If I was a betting man, I'd tell you that those bucks are tending does or a doe right in that specific area.  I'd have a stand in that spot very soon.  Also, keep track of any daytime activity in there.  Nice pics - you're hooked now I'm sure!

I sure am. Will head out there once more next week then it Thanksgiving and time to hunt. Move my first came that wasn't getting any pictures about 50 yards up the trail from this camera getting all the action. Hope to start seeing some patterns.

Don't get your hopes up on patterns, especially during the rut.  Expect activity randomly, and at anytime throughout the day.  Just the nature of the beast.  Stay at it and you may get a crack at one of these bucks, or a buck you had no idea was in the area!

I found a great area torn up with wierd rubs and wanted to get my cam on it...checked my D40 at the house..cam right on worked fine but said bat life like 31%...  an hour later its tied to the tree and wont damn turn on :bash:

On both of my cams battery life is doing fine, one was at 70% and the other 75% after two weeks.

Where are you located?  I have lots of stands and would be willing to help you out depending on the property/situation (as in - don't want my stands where they are easily found and can get stolen).

The deer were a little shy this week. Must have been the wind, tress were down every where. Late season starts Friday for me, hope I can get one I have seen in these pictures.

Yesterday was a pretty *censored*ty day.

1. Sat from dark to dark didn't see or hear anything.

2. At the same place I was hunting my trail cam was stolen. Some time between Sunday after noon (last day of deer) and yesterday (Muzzleloader Deer/Elk). If you guys could keep an eye out for a like new Moultrie D-40 with a 4gb black SD card and durcel batteries and let me know of anything.

3. The gun I had on hold at Sports Authority was sold to some one else.

Sorry to hear the bad news!!!! This is common news anymore.  I bet at least 1x per week we read that someone has had a camera stolen.

If you look around the classifieds someone had some nice home made security boxes for sale. Might be a good investment.

I have 5 cams that I try and keep running and really need to get some boxes on them.  :bash: I'm playing with fire I know it.
