Title: 2016 Trail camera pictures
Post by: osage outlaw on August 29, 2016, 03:53:10 pm
I thought I'd start a thread to post your trail camera pictures for this season. 

BJ, if  you can't figure out how to post your pictures can you email them to me and I'll post them for you

That is a nice wide buck.  Looks like he has some junk on the bases.  I bet he breaks some of those off fighting unless you get him early.  It's hard to tell from your picture but it looks like it has some burrs stuck to it.  I've been seeing that a lot on the deer in my pictures.  The wet summer must have been good for the burrs. 

You can see them stuck to the doe and fawns in this picture.

My brother in law cut the field for me.  This doe came out to feed when he was still mowing.

Nice pictures, Clint what have you got in that corner, seems all the deer like that spot for some reason.
 Beau pulled the cards and checked them out yesterday on 3 camera's :), I didn't get a copy of the pictures, no real big bucks but several 8's and 7"s and some smaller scrub bucks and lots of doe. I told him to send them to me, if he dose I will post them.

Pappy,   They are always crossing that corner of the field there.  I think that's the busiest spot on our property.  I've been dumping out some leftover grain out there to give them something to snack on. 

 
Arrowbuster,   Nice pictures.  I'm always excited to get a bobcat on camera.

They are starting to get more common around here.  The first time I took my daughter hunting we had one walk by our ground blind 15 yards away.  I've been hunting for 25 years and that was my first live sighting.  My Dad has never seen one.  My daughter gets to see one her first time out.

I thought you might be considering that Pearl. I was a little Leary to even post those pictures on the web. I think that's the 2nd nicest live buck I've ever seen. Kinda puts me in a delima, I always said my QDM is take out the ugly racks leave the nice ones. I've taken some ugly ones now I suppose not to be a hypocrite I should leave the nice one. lol. It would be easier to leave him if I knew nobody else would take him, at least through the rut. I'm almost hoping I see him a lot but don't get a shot at him, does that sound incredibly stupid?

Post by: PEARL DRUMS on September 08, 2016, 01:51:01 pm
BJ I'm willing to bet your whole idea of hunting is about to get flipped over on its head. Once you start chasing critters with wood and wood you really put emphasis on the hunt and enjoying your hard fought gear,  and not so much what the arrow is aimed at. If you can get your arrow in ANY buck, you will be doing cartwheels. I guess what I'm saying is your mind set will probably change and "buck management" wont be so important to you. I could be wrong? I guess we will find out in a few weeks.
Title: Re: 2016 Trail camera pictures
Post by: bjrogg on September 08, 2016, 02:34:02 pm
I'm sure your right Pearl, right now I'd be doing cartwheels if I got a groundhog. I'm very much looking forward to getting out there with my stuff and just enjoying the hunt. I'm pretty sure I'm in for some humble pie yet but any time I can get out hunting is great. I don't figure on getting very picky about what I shot but probably what kinda shoot I shot. It's all gonna be so different, I can see it in my mind but I know that's probably not how it will happen. Maybe I'll be surprised.

I checked my cameras this past weekend. What a let down that was. Found one camera to no longer be working, won't power up even with brand new batteries. The other camera only had 9 pics on it, and every pic was so blurry I couldn't tell if it was a doe or a small buck, and 3 of the 9 pics were of my ugly mug. Probably check again this weekend and maybe move my one working camera to a new spot.

Good looking buck bj, hope you get a crack at him, Like Pearl said thoughts seem to change when you break out the stick and string only for most folks. I manage my deer by what I hunt with, that's management enough for me.  :) Also never really figured why folks manage deer if they are going to let the nice one pass, I thought that was the point to have nice ones to take, :-\ of course to me they are all nice ones, I tell folks that I will only take a 20 incher, of course I am talking about back strap. ;) :) :) Hope for all you guys the best this year, it is almost here for us, the 24th of this month. :)

Title: Re: 2016 Trail camera pictures
Post by: bjrogg on September 09, 2016, 06:48:51 am
Thanks Pappy, I'm really not a big QDM guy I actually argue with them because they say take at least 4 points on one side. To me it makes more sense to take the really odd shaped racks and leave the nice shaped ones for stock. I agree they are all nice ones and I really do enjoy watching them through out the year. I'm sure IF I get anything I'm going to be as proud as I was when my Wife gave me my 1st born child.
Dave I know what you mean about the cameras. My one just seems like it hardly ever triggers to take a picture anymore (it never was real good at it) and now my one that took these pictures quit working says error 50 hope I can figure it out. Mine take really blurry pictures in the morning when they are fogged up from dew. Also really helps to aim them north away from sun.

I feel like the trophy for me is age, both does and bucks, although I don't pass a 1 and a half or two and a half year old as often as  I will a buck that age. I have a feeling this year I won't be passing on any opportunities till the freezer is stocked

These aren't trail camera pictures.  I noticed something laying in my parents driveway this afternoon.  I grabbed my binoculars and checked it out.  It was a bobcat!  I took a few pictures through the window and then went outside to try to get closer.  I got a few more pictures and then my parents drove in the lane and scared it off.

I don't think so Pearly.  It looked like it was just chillin'.  When it saw us it got up and took off into the woods.  The squirrels weren't very happy with it.  We could hear them barking at it.

Looks normal to me on the cat. looks like a pretty confident little female to me. I sure treasure all the times I have got a glimpse of these animals but they always seem to be rather tough acting and wanting to let you know that they are in charge of the situation, not the inferior human. Kinda like most cats. I am sure that one is feeling pretty safe around the humans it tolerates every day.
Title: Re: 2016 Trail camera pictures
Post by: osage outlaw on September 13, 2016, 07:03:11 am
Nice pictures Pappy.  I bet those deer will be in the freezer before to long.


Chief RID, I think you are right about it feeling safe.  My parents saw it cross their driveway the day after I took those pictures.  It must be living nearby.  There is a small pond in the woods there.  It's probably crossing there to get a drink.

Post by: bjrogg on September 13, 2016, 07:08:43 am
Nice pictures Pappy, if I was a betting man I'd bet there's a better chance for filling the freezer in your pictures, so far all I got is pictures and that may very well be all I end up with. lol.
Chief Rid, I've never seen a live Bobcat but I was thinking exactly what you said. Looks to me like just doing what cats do and didn't feel threatened. I have seen some trail cam pictures of them not far from here. Not sure if we really have some or if someone let one go here. Several years ago we had a Wolverine in the neighborhood, not sure how it got here but it lived here for several years before it died a natural death.

On my way to a nearby town here a few miles away in october once a mother and at least 4 kittens went across the road in front of me.Nice to see.Seems like anywhere there are lots of bunnies and mice the bobcats are around there.

I moved the trail cam to this corn feeder we can see from the kitchen window and bought new corn to add. The fresh corn sat there for 2 or 3 days before anything messes with it. I could tell it wasn't a deer because none of the corn on the ground was eaten and only some of the corn in the feeder. Here are a few pics of the culprit. I got 16 pics over 3 nights of this young bear...

  We've had a rash of coyotes around too. About day break this morning a flock of geese flew over honking and that got the coyotes stirred up. It sounded like 100 of them but with the goose calls too it was hard to tell. I thought for sure I'd get at least one coyote pic but I was wrong.

Ed, I keep the corn in the galvanized trash can in the pic. In one pic he is sniffing it but hasn't tried to open it ..YET! Last year a bigger bear tried to get in the can and dented it up and rolled it around. I have a screen door spring with an "S" hook on each end that goes under the top handle and hooks on the side handles. I did this to keep the coons out, not thinking about bears. So far it has held up but I know time is getting short before one gets in it.

We have 2 pics trail from a few years ago, one with Marcia and I walking down the driveway and in the second one a bear crossing the driveway 6 minutes before us. We both love knowing that these critters are out there and we can share our home with them, or vice versa. That's why we bought 25ac almost 30 years ago...to get away from people and have nature all around us...and we succeeded at both.   8)

Well, he came back and tried to get in the trash can of corn. The lid is still on but he got some corn out. I took these pics before we were rudely interrupted...

...all of a sudden Maggie haphazardly ran up the hill through the bushes... than Luck ran off. It seems the bear opened a yellow jacket's nest last night too, right next to the feeder. Both dogs got hit, both are OK. This is the first yellow jacket nest I've found this year. Usually I find at least a few and usually at least one gets me...but so far, not this year. I was fortunate enough to be far enough away to not get hit. Once they calm down a bit I'll pull the card from the camera to see who caused all this commotion.

It's the damn yellow jackets I'm afraid of. This young bear is just a goof ball.  ;)   This time of year Momma bears have run the young males off to prepare for the mating season. These young juveniles, like with all species, are the trouble makers, the ones that get into mischief.

Pat, that's a big bear.  If I had those on my property I'd be packing a 44 mag. anytime I left the woods.


We started putting up our stands today.  I grabbed the camera card while we were out.  I'm not sure what this guy was doing.  I guess he was feeling his oats.

He/she was back 2 days ago, at about 9:30pm. Knocked over the corn container again but nothing was inside. I'll wait a little longer before I start putting out corn again. The funny thing is we haven't had any deer at our trail cams lately. My wife thinks it because of the bears and coyotes, I'm not sure why myself. All we usually get is does, yearlings and fawns anyway.

Just got back from camp...did a little firewood cutting getting ready for some colder weather....these are some of the first pictures I've gotten this year.  I have two weeks worth of pictures and have no bucks during the day.  day time pictures are doe only.  also I see that the next time i'm out there I need to cut the weeds down in front of the camera, it's getting a flash back from the camera at night...... the floor of the woods is really thick this year around my hunting area.  We have had good rain all summer long.  The acorns are everywhere, good mast crop this year.  I've got a couple of small 8 points, a small 10 point and a 9 point that has a forked G2.  This is the most bucks I've seen this early on camera in years..... They usually aren't in the deep woods until later in the season.  I guess it's all the acorns...

I think those does will hang around for awhile yet Ed. I watched them come out in that same spot the last 2 nights. If it was a lone doe or little buck I wouldn't have thought twice. I was afraid if I shot one from that group that tree stand would be done for the year, hopefully I made the right choice. I actually have lots of picture of that buck there mid day who know maybe things will work out as planned. Either way it's been a lot of fun so far I wouldn't change a thing. If I had been in the tree myself and my equipment would have been totally soaked and trailing would have been very poor.
Good Luck everybody.

Here is poor Gourdy. He got his name from the dinosaur gourd we used for his head. His skeleton is 2" PVC pipe pivoted on a metal rod driven into the ground so Gourdy will turn in a breeze. The metal rod was bent at the ground level and Gourdy's head and PVC shoulders were near the creek.
 Gourdy's body was stuffed with plastic grocery bags and bread bags but Gourdy has been up for at least 3 years. Maybe Gourdy moved in a breeze and Bertha attacked. Anyway, here are a few pics.

I hate to say it Pat, but I kinda gotta go with Pappy and Osage. I know you know more about living with bears than I do, but I hope they share your respect for your family the same as you do for theirs. I know your no dumbie and enjoy watching them but a little fear of humans might be a good thing. I hope this doesn't offend you but I'd sure hate to see you or your loved ones hurt. They are probably no more dangerous than a lot of humans but some of them need to be scared off too.

Title: Re: 2016 Trail camera pictures
Post by: Pat B on October 06, 2016, 09:32:21 am
I'm not offended at all. We've lived here 26 years. Any time we have a personal encounter with a bear the bear always ran off, even a big sow with 3 cubs a few years ago. They are always active this time of year looking to fatten up before winter. Most of the time we find bear scat it is full of bird seed, their #1 food source this time of year. Looks like we will have a good acorn crop this year so bear activity will slow down a bit because of that.
 In the city limits of Asheville the DNR has tagged 30 to 40 bears that live inside the city. They raid dumpsters , trash cans and bird feeders but seem to leave people alone.
 We aren't being stupid about these bears but we do live with them and respect them and what they are capable of if provoked. I've had a compost pile here since we move here in 1990 and the bears have never bothered it, crows and coons yes but not the bears(at least not so far).

That looks like a different deer from the one you previously posted.Not just the velvet but the space between the beam tips I mean.The news gets around fast about a big buck shot.They do that by me too.I was very alarmed and pissed when I saw a big buck just across the fence with just his head cut off and that was it.It was before deer season too.
My neighbor used to lease his ground out to strangers.He does'nt do that any more.

I'm sure there's still some out there Osage, not sure if there for me. Who knows maybe there's even a bigger one nobody has seen yet. Either way I'm happy just to get out there and see them once and a while. Man he sure was a majestic looking one right in his prime. Would have been fun watching him spar with his buddies

I agree with ya bubby......and I'd go as far to say a big old doe from the ground taken with your own tackle would be a trophy .... and with your own stone point ....well ?????  how many people have done it.......???

Bubby and Dbar, I hope I'm not sending the wrong message. Believe me if I get anything it's gonna be the best trophy I've ever gotten. Sure wish I'd of gotten that doe. So close but so far away. I might not end up with anything but when I shoot my bow and arrows that I hunted with its almost a trophy already. It just feels good carrying it to and from my spot. I think I'm hopelessly hooked

You guys timed your visit at the perfect time.  Halloween and the first few days of November have always been my best days for killing mature bucks.  They should be cruising during the day.  Bill's place is only 2 hours away from me so the timing should be the same.  I've always done better in the mornings.  I think I've only killed one mature buck during an evening hunt and that was in 2008.  The rest have all been before 10:00 am.  I hope you guys get to see some action.

I swapped memory cards out on my way in from hunting this morning.  Got a few decent pictures.

I threw a leafy osage branch out in front the camera.  This coyote must not have where it was.  He drug it 10 yards to the edge of the field.

Bill, that scrape has been under that cedar tree for as long as I can remember.  It's there every year.   I think that scrape is the busiest spot on our entire property.   When we hung up our stands we bent down a hackberry limb over a trail by one of the stands and tied it off.  We are hoping they turn it into a scrape.  I have been staying out of that stand until the bucks are out in daylight so I don't know if it worked or not.

I put out corn to keep the doe around but the corn hasn't been eaten this year like in past years.   I think it's due to the acorn crop.  There's acorns everywhere.  That will make hunting in big woods much harder this year.  But better in the later season.  I sure hope we can get on them when you and Greg are down.

A new buck has taken over the scrape.  He has showed up the last 3 mornings before daylight to work it.  He's got a messed up rack on one side.  The name Snaggle Rack instantly came to mind when we saw the pictures.  Best I can tell he's got 6 points on one side and 3 on the other.  His neck is starting to swell up.  He should be cruising during daylight soon.
