New guy, looking wide, showed on this card pull. Camera batteries died several days ago.



By my count, I've had at least 5 different bucks in the back yard. That's an unusually high number. Two of them are virtually twin dinks that, if I didn't have a picture with both of them in it, I would think it was one deer. This is the 6th year living there and off the top of my head I can't remember getting more than 2 bucks on camera in the summer here.

I've only had a couple of scrub bucks behind my place thus far. I usually don't see any good ones until the beans start flowering. Right now the field is all weeds so we'll see what happens in the next month or so.

So I got ballsy and hung a camera on some public ground. I had it in a pretty subtle location, a saddle I found over the winter that had a lot of sign. Being paranoid, I brushed the camera in pretty well.



Too well. The leaves dropped and partially covered the lens a lot.



It made nighttime pics useless. The flash was reflecting right back into the lens.



When the lens wasn't obscured, I got a few deer on camera. I had the camera up for about two weeks.

Slow start to the trail cam "season" for me, but it's nothing new. I typically do not start getting buck photos consistently here until mid-October. I'm getting tons and tons of turkey pics, which is new for this property. Lots of longbeards, too.





I have a feeling I will see this buck a lot this year.



Some daylight does.

The deer I had on camera last year that dropped his antlers real early (mid-December) showed back up. Pretty much looks identical to last year. I'm a little relieved to see him because with dropping so early last year I wondered if it was a sign he was injured or stressed.

So last winter when I was scouting some public ground, I found one really obscure little spot with lots of sign that I thought was promising. Deer sign, yes...people sign, no. Just an out-of-the-way little spot I doubt many people ever go into. I hung a camera last week and left it for 5 days. I pulled it today.
