In preparation for the late muzzleloader season, which opens next week on Thanksgiving, I put up a camera, along with a pile of apples, in a spot I hadn't hunted for a couple years. I put it up last Sunday afternoon, and when I checked it at 9:00 this morning, it had 2,260 pictures. This camera doesn't take the best pictures, but it sure takes a lot!

Good luck with that 3, hopefully he will come out during shooting hours. You probably have a little room in the freezer for him.

Yes, plenty of room in the freezer, and I hope to entice him out a little early with some doe in heat scent. :tup:

Awesome spot, good luck

Got some more pictures of the same buck. I think he's a good one to set my sights on for next year. I need to find where he hangs out during the daytime though, and get a tree stand or a blind in there. It's not doing me much good at this location where he never shows himself except when it's dark.

In this set you'll see he seems to get scared off by a doe. :dunno:

Nice buck.
Need more cams a short distance away and try to track is coming and going in preparation for shed hunting. Then camera bomb the area in the spring.

Something sent that buck in flight :dunno: cougar :yike:

Maybe he heard the camera? Elk can hear mine, I got a lot of pics, you can see them notice the cam, then they come in for some close ups!

That camera is really quiet. I've never heard it make a sound. Not that a deer couldn't hear it, but I've had deer spend hours in front of it and it never seems to bother them at all. That buck was there for about a half hour so if he was hearing it you'd think he would've been spooked sooner. The doe showed up just a minute or two after he took off, so I figured he heard the doe coming and didn't know that what he heard was a deer. Apparently he's entirely done with the rut!
Oh, by the way, Natchez Shooters Supply has thus camera on sale right now for $49.99. (Refurbished)

So did you ever get a chance at him?

No, the season ended December 15th, and I had a blind set up out there, but never sat in it. I didn't think it was worth it since even the does weren't coming in until well after dark, and then they'd always be gone at least an hour before daylight in the morning.
I need to spend some more time out there and try to figure out where that buck hangs out. If I can get closer to wherever he's coming from, I will probably put up a tree stand and try to get him that way.
