Here is a link to my photobucket and the first trail cam pics of 2009: (lots of pics of what I think are 2-3 dif smaller 8 pts, coyotes, and black bear. I only uploaded the best ones I had 243 pics total) http://s743.photobucket.com/albums/xx76/RJKyle/?albumview=slideshow Here is the biggest buck so far (if you open with paint and zoom in you can see it better):
Those daytime bears pics are sweet. What is the animal on the tree in the first pic? Oh, and nice buck. Hope you get a crack at him man
Definitely a Fisher!! Way to big for a Pine Martin. Damn them cubs are big, does she have 3 of them? She don't even look like a sow head wise. Great pics!!!
I saw It one time, back In 1996. 2 blacks and a chocolate. 2 years ago In the 1st week of August one of the dairy farms up where my dad lives had a bunch of crop damage to his corn field. The game warden Issued him a couple of permits to shoot the bear. I sat with a guy that evening on the edge of that corn field. We saw 30 bear I believe It was. The one sow had 4 cubs, I couldn't believe what my eye's were seeing. That sow I'd bet was pushing 500 pounds dressed, biggest bear I've ever saw In the woods by a long shot. The guy I was with ended up shooting 2 bear that evening, both were 10 yard shots while we were on the ground. It was very exciting being on the ground that close to them. He shot them with a rifle of some sort. There's hardly any corn fields where I hunt or where this corn field Is, every year they catch hell from the bear right before the ears start to harden.
Great pics. A lot of variety in there. That buck looks great. He's enough to get you going to the stand on those days you are dragging.
Thanks guys...I'm pretty happy with the new stealth cams, thus far. Oh and the hard horned giants are showing up :D :
Great pics! The animal on the tree is one I have never seen before (being from Iowa), thanks for sharing! Good luck with that buck!
