Trail cam check

Post by DuckHunt »

I went to check the trail cams today and I'm glad I did. A large tree had fallen into the tree that one of my ladder stands is on. It would have been a matter of time before it came down and squished the stand. It was my daughter's prime hunting location so she was sad to know it has to move.

One of my camera is a Cuddyback and I had to pull it down and retire it. This year the night photos it takes are all black. It makes it almost pointless since 80% of the photos are night photos. I'll have to pick up another cam eventually.

While reviewing the photos, I haven't seen any decent antler growth worth mentioning. Like last season, I'm full up on spikes. But, I've got at least one bear roaming the mountain that makes the rest of them look puny.

This looks like good bear to me.

Until you see this bear.

This one looks a little small.

But it looks tiny compared to this one.

If he sticks around, I may have to pick up a bear tag again.

That's a beauty pumpkin head! Looks like the belly is dragging the ground and small ears that are far apart. That says shooter all day long.

I had a tree fall last year at one of my stands after deer season and knocked my Bushnell camera off the side of the tree, the camera still works but the plastic piece at the back where the belt slid through is broken. It was a big white oak that fell right in my shooting lane and ruined that hunting spot.

The bear is a nice one I hope you can get him.

Top two & fourth picture are very nice bear. The Third picture might be a female, and here in Pa. it's breeding season yet. I again had a bear adjust my one trail camera for me, in pictures from today.
