Large buck sticking tongue out

The game camera photos from January (and late December) proved to be full of variety with some really great shots captured. You think that I might get bored with this routine, but I seriously can hardly wait to retrieve these SD cards and review the images. While the primary purpose might seem is to track…

Giant whitetail buck on game camera

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…

Today was a rough day at work, with nothing quite working out as planned and productivity not what I was hoping it would be.  I was feeling a bit stressed out and needed to cool off a little bit.  Fortunately for me, the sun was out and the temperatures were creeping into the 40’s.  My…

For some reason, I am obsessed with game cameras.  Every time I retrieve a card and upload the photos, I am as giddy as a kid at Christmas.  I only monitor a few cameras, and the quality is average at best.  In an effort to slow the spread of Chronic Waste Disease in Missouri among…
