2010 Trail Cam Pics Thread

You all are killing me with all these nice buck photos! Good luck to all of you and I hope you get to chose which one of those monsters you want to take.    

I don't have that luxury and it's mostly like a lottery for me, but at least I'm still breathing and walking and I relish every single minute that I can sit in the woods. Thank God for deer season!

I know exactly how that is. I got  a couple good buck on a trial cam, but never have seen anything like that while hunting.  I totally agree with the last part after last weekend.  You have no idea how much I agree with that.

The last 4 days saw a lot of action at the rubbing post. I chose these to share with yall...

That big 3 point BT with the eye guards is a STUD!

I thought black tail had small racks?? Those look like mulies!! Wow!

Ron, please tell me about the rubbing post. Did you plant that in the ground yourself specifically for the deer to rub on? Is it cedar, or something else?
My brother lives in Texas and he said the bucks have nothing to rub on besides cactus and mesquite. I told him he should install a rubbing post and cedar is a good option because the bucks love the smell.
Is that what you did?

Ron what you need is a big blacktail on your cams     Nice pics! Looks like you got your camera fixed. Thanks! As you know I want to hunt those critters so bad. Your pics make it worse   :p

The forest service uses these pressure treated posts for the road signs. They have a distinct petroleum odor that the rutting bucks and bears can't resist.

There's some posts that have been rubbed in two from years of abuse. I've wanted to hang a trailcam on some of them for years, but figured somebody would find by the road and either steal or vandalize it. I finally found this post on an old abandoned road that isn't drivable any longer.

For several years it wasn't getting touched, but I began putting scent on and near it and last year they began using it. You can see one or two of the bucks were scent marking before or after their visit.

No, it just worked better for the night pics this time. The daylight pics were crappy, anything with snow or white parts of the deer were red, blue, and yellow, really psychodelic actually!

Awesome Ron!

Here's a couple of pretty good pics I got this week. Not deer but I really like the pics. I posted them on another thread but wanted them to be on this one, too....just for the record.

[Bill Carlsen]

Thought I should post one of the pics from last  night's camera card. There's more on another thread.

Thanks for sharing that. I hadn't really even noticed them urinating until you pointed that out, they are definitely leaving their calling card to let the other boys know who's been here.
Must be kinda like writing on the bathroom stall door?

Nice pics Bill, that's a beautiful 10pt. or 5x5 however you all up in NH describe them. That doe has got to be one of the fattest does I've seen in a long time! What the heck are you all feeding them up there? She's a pork chop!

Here are a few from earlier in the year. Never could catch up with this big boy during the season,   Keenan

Keenan, now THAT'S a buck! Wow!

[steadman]

Great buck Keenan! WOW!

Cluck....Cluck......Ki,Ki.....Cluck

Looks like your set on turkey breast this year Mike. Man, they are close too, I hope you got a blind in the edge of that field.

That's one thing I can usually count on and hit a big zero on this fall. I had turkey in my clover this summer, but they disappeared around the middle of September and I can't find them anywhere. I going to blame the over abundance of acorns again for that, just like my deer pulling a Houdini on me.

Checked my USFS road sign post again yesterday. Been lots of activity from a dink spike to a 160" hawg!











Crappy sensor!
