 18, 2013, 10:47:35 PM »

wow that is impressive. I just got some new cams and really love them. My cousins would chew threw 4 c batteries in about 2 weeks but they were also taking about 6k pictures in that time frame, so that might have to do something with it. The cold I think brings them down as well.

These new A5 are supposed to do 8k+ pics with 4c's I am at about 5k on them now and they seem to be doing fine.

Hawgdawg · « **Reply #27 on:** November 18, 2013, 10:56:12 PM »

Thanks for sharing! Did the bulls tear down that shack.....

jackelope · « **Reply #28 on:** November 18, 2013, 10:59:49 PM »

That's an old homestead site. The wood stove and bed frame is still there. The orchard is just off to the left in the pictures. Cool place with a nice view.

jackelope · « **Reply #29 on:** November 19, 2013, 07:31:09 PM »

Couple more. Lions and another bear.

Jackelope, which model of Bushnell camera is that of your later pictures you showed?

I've got 2 different Bushnell camera modelss and I can't remember which one it is. I bought the 2 at Walmart.com for $89. each. I think they're the 5mp Trail Sentry but I can't remember off hand. I'll look when I get home. The first pics are from the 3-5-8mp Bushnell demo models we got online.

Skyvalhunter · « **Reply #33 on:** November 22, 2013, 01:55:30 PM »

Josh since you aren't hurting for cash can you try out the Reconyx and see how you like it. I am curious about the trigger speed and detection distance.

klikboom · « **Reply #34 on:** November 22, 2013, 01:56:44 PM »

What are you using for bait for your cams? Seems to work great.

trophyhunt · « **Reply #35 on:** November 22, 2013, 02:02:00 PM »

Nice pics josh, couple of those bulls I would have no problem putting my 19 points on! You need to put a stand inside that old homestead !!! Thanks for all the pics!

That would be a great place for a lion bait this winter...perfect location!!

jackelope · « **Reply #39 on:** November 22, 2013, 05:42:12 PM »

I wish it was not so far from home. That would be cool to try.

Machias · « **Reply #40 on:** November 22, 2013, 06:12:54 PM »

How far away from you? Reason I ask is once you stake your bait out it takes a while, so if you check it once a week or so then that is perfect. It's not something you need to check every day or even every few days. Once they hit it then you could set up a pop up blind or fashion a blind in the ruins of the old house. You would kill a cat for sure. Once the birds find the bait, they make a lot of noise which in turns brings that yotes in and eventually the cats. In that spot you could almost be certain to notch your tag. Use a goat, sheep or llama.

Fred- it's +/- 250 miles from home. We make 4-6 trips a year, mostly family trips and mostly not in the winter. Thanks for the ideas but I can't get over there that often.
