Well dress clothes and all rolled into the property and got cards pulled and batteries changed....deer already on cameras....lots of does still and no mature bucks...do have a couple regular camera cards to pull that I suspect may have some goodies.
If you have the does, the bucks will come. I live in the mountains in PA, and we always have lots of does around and never any bucks until 10/31. Year after year that's when they show up and there's usually a good one. I usually save it for my 16-year-old granddaughter who we've been raising since she was 2-weeks old. She started hunting with me at the age of 7 with a crossbow. She has always shot better than I ever could. I'm headed back to Ohio on Friday morning. I have 2 cameras that I need to change the SD cards on and I'm hoping they have something new.
Oh for sure, it is just an odd year on my place given all the chaos...normally already have one or two that summered and stayed but not this year. Time will change all of that.
I could not find the photos. Imagine that, I started taking trail cam photos when we had to make our own cameras. Two of my buddies and I made the first trail cams we had ever seen. Bought a "brain box" from some genius in Arkansas and had to solder the wires to one of the first digital olympus cameras and then mount it all in metal first aid boxes that we cut openings in for the sensor and camera lens and sealed glass in with silicone. So, that is a long winded way of telling you that I have a very disorganized mass of somewhere around 1.79 billion pictures and really only pay much attention to the last year or two. lol. I did get a few laughs and a few "I wonder what ever happened to that deer?", moments while looking though. I also got to relive a few amazing hunts.
I may dust off the rust of that first hunt tomorrow....always takes long to get in that groove of setting up camera arm and everything and getting back into the groove....cold front but NO bucks worth shooting. If presented a chance I might shoot a doe honestly....will keep everyone posted if I decide to.
I was hoping to get out last night but my daughter turns 8 today and we had a last minute birthday dinner with grandparents last night. The low tonight is supposed to be 30 here with the barometer continually increasing in to mid day tomorrow.
