    Checked my trail camera that I have at my house. I avg 200 pics a day. Today's pull.. 38 pics... I was expecting way more. Anyone else get the same results?

    "They" said it would make animals sleep. That's what my dog did.

    Yep. They love the clover that is planted down at the pond.

    I average about 150-200 pics / week here in Indiana. My last pull had 70 for the week. We've got acorns dropping already for some reason. I'm not sure if they are ripe, but I imagine the deer still get after them. I've noticed in previous years when the acorns are falling, they don't care about my trophy rock. It's also been pretty dry here. I don't know about the rain fall where you're at, but I think here they've gone to cooler wetter places besides my camera. I also noticed some shedding their summer coat, seems awfully early.

    I've noticed a few shedding too. No acorns dropping yet. If I don't check my camera all week I'll have about 1200 -1400 pictures.

    100 or so will be foxes or raccoons. But the rest will be deer.

    in a two week period at my mineral site I can easily get 3000-4000 pics at 1 pic every 2 min. If I only got 200 pics in an entire season I would be finding new ground.

    that right there is my favorite non-team post in over a month. I almost spit a mouthful of nacho chips on the screen.
    Well done, sir!

    I think it is mostly because these deer are woods deer and they lack the minerals they need. once velvet sheds it almost immediately dries up.

    If it's a windy enough day I can average one pic every 10 seconds.

    I have the same problem and we dont have many non windy days in ND. I have a 4 year old moultrie 990 that has sat on a corner post that looks over a corner of our field that has average about 2,000-4,000 pics up until snow fall. I cant even try to guess the amount of pics that camera has taken in its lifetime, enough that when it dies i might just have to put it on the wall next the the shoulder mounts.

    I actually watched the eclipse from my stand. I was the only thing out there. Nothing moving.
