Title: Trail Camera Mother Load!!!
Post by: Oliverstacy on March 13, 2010, 11:43:00 PM
I put my trail camera on a spot hoping to get some pictures of deer...I hit the mother load!

Moultre I-40 with 2 MB card...3400+ photos in 5 days from 1-29-10 to 02-04-10.  This was 2 ½ hours from my house so it has taken me a while to get it.

I'll have some photos posted soon...never did I expect to get this many this quick and nice bucks!

What it looks like in the daylight:

Basically when we dry our field corn we have a unit that draws the pink corn fuzz and small fines out of flow as it comes out of our corn dryer...this is the pile frozen in the snow.

It's like a huge frozen block of corn crud lollypop!  I just put a camera on the end of the pipe.

That's the good thing about this...they all made it through!

Is this the same buck a year earlier?

If you watch a lot of the main hunting shows they talk about how you never see a mature buck in daylight (during the fall season) unless it's cold and no pressure.  Unless he's chasing during the rut.

This is a perfect example...I had the camera in a strategic places all fall and it never got one good buck (many small bucks) but I knew they were there from summer sightings.

Hey Arwin...the 8 with the small kicker on the left brow has to be the buck I saw from the tree you hunted with your climber and I later climbed up in with mine.

The tall brow 8 is one I think resides close to ¾ of a mile away during the year but finds this in the winter.

That corn pop sure was drawing them in.  Great way to see what might be available next year.  Good luck at seeing one of hose big boys next fall.
