Deer Cam

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

We finally got some pics last night. This is right beside the posted sign my trespasser put up. Looks like I still have a buck. Hoping for better pics tonight! This is pretty neat!

Those camera are kinda cool, got all sorts of stuff on mine over the years, including the neighbors cattle.

First time I set it up I got 133 pic's of "weed/no weed, weed/no weed, weed/no weed"....seems the wind was blowing....LOL took about 20 minutes.

What do you think Hunter? Is it a Six Pointer?

[hunter63]

Looks like at least a fork, kinda small, but then again I don't know how big your deer get.
May have some brow tines.......the lower area beside the horn looks like an ear....

Got this guy last year...2 days before season started....then nothing?

Look at teh size of his neck, was in full rut.

i set mine up on my porch when I wasn't there, got 3 pic's at night, in the moon light...nothing in the frame.........kinda make you wonder what set it off?

[Rick]

Moths.....

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

I got one pic without anything about 2 minutes before the ....3 legged doe came into the frame. The cam is back out tonight repositioned on a new tree with some doe pee for distraction opposing the cam. I think it is a 6 point, Our deer get big, my personal best is 195lbs. 9 point. But have seen deer that pushed 300lbs. with their britches on. Nice Pic Hunter! Not sure if I'll hunt the stand or not this year but am really enjoying the cam. Supposedly there is no flash at night, these are supposed to be infrared pics.

[Sparky93]

Those camera's are almost a sport of their own, we have an extra memory card for ours. That way you can swap the memory cards when you check the came so you have less of a trail in and out. The last few bucks we've killed we had pics of before we shot them.

That is a good idea, that way we won't leave as much scent either. I am really enjoying taking pics while I am sleeping.

[Rick]

You just poured pee all over the place and you're worried about scent?

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

Well, not all over the place, I hung it it from a carefully picked branch....Yeah, Ok So, does don't piss up on branches...That outta confuse a buck real good!

[Rick]

Man, I am so not going there. Oh, almost. No, no, no. I won't.

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

Man, I am so not going there. Oh, almost. No, no, no. I won't.

Rick, It ain't real difficult to figure out....maybe I'll get a pic of my buck up a tree.......Pft.....

[Rick]

I can't do it. I'm better than that. This is too easy. I need a challenge. Well if you....no, no, no. I..I..I'm stronger than that......

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

We had some more visitors at the corn pile.

[crashdive123]

I think you got zombies or something --- look at their eyes.

[hunter63]

LOL, yeah they do look kinda spooky......and goofy.....

Got about 20 of these, goofy little deer like it's picture took...
Time stamp is a defaul,t I get lazy on resetting it every time the batteries go dead.

Caption should read.....WTF.........

[Rick]

I'll bet that deer thought, "@#$ it! There goes my night vision for a good half hour!".

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

Cool pic Hunter!

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

Got a pic of the fox.

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af330/COWBOYSURVIVAL/WGI_0012-2.jpg

[Rick]

That really is pretty cool. I've seen them advertised for $70 bucks. I don't how good they are but it wasn't too long ago you couldn't find one for less than $300. So goes the calculator.

I am thoroughly enjoying the cam, I am amazed at the frequency the corn pile is visited under the guise of darkness.

[Sparky93]

Just wait till the raccoons find out about this corn pile, they are real hams for the camera.

i am very surprised I haven't gotten a shot of several the corn is beside a large irrigation ditch. None yet though.

[Sparky93]

I will have to try and find the pic we got on are of three raccoons sitting in a row looking at the camera, it was like a family photo or something.

[hunter63]

Got some "proof" of "raiders", this was after the big flood, fences were down had to call the neighbor and have him come a get his cattle......

Was kinda dragging his feet, so I just told him how stupid these "elk" were, you shoot one and the others just stand there a look at it......LOL

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

I thought we were seeing two different does.

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af330/COWBOYSURVIVAL/WGI_0027.jpg

A rabbit has been visiting the corn pile around 4am. The attack....

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af330/COWBOYSURVIVAL/WGI_0030.jpg

Do you think it is coyote or fox?

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af330/COWBOYSURVIVAL/WGI_0031.jpg

[Rick]

We'll, it looks like he got his head out his A$$. The rest is gonna talk a little work.

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

So, I am guessing there is noone here that knows a yote from a fox?

[Rick]

I was talkin' about the two headed deer. But if you have to ask about the fox/yote then we're not gonna tell ya. So there.

[hunter63]

Pretty tall for a fox, legs vs body size.....I'm thinking yote.

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

This takes us back to my post this summer....pg.1 of this thread looks like a fox to me but where are the black socks? remember I noted the white socks the fox had?
in this thread?

pg.1 fox?

coyote?

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af330/COWBOYSURVIVAL/WGI_0031.jpg

[hunter63]

Looks like two different animals, 1st fox and 2nd yote......
Try to get'em to stand still........LOL, better pic.

I believe you are correct.

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

I am undecided still I agree the first one is a fox but not sure on the second one because of the animal I saw this summer.

Our friend Ken stops by the forum and look what happened, gotta think he had something to do with it.

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af330/COWBOYSURVIVAL/WGI_0021.jpg

I believe these to be opossum.

[cowboy's daughter]

Those are some fat cows!

[Rick]

"Hey, Georgey. See, I told you it was corn."
"Yeah, just like manna from Heaven...FLASH!...Hey, what the?!"

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

Looks like we now have 3 does and the first early AM deer pics.

LOL, yeah they were eating my corn......

[cowboy's daughter]

I would be making moo moo steaks!:blush::mad:

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

We got a buck and what a trophy he is!

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af330/COWBOYSURVIVAL/WGI_0052.jpg

Is it already time from them to shed their racks? Always wondered when that is supposed to occur.

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af330/COWBOYSURVIVAL/WGI_0053.jpg

[Rick]

Oh, come on. He's probably a nerd buck. You know. Taped antler. Pencil protector. I'll bet he even has a slide rule.

[LowKey]

Poor guy has to go out at night to find food cuz everyone laughs at him in the daylight, and you go and take his picture. Not once but twice.

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

Last night 4 deer total including the buck and the 3 does that were earlier posted.

[hunter63]

Do the bucks shed their antlers down there?

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

Do the bucks shed their antlers down there?

Yes we find sheds in the woods, so yeah I'd say they do. In between the above pics, I asked when does shedding occur?

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

I've added a poll for tonights pics at the corn pile. I was curious what the activity would be like tonight with fireworks going off all around our property. I think it may drive wildlife to our little safe haven. It may scare them away? I think the deer are bedded on or adjacent to my property. I will be putting corn out about lunchtime. Just thought it might be fun to try and predict what happens. I am voting More Deer. I will post the last 2 nights activity when I put the corn out and exchange the chip.

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

Update...No corn, the store was out. No pics for the last couple of days, the little girl must not have set the camera to go.

[Rick]

Oh sure. Blame it on your daughter. Happy New Year to everyone in the swamp!

Ken has been photoshopping my pictures again.....?

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

Hunter, They haven't shed yet, dates are correct on all pics. This is a wall hanger for me!

Now that ais a nice deer.....great seeing it around ?

[Batch]

Whitetail deer shed at different times in different places. Mostly depends on the rut.

Down here most deer rut in July and August. Once the rut slows or stops the antlers start dropping.

Here is a map that shows the normal rut times for the country.

Thanks for the reference,......I didn't know the times varied so much.

I do know that in Louisiana the rut is much later than Wisconsin.

Another reason to do your homework.

According to the Rut chart I agree the rut is in October here. But I'd have to disagree that the horns are shedded shortly after. I think it has more to do with the changing seasons they grow 'em late summer and shed 'em once spring is here to stay.

Not funny. It's been 150 years since you boys were defeated. It's time to realize the country is larger than a few measly southern states.

[wholsomback]

Well they are off in Texas by a lot,we normally have 4 ruts in Texas,October,november,December and January,it all depends where you are in the state and since they have public land all over we get to hunt all of them.Horns don't ussually drop here till Feb. March then start growing in April and rub velvet off in Aug. and Sept.

[Wingman]

Sweet photos I have to check on my camera I have placed.
