Trail Camera Pics

[leech~~]

Man this thread is lifting my spirits! It's nice to see so many nice racks out there. Every year I get a nice 10 point on my cam but never see the SOB once Bow hunting starts!

You're not alone!

Same here guys, hoping to change that this year. I think I found his bedroom this spring, the only problem is its near impossible to get close to without alerting him that I am there. I think I need a jetpack with some kind of cloaking device that doesn't make any noise or leave any scent behind.

How about getting Star Trek Enterprise to beam you up, then beam you down in you tree stand?

Better have the correct coordinace other wise you might take a fall!

Beam me up Scotty!

Yup, loving the trophy rock. They've been nailing it since June.

So never tried the Trophy rock does it work as well as these pic's most of the time? They must last a lot longer then blocks? I know they cost a lot more!

This is my 2nd year using the trophy rock, seem to work. When the block is gone the deer start to dig a hole into the ground where it was sitting.

This has been a wet year and we have 4 rocks out that are still at least 1/2 as big as new. Two of them have been out since the beginning of June. I won't say they are magic but if you find a good trail -- they definitely can make that trail more memorable and keep deer around for 30 minutes or more while you snap pictures.

Our best setup had 320 pics in 2 weeks with 1 minute intervals. When we first put the rock out, we didn't even have daily visits. Now the deer stand around to take turns on the rock. There is one buck in particular who is in the background of many pics overlooking as other deer hit the rock. When the other deer leave, he comes back in for more.

I put one out in mid-July next to a white salt block and haven't noticed a preference on videos yet. They really quit hitting the mineral site once August came.

Checked cams last night and the local bachelor group decided to make their once-a-month rounds through the property. Top Ten went nontypical this year.

[Mclovin]

that buck sure is a dandy

[LOTWSvirgin]

That gets a guy blood boiling!!! Nice buck for sure

[mabr]

Very nice I'm envious. Ive got a few decent bucks but not like that last one. Hope you get him this year.

[Meat-Run]

Like Tommy would say HOLY-SHNIKEY'S, you got a pig on your property, is this one up in Crosslake?

mr

[mrklean]

dang stick thats a nice looking buck there good luck this season

[Bear55]

Wowza, I count 17 points, anyone else? Looks like he's got 6-pack browe tines.

[sticknstring]

When you get a night's worth of pictures like that, it makes it all worthwhile. I just hope to get a glimpse of him come fall.

Nope. I posted that one on the bottom of page 3.

SNS,

I would assume he's first on your hit list come Sept. 18th? That is a huge MN buck I'm envious so have you seen this guy before?

mr

[sticknstring]

He is, but sadly I have obligations that keep me away on opening day. I haven't missed opener in a long time, if ever.

I haven't seen him in person but I have 3 years worth of pictures. He's at least 5 1/2 and he's the one in my avatar working a scrape in front of my stand at 12:30pm last fall while I was at work.

Keep the pics coming guys. I've seen a few out of velvet already from other people's cams. It's getting to be that time!

[Rippinlip]

Wow Sticks, hope he makes a trip by you this fall.

Thanks for sharing.

[Bear55]

Mid 150's looks like a fair guess to me, might even push 160 with all those extra points growing all over the place and good mass. That big 8 looks worthy of an arrow too, nice to have options.

[96trigger]

He will gross above 160, gauranteed. Hope SNS can shoot him and let us know. Bear55, I'd bet an adult beverage on it.

[HNTNBUX]

I am with trigger on this one.
