    Coverts get the job done.

    These are from my Covert mp6 rivercam. We had 16 straight days of rain here, and the last day was a complete downpour resulting in floods across the whole county.

    Heres pictures of me during my last check:

    Heres a nice buck that just showed up this week, hes being named "Highwater":

    Then the water started rising:

    These next 2 pictures are in chronological order, #17 and #24, look at the dates and the levels of the water:

    The camera took 0 pictures while underwater for 2 days. There was 600 pictures of the water going back down over the last 3, including this one (#312):

    And then me checking the camera (#658):

    Covert...worth every penny.

    Too bad there weren't any pics of fish. You may have been the first to get a pic of a fish. Nothing like a Covert though.

    I pulled the camera to check it out, but later this week im going to take it back out and angle it to the right a little more. Most of the deer seem to be coming from that direction.
