I will get my camera out in the woods tomorrow. I tried post a picture of a good buck from last Nov, but I will have to figure out how. The instructions and my screens do not match. I have not been on this site in 10 years. Just started hunting again last year. That buck and the others are probably still there and a little bigger.
Note: Just found I need to make 5 post first. I'll go say hi on other forums and try again,Last edited by RogerBTX; 08-19-2016, 01:00 PM.

Checked my camera Saturday. It was out 21 days and I had 22 incidents (not counting more pics same deer at same time). 5 were bucks with 2 in evening, 1 just before daylight and two night. All bucks in major or minor activity times. 15 were does, a few of those where pairs, and 2 IDK what they were.
This spot is nothing more than I put the camera on a scrape last year. No structure or funnel. Apparently it is in a traveling area.
Might be three different bucks and just barely shooters, if so. No big ones yet.
Zero hog sign. checked out some new areas. I need another camera. Might have found a community scrape.

We are west of Boykin Springs. I made a 4-mile hike south of Boykin Springss on old roads and some off-road Saturday. Lots of tracks in the sand. So do not know if it is daylight movement. Just have to wait out the heat and 100's of squirrel hunters the the first week of archery. I imagine where I was will be crowded at times. Last year I heard shotgun blast every minute for 2 hours on opening morning.

Young bucks are getting horny. Found six or more scrapes Saturday while scouting a new area. Set out a trail camera on a site that looked to be an annual scrape site that I found on the last trip. Cousin set two cams near the new scrapes. Those new scrapes were in an area he found while turkey hunting. Many rubs with deep gouges in the tree.
Did not have time to hike back into the area to check my first camera. Guess I'll check it opening day and look for hog sign. Squirrel hunters were thick in there last year, so opening day may be a stalking/ scouting trip. Last year there were shotgun blast every 15 seconds for two hours.
