Very first trail camera (with pics)

[daiello91]

First trail cam location, 2 week soak, picked a trail near a 4 or 5 year old cut deep in. Jumped 4 does bedded down right next to the cam. No bait.

Got more pictures of this bear than deer.





Deer




Had plenty other deer photos too, but same thing really just them headed back into the thick valley woods. Got some IR ones too but they're foggy. The bear fogged up the lens sniffing it, but left it alone otherwise. I put some mineral salt on those two little stumps you see in front of the cam today, so I think that will increase the deer pictures. There are plenty of them. Lots of sign all over.

Ugh, just noticed I the year is wrong. Have to fix that next time out.

Someone gave him a noogy! 

I added some mineral salt this past weekend, be cool to see if it increases activity around the cam after a couple more weeks.

Got 303 pictures in the last two weeks off my 1 cam, using Redmond Trace Mineral Salt #90 with Selenium. Great stuff!

The bear from earlier in the month was, back and actually ran when the deer came in. Lots of females looking ready to pop out a fawn!







some bucks:

[daiello91]

you got a good spot!

Thanks  I'm a mile from any road and it's a steep climb down into a valley (then a steep climb out!)...in the three years I've hunted there I've not encountered a single person near this spot. I love it

A few major prego does & a group of 4 bucks have been hanging around. 2 big boys & 2 spike/fork horns. The bear didn't return again

Nice crop of young bucks there.

The one I'm hopeful for come hunting season:



Him and a big fork horn friend




The big boy, his buddy and a little spike. Used to be 4 in the group...but the other little spike seems to running solo lately.



Little guy using the bathroom in front of the camera:


Another smaller guy


A tiny little first year buck

Thanks, I'm really hoping that one shown in the first picture of my last post sticks around. Maybe even become territorial so I can rattle him in. He's looking like he could turn out to be a nice 5x5
