Stressless "Why do both Picture and Video captures ?" -> 153" Droptine harvest ... and more!

[Stressless]

I'll post up my most interesting and "quality" pics and vids from the farm past and present (only if they are worthy). Like this and you'll get notified as I get to them.

Doing a combo on your trailcams smokes batteries quicker - but as this little gem of a capture below indicates, it is worth it - if you plan right and are very lucky!!
153" droptine harvest off a trailcam, from the farm 2016 - Best and only Droptine buck taken. Only have pics of one other and was a beaut - double droptine same year.

Enjoy the great capture - and yes you can see the arrow in flight. This Trailcam maker, USATRAILCAMS, made a great product but it didn't hold up and they went under. Some of my best captures were with these cams. I'm now a huge Browning Dark Ops fan. Great Videos!

amazing you caught it on a trial cam

Damn, how high up in the tree are you from the field? Looked like a crazy steep angle and almost impossible if something walks the edge close to you.

All my stands are 21'-24' at the seat. You have to practice up there - but you don't need an O2 cylinder ...

Here's another lucky capture of a #2 Globber taken with bow this year. Max video on the Browning is 2 ,minutes - I'm glad it was - caught my miss and the score in one take!

Letting a beaver do the work of "early successional habitat" .. but he's gnawing on my oak poles so prolly goona smoke him in late Jan. Hung a trail camera on it this spring and again late winter. Such a great highway/chokepoint! I call this area Beaver Bottom.

Perspective for the beaver dam, 6'-7' deep, 145' long, .6 acres - bass and bluegill with lots of Woodies. They created a $20,000 pond for free.

Blue Heron - "walks like an Egyptian ... lol"

Woodies of Beaver Bottom shaking a tail feather.

You have a beautiful wildlife sanctuary and have caught some unbelievable footage with your cameras....
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much, lots of honest work in the farm, I appreciate the feedback.

This is one of the most unique captures of Whitetail Buck vocalizations - all the action is on the front end of the video, turn up your volume!

Got any fights on cam?

 

[Stressless]

Buck Fight Club - Snort Wheeze at the beginning (0:03) these two knuckleheads went at it for almost 15 hours...postured for a couple hours then sparred off and on throughout the night. Stitched about 4 or 5 of the best videos together. Interesting to watch the dominance play out on the computer screen after I pulled that card.

Cool! Flying squirrels? I’ve gotten a few pics of them but I’ve never ran a cam in video mode.

 

[finelyshedded]

I’ve gotten a few FS videos but only at night going up and down small trees and MAN, THEY'RE QUICK AND THEIR EYES GLOW HUGE!!!

Yup. I didn’t even know we had them in Ohio until I posted a pic online asking what it was.

One of the first real good bobcat series, closing in on a groundhog - for those that are thinking about running you cams on "Multi-Shot" - Man I wish I had this on video....

Predators on parade in the cold weather... beaver dam funnel delivers...

Man, those are some really cool pics. Thanks for posting!

Seems these color phase are more common than I thought! I very rarely get good bobcat pics, they move too dang fast. Been getting them on the regular for 3 years now but maybe only have 5 good pictures where people wont just go wth is that?
