    Well I spent my 4th of July out checking my trail cam. No luck again. My camera cannot get a single deer, yet every time I go out there I see deer lol. I saw 3 deer across an old corn field while I was checking my camera and went over to check them out. Turned out to be a young buck and 3 does. I moved my camera on the very edge of the CA in the area the deer were hanging out that had tons of tracks and pretty heavily used trails with a soy bean field right next to it. Hopefully this will get me something to look at! I was able to snap a couple pics with my phone of the young buck feeding from about 20 yards away and a doe from the same distance, maybe a little closer. Not sure if you can see them very well if at all, but they are in there haha. 100MEDIA_IMAG0019.jpg 100MEDIA_IMAG0021.jpg

    Ya it works just fine, well sorta. I had all pics triggered by the stupid trees/bushes moving in the wind. I haven't gotten any night pics, but that could be due to the fact that no deer are coming around. Only got 1 pic of a deer and it was a doe walking by in the middle of the afternoon. I moved it to a spot where anything moving in the wind shouldn't be an issue anymore because its in the woods more where the wind won't be as strong and the grass that is on the ground isn't very tall. It's a Wildgame Innovations IRx8, got it off camofire for like 75 bucks. Not the best, but it'll do for public ground.

    Yup, but just a trophy rock.
