Set up a few cameras on some nice rubs I've been watching the past few weeks and got some promising pics and videos. The does and fawns were moving all hours of the day, the bucks however seem to be feeding and moving during the night and early light of the morning which is going to make it a hard hunt trying to catch them coming through after shooting light. Glad this camera has night capability so it could still catch the details at dark. The best buck I have so far is a nice tall 7 pt with nice body mass, and a few spikes and first year bucks. Almost all of the deer stopped and checked the rub as well as picked the top branches of a oak for anything left to feed on, all the mature bucks got in some thrashing and scraping. Overall got some great video and learned alot about the patterns so far and even had a few surprise boar hogs, bobcat and coyote. I tried my best to get in and out without smelling the spot up too much but I can still see in the first few videos that the deer are running through and skittish until the smell gets blown out. Really hope to pull a successful deer hunt out of here when I hit it next week!
The only dayshot I caught this buck on
Good view for some rack details
Best video has to be this spike sensing somethings going on with the light, and smelling the camera...
Came back for a dove shoot and checked the cam again, caught this nice little fight between a spike and decent buck- can't see much detail on his rack but seems to have nice body mass.
