A year long review of game camera photos from 2-3 cameras set up at different locations in St. Louis County has proven to an enjoyable excercise. However, compared to some of the previous months, December’s results were mildly boring. Without further ado, here we go: The fights Two different cameras recorded small bucks sparring, including…
My fascination with game camera photos continues, even if largely the vast majority of images captured this month were of whitetail deer. We are monitoring 4 cameras at 2 different properties, both in St. Louis County. All of them are finding large numbers of deer, including many very nice bucks. And while they are recording…
I never really intended to take a crossbow deer hunting today. The plan was to help out a friend by sighting in his Centerpoint 370 crossbow for him while he was out-of-town. Then it would be all ready for him when he was ready to hunt next week. Before hitting the woods for the afternoon hunt…
Like every month, September and October provided some entertaining photos from the game cameras located in St. Louis County. As usual, most of the photos are of whitetail deer, but there are always squirrels, turkeys, other birds, raccoons, and opossum. This month we also managed to get a new animal for the property, pretty exciting…
September 1st means it is dove hunting season, and for some reason I was really excited for it to roll around this season. Maybe it was because the season opener fell on a Saturday and I knew that the boys and I would be able to go without much trouble. Maybe it was because we…
I have to admit I had a tremendous amount of anticipation leading up to my end of the month memory card retrieval from the game cameras. We have just had a fairly consistent stream of images from the same deer all year, and I was hoping that the good luck would continue. I also had…
The deer have gotten pretty comfortable on the St. Louis County property where these game cameras are located. We get far more deer on camera during the day than at night, and they often linger for a long time within camera view. The pair of young bucks is still hanging together, and few tall 7…
It was a chore walking into the woods to retrieve SD cards this go around. I had not been on the property for a month, and boy did the vegetation fill in! A few large trees had fallen over the “path” in, and clearly every spider in the county set up shop along the same…
Combine a malfunctioning camera with vegetation growing seemingly a few inches a day obstructing the camera’s vision and this adds up to a slow month for the game cameras. The main camera quit operating on May 9th for some reason, hopefully it is functional now. One of the other cameras got surrounded by the lush…
It was an exciting month indeed for the game cameras. We now have 3 cameras to monitor, and all produced at least a few decent photos this month. It has taken me a few days to go through them all and narrow down the winners worthy for a post. So first we will start with…
