I finally broke down and bought a trail cam, mainly to see if it's the dog or another animal that keeps dragging her food dish out of her dog house but figured first I'd try it on the path where deer cross our property. I on;y had it out 3 days but on the 2nd night I got this picture, looks like a nice 12 pr 13 point.  |

It is fun to see what's out there. Sometimes it can be so frustrating, when you think you have them pinned down and they play you like a fool. This is the 2nd year that we never hung a camera out.

Trail cams are definitely exciting to see what is out there. They can both help you and hurt you. I personally think trail cams spook big mature deer. I usually get one pic at night of a giant and then you never get another pic of him in that location. I think they notice the blink or flash of the camera and then avoid that spot. It is nice thought to see what is around and it is easier to pass smaller bucks if you know a good one is around if a person hunts for big deer. It is also a good tool to see when big deer are moving in daylight hours and to see what makes it through at the end of the season. I am running 9 of them right now. Have fun with it.

They just cross our 3 acres to get to the ditch and neighbor's property. I've only seen them on our property during the daylight a few times and it's always been in the summer. A friend hunts back there bu the ditch and gets some during archery but when the guns start going off they go into hiding. The chances of me seeing 1 during gun season on my little 3 acres is almost none. |

I was mainly wanting to see what was moving during the day, even rabbits,squirrels and coyotes, it didn't take a pic of anything during the day though. It is right below a walnut tree. |
