    The bad thing was I was sitting on the ground because a buddy had seen him and 6 other bucks on the opposite side of the mountain and I just didn't feel like walking up the entire mountain that evening. Ya never know...

    I feel your pain. I didn’t go out this day because it was warm out and the temperature was going to drop the next day. He’s standing 15 yards from my stand. [​IMG]

    This is the only thing that stinks about trail cams, they show us where we should have been. Just goes to show you deer do what they wanna do. Just when you think you know what they will do............

    Beautiful bucks guys. Hope you get another shot at them!

    Which Browning cam is your pic from? I have a browning that just died & looking to replace it. Really love the brownings but might be looking at some less expensive models too.

    Browning Strikeforce is all I know. I found a 2 pack for between $150 and $200 so I tried them out and so far they work great. My videos mess up every now and then though.

    Oh the joys and pain a trailcam can give us. It's happened to me before as well.

    Yeah I normally don't have one there but had it with me and stuck it up for about a week and it wasn't even on the main trail. Who knows what else I missed out on

    Have 3 Wildgame cams less than 2 yo. Use them for image only and take good pics. Once in a while at dusk &/or dawn the pic will be washed out but can still see the image OK.

    The only Wildgame cams I have used have been terrible for me. One was early on before all the new technology and the batteries would die after about 10 pictures and the other is relatively new but the pics are always washed out.
