Looks like a great location. Would be fun everytime checking the camera. Almost like Christmas

Post by: Shawn Ryan on November 08, 2019, 03:56:04 PM: That first set was just from part of one month--a very good month. Lots of other activity at the spot.
Title: Re: A good spot
Post by: Shawn Ryan on November 08, 2019, 03:58:37 PM: 16 months in one spot; 3,200+ pics and no people on the camera.

One picture that I posted of that big 7x7 bull was taken at another, nearby location--not the same as all the other pics. Looks like the same bull to me. I think I have a pic of him at another location as well.

Post by: Shawn Ryan on November 08, 2019, 04:08:54 PM: Same big bull; different location.

I did hunt for that bull. I also have pics of him after the hunt, so...

@Shawn Ryan ..how far apart were the spots from one another? Roughly how much area was he covering?

3 camera spots: about 250 yards between 1st and 2nd spot (found the 2nd spot later and moved the camera) and then about 3/4 mile between the 2nd and 3rd spot. All distances measured in straight line on a map. Pretty sure he covers a larger area than what my cameras caught.

Post by: one more on November 11, 2019, 10:10:02 AM: It's interesting that they didn't use that trail in the snow, or was the one with the bob cat just after the snow fell?
Title: Re: A good spot
Post by: Shawn Ryan on November 11, 2019, 10:43:34 AM: Snow fell in early December. No elk, deer, or bears after the snow fell. Just bobcats, coyotes, and squirrels. Next bear was 4/10 and most of the snow had melted by then. Once the snow melted mid-April, the deer and bears came back. The elk didn't come back until 5/20.

Post by: huntnnw on November 11, 2019, 11:45:46 AM: That bull on opening day was miles away when I first spotted him. 2 days later he was in same canyon I was hunting. He was across the canyon and down from your cam
