Scouting

Tonight after work, I was able to head out to The Land to upload pictures from James' trail cam.  The camera is hung on a tree just west of "The Rock" on the south side of the property.  The Rock is a one of Doc's favorite hunting spots and the area has been an absolute whitetail highway this summer.  There is a fence line that runs east/west and separates the south swamp and the woods that acts as a natural trail for all kinds of wildlife.  We have had deer walk within less than 5 yards while sitting at The Rock and Doc shot a nice 8 pointer from this location a few years ago.  James has gotten some great pictures of a handful of really nice bucks.  We have counted at least 4 different large bucks including two 10 pointers, a 12 pointer and a nice 8 pointer.  James hasn't had a chance to pull pictures since the end of July, so Gus and I ran out there tonight and uploaded them to my laptop.  There seemed to be a lot of night time pictures in this batch and the deer movement seems to be more random that it has been throughout the summer.  We still were able to get a picture of the "Tall 10" and some nighttime pictures of a bigger deer.
