I discovered a deer path under a cattle fence that cuts a big riverline forest in two so I set the camera and I add a few mineral blocks to see what was walking around. The mineral blocks are those pink rocks just side by side to the path under the fence.

Two foxes, a dow and a young buck, and what it seems a mature buck.

Notice that at this moment most bucks have already loose their antlers (not all of them but mostly yes). They will have full developed antlers for december so I must be patient.. Roll Eyes

Lorenzo. Those are fine photos. I need to get one of those and set it up where I know the elk are crossing. Does it work by a trip wire or laser?

Lorenzo, Nice Picts. It will be interesting if you can get picts of that buck as his antler growth continues.

Steve,
I agree, it must be great to see antler growth as the year goes on. I am turning crazy with these cams..is like hunting 24 hrs a day seven days a week !!!

All you have to do is to go now and then to check batteries and change the compact flash card.

Bill, they take the picture when they detect movement in a given area. Coloured pic by day and black and white by night. Also gives you info about date and time.

It doesn't have flash so they don't give away their presence so easy...just an infrared flash that animals don't pay atention.

With 4 D cell alkaline batteries they can run a month or more depending how much activity they have and with 1 Giga Compact Flash Card they can store more than 800 pictures !! depending if they are day or night pictures as the coloured ones are 3 megapixels and the black&white are 1,5 megapixels.

Wonderful pictures Lorenzo, thank you for sharing them. Axis deer is one of my favorite game, and best meat for eating.

Be sure to dry age the axis meat for a little while... (very, very good.) The only hard part is if you dry age the whole carcass, you have to restrain yourself from cutting off pieces to eat, while butchering.

Lorenzo,

I share your passion for looking at pictures taken by game cams. I have two different hunting leases in the Texas hill country. I have three game cameras set out. They take approximately 2000 pictures a month. It is the highlight of my trip each month to go and get the disks and come back to camp and fire up my computer and check out my pictures.
The following pictures are of axis bucks taken at my feed pen near lost maples state park in the Texas hill country. This lease is a 3000 acre low fenced ranch. The axis and other exotics wander in and out and range according to the time of year. I supplement with protien, roasted soybeans and corn between January and September. We put up pens to keep the cows and hogs out. We do not shoot off theses pens.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."
