Trail Cam Pics

I hope that isn't how his life ended, sad if true.

I know the city allows private land owners in the city limits to deer hunt their woods, which is good since half of our 160 acre farm is in city limits, but it sure allows easy kill of the acclimated deer in the residential zones. When Cedar Rapids, IA opened up the city limits a couple years ago it ruined the shed hunting in the areas I used to get antlers. Everyone knew where the bucks were feeding and the small woodlots they were bedding and they were easy pickings with most of the big ones disappearing that 1st season. Here is a nice set I found in the city woods before it opened to hunting.

Nice looking set. Symmetrical.

Pretty neat, I absolutely love shed hunting and the exercise that goes with it, great find !

Here's a little bigger pic. Yep, I've still got my buck tag and will be out there tomorrow to see if I can have a personal meeting with this buck! It's too bad in the photo, no matter how much this picture is blown up his tines blend in with the tree line in the background. I can tell he's got good mass, but no idea about his tines. That's ok, it leaves a little mystery.

Nice. He's got good main beams for sure. Good luck with him. Here's one that came in the day after thanksgiving checking a mock scrape. He put some miles on in Nov, notice how lean he is. It's the first time we've seen him. There's a ground blind about 20 yds behind him that was unoccupied that night

I was amazed at how quickly the deer lost the swelling in the neck and how lean they got so shortly after the rut. Almost all the bucks shot during 3B down here were lean.

The 8 pointer I saw in Sherburne on Sat was still swelled up pretty good. He was dogging a group of doe/fawn tracks through the snow. If we get a tough winter which it's shaping up like, bucks like the one I posted are going to have a tough time.

nice buck

Interesting, the last 2-3 years the bucks are group have taken and others I've seen in our area haven't had the traditional thick pudgy neck, Nov. 9th I took a buck, 3 1/2 year old and his neck was nothing. Is I doubt it but is something going on maybe with the rut and rutting activity ?

Hey I finally have my t-cam pics emailed to me by a friend, I could send them your way if you'd post them. I deleted some unworthy shots. Coons,blurry photo's, and left the buck ones.

I made it up north to check feeders and cams. Looks like the deer found them alright but the batteries only made it 2 weeks. Batteries and sub-zero days don't mix very well. At first I thought I had all does & fawns but this fella had both sides dropped by the 28th. Also a doe prior to sunset. I didn't look for any sheds... pretty tough with 18" of snow.

Here's a few i already posted but thought i'd put them here too, near my house in burnsville savage area, can't hunt there though.

dspohn- Where in savage? Im right over by Murphy Hanrehan Park. Some real monsters

[dspohn]

Over by a small river that goes into the MN river, but yeah my uncles got some nice sheds over there.

[ate1cropy]

I always see bucks but I can never find any sheds... I dont know if other people get em' first or what.

[ate1cropy]

Is there a special way to post photos? Im not very good with the computer and would like to post a couple so if someone could send a message telling me how. -thanks

[dspohn]

Make an account an photobucket dot com, upload your photos on there then copy the direct link and paste it on here. Otherwise email them to me and I can post them.
