Recent Trail Camera Pics

The past 3 weeks, I left my trail camera out, hoping to see a big buck still roaming around the bog. Even though no big bucks or small ones showed up with a full rack of antlers to smile for the camera, I was lucky enough to have a dependable trail camera take these. Here are some of my favorites:

The deer in the falling snow I believe is a buck minus the antlers...if you look at his left ear(double click on the pic to see a close-up)..to the left of it I think i see where the base of the antlers were.

Herd of deer travelling down a well trodden path

The next evening this doe showed up...

and a minute later..her friends came to the camera as well.



Take a look how now their coats are changing back to their spring/summer coat to camouflage them a bit better...
from a gray color to a light brown hue.

Isn't it cool to see the transition of their many coats? I love this trail camera!

I have a lot more pictures from my Cuddeback digital but these were my favorites...which one was your favorite pic you viewed?

A great tool for the avid nature lover

If you are a deer hunter, you know you have to put in a lot of time before the season, scouting for signs of deer, glassing a far off field, and preparing for the opening day by getting all the extra gear ready and in place. One excellent tool that has really eased a great deal of time in the field is the trail camera.

( The above pic is not my brand that I use, but I didn't want to get sued with using a pic without permission; this picture was copied from flickr.com)

When they first came out, they used a regular camera in the compartment, but now how technology has even entered the sport of hunting. Small compact flash cards that you put into the camera device allows the hunter to leave the camera out in the field all year, depending on how long the batteries last.



However, because of trespassing persons and the possibility of theft, I only keep mine out a few months out of the year. My Cuddeback trail camera is password protected...sort of like a pin number that you have to enter into the ATM bank machine in order for you to work with it, and view the pictures. If my trail camera were to be stolen, whomever would take it, would never be able to use it, because of this password code. The new models of Cuddeback Digital Trail Cameras are not password protected. I wonder why they eliminated that feature. Oh well...

I have all sorts of wildlife pictures taken on this trail camera...here's a silly picture I've taken in the field while I was sitting back in the recliner drinking a Coke, watching my daughter dance around, and Hunter running around chasing Dancer.
