Picked up a brand new farm, I have ZERO history with this area/county and ZERO history with this farm. I got the farm to duck hunt honestly. River runs through it, corn on 50% of it, and two quarries across the street. Well, I decided to deer hunt it and I feel like I'm not in OH at all. The land owner said he's never given permission and the deer def act that way. They don't walk around looking UP like most places I hunt. I decided to hang a camera and make a mock scrape after seeing 7 different bucks including one shooter in 3 sits. I passed a real nice P&Y 3 yr old 6x4, several REAL nice 2 yr olds, and there's more rubs than anywhere I've ever hunted. I hung this cam on the evening of the 30th over a mock scrape and hunted this morning, so it's had 4 days to sit. It had 280 pics and its not even on a major travel route. I've seen a lot of deer skirt where this camera is but I don't want to get to intrusive yet. I had a real nice deer beat me to the stand this morning but I was running late and got there after shooting hours and he was there right at shooting time. Hoping to get something patterned and killed my mid/late Oct so I can travel and duck hunt!
Here's a nice 3 yr old 10 pt that comes in almost every day:
