We have seen random people show up on the trail cameras almost every year. I was thrilled when my hang 'em high setup revealed numerous mature bucks we never knew were there. I would rather see a coyote; they are skiddish of people and don't tend to come out in daylight hours. That's because we weren't getting many monster buck photos from ground level, even though sign was all around. This unique setup has paid off for me big time, and I hope other hunters will add this tip to their arsenal for scouting public land, or for capturing images of that wise old buck that has eluded trail cameras for years. Second, I'll hang a few cameras on natural edges and bottlenecks, and set wicks soaked with Active-Cam within 10 feet. I missed seeing what was happening in the woods so I decided to put a couple of cameras back out to see what was roaming around. In my early years of hunting, I was blessed with places to hunt on private land, like family farms and properties that were seldom hunted.
So wear scent-free clothes and boots, and spray down with a scent eliminator before entering the field. Who knows but now we may need to carry more protection than we usually do when we are checking the cameras and making tweaks to the food plots. But a couple of years ago, someone gave me a great tip that has produced the best trail cam pictures I've ever gotten, even on public land! This was the second time... And A Strong Cup of Coffee. When considering the location for your cameras, also keep in mind how you can access them in the future.
Old mineral sites: Even though we can't refresh them, we still hang a few cameras on old licks where we got the best pictures years ago. I have had pictures of this coyote for a while now and he (I assume it's a he) is always solo. I posted it on my Facebook page and got some great comments about what it could be. When you zoom in on the second picture, this looks like a crotch horn. This year, we had them again and it's getting a little old. I'm experimenting with Active-Cam two ways. I usually end up squealing when I see these pictures.
I am surprised that this little ones still has its spots but it is healthy! And will stay that way. Get you cameras out there this weekend and keep them running up to and throughout deer season. Then using the camera's sensor test, I found the shot angle that worked best and cinched the camera tight. It is the only baby around and I would love to get a chance to watch them while I am hunting. What about the coyote? No one shot either one last season so they are still around assuming that the winter did not kill them off. Here are 5 spots to set your cameras and get images of bucks if you hunt in a state or county that does not permit the use of food or minerals to attract deer. This is also a good idea in areas of high hunting pressure, where mature bucks are more easily spooked by obviously placed cameras. They just freak me out especially when you can hear them but not see them. When we pulled the memory card a week or so ago, we saw this picture. Read Recent Tip of the Week: • How'd My Powder Get Wet?
