Title: Two mature blacktails--Updated 12-09-09
Post by: rackattack on October 18, 2009, 06:38:07 PM: Looks like I've got two big bucks showing up again on my trailcam this year. I've got pictures of them from last year and one of them has sure grown some points. I think he's a 5x9. The other one seems to break an antler every year unfortunately.

Post by: byrdman on October 18, 2009, 08:44:31 PM: Great bucks.

Take the trashy one this year and get the other one next year when he's sporting full hardware.

Just to be clear, if the buck fever didn't get me too bad, I'd be very happy with either.

Probably going to go through a few batteries this fall, if he stays nocturnal.

Title: Re: Two mature blacktails
Post by: rackattack on October 21, 2009, 08:54:02 PM: The camera is an older Cuddeback C-3000. I purchased it on ebay about 3 years ago and have been very happy with it's picture quality and battery life.

Post by: rackattack on October 24, 2009, 10:58:52 PM: Latest pictures. Things are starting to pick up as 3 more smaller bucks have shown up in the last week now. :drool:

Title: Re: Two mature blacktails--Updated 10-24
Post by: Birdguy on October 25, 2009, 09:39:29 PM: Those really are some neat pictures. I think I will put my cameras up on this side of the state since I took them down for hunting season on the east side. That is a great camera by the way. Keep posting please.
Title: Re: Two mature blacktails--Updated 10-24
Post by: Dmanmastertracker on October 26, 2009, 10:06:44 AM: Those are some really fat healthy deer, good to see some movement, I've probably covered over 100 miles since the last deer I saw on opening day, getting frustrated. I'm in a new area and apparently it's an area where 80-90% of the bucks are taken late season from talking to others and from what I've been seeing. I usually hunt higher in elevation and see more activity in those areas a week earlier.

Title: Re: Two mature blacktails--Updated 10-31
Post by: rackattack on October 31, 2009, 12:35:46 PM: A few more little bucks showing up, but the big boys seem to be getting shy. :dunno: I think the tall 3pt has made a home around this tree.

Title: Re: Two mature blacktails--Updated 11-8
Post by: rackattack on November 08, 2009, 04:40:51 PM: New deer keep trickling in, as I'm up to nine different bucks (5branch/4spikes) on this camera. I have really no clue on the does and fawns. :chuckle: The bigger bucks avoided the main camera, but I did get a couple on the homebrew including the 5x9.

Title: Re: Two mature blacktails--Updated 11-14
Post by: rackattack on November 14, 2009, 05:50:40 PM: More pictures of the same animals. Oh darn! :IBCOOL: The big trashy buck has sure been working on the trees and has got some real nice color on his antlers. Always like seeing some of the surprise moments, like potty breaks. :chuckle: And a buck with a double eye guard.

Post by: Special T on November 14, 2009, 06:03:35 PM: I'm guessing that these are battleground unit bucks? I LOVE SW Washington Blacktails... So many of them... My inlaws live in vancouver and i love to bring the bow over turkey day! :IBCOOL:

Title: Re: Two mature blacktails--Updated 11-16
Post by: rackattack on November 16, 2009, 01:47:23 PM: Finally got a good picture of the buck I've named Brokenfoot. His left rear hoof area is sure messed up, but he manages. Best I can tell is he got hit by a car in spring of 08 as his antler was a stub on that side last year (see picture). Speaking of cars, I did find a dead fawn :'( out by the main road that the coyote has been eating on, thus the picture of him.

Post by: patton1 on November 16, 2009, 05:52:16 PM: Awesome pics. You sure are keeping us entertained. When I did my last update on my trail cam pics, I had to erase my old pics in order to put new ones on. I think I did it wrong because you obviously aren't having that issue. Could you give me some advise so I don't have to erase them next time, please?

Title: Re: Two mature blacktails--Updated 11-21-09
Post by: rackattack on November 21, 2009, 07:05:02 PM: Kind of slow this week the big non-typical stayed up by the camera for about 2 hours one night, so I got a few more pictures of him. :drool: It's interesting to see all the young bucks and be able to spot which ones are his offspring. His all seem to have a large dark patch on the forehead just like him.

Post by: WDFW Hates ME!!! on November 21, 2009, 07:55:59 PM: Looks like that spike is crash's. He has the save black V on his forehead...

Title: Re: Two mature blacktails--Updated 11-30-09
Post by: rackattack on November 30, 2009, 04:58:17 PM: The deer activity has sure dropped lately. Maybe they found a new source of apples. :dunno: Finally got a decent picture of the trashy bucks drop tines. And yet another buck has shown up, so that makes 10 different ones this year. Unfortunately, the camera had moisture on the lens so his picture is a little blurry.

Post by: Skyvalhunter on December 01, 2009, 11:34:40 AM: Throw a mineral block out there and you will have them.

Post by: D-Rock425 on December 01, 2009, 11:39:06 AM: very nice bucks :drool: when are you going to :hunter: them
Title: Re: Two mature blacktails--Updated 12-09-09
Post by: rackattack on December 09, 2009, 07:59:37 PM: As expected when the apples supply dried up, so did the majority of the deer. I'm still getting a few of the die-hards, and luckily the big trashy buck is one of them with an appearance every few nights. After the weather warms up I might try a mineral block of some sorts just to keep his interest until those antlers hit the ground.
