Trail Cam Pics - First Finger

Needless to say I was a little disappointed in the amount of pictures that I got from the trail running through the first finger.  It appears to be a well used trail, however I only got a handful of pictures over three weeks.  There is a chance that I did not have the camera set up in a the best location or had it set up incorrectly, however I did get pictures at all times during the day and night.  Maybe this trail isn't used as much as I thought?  Maybe it's too early??  Only time will tell.

The only pictures from week #1.  More than likely the 8 pointer that I saw underneath Jame's ladder stand on the south side.  Looks like a nice buck.

 

Nice doe using the trail.....somewhat alert.

 

There are FOUR deer in this picture.  Two of them are obvious, however you can make out two white tails towards the top left of the picture.  

 

The 2nd picture of the sequence.  Notice the last two deer's tails in the upper left hand corner. 

 

 

Pre-Season Scouting

After shooting the 3D tournament at Marshall Bluff, I ran over to The Land to hang up my new trail camera.  I didn't have a lot of time, but I decided to take a quick drive around the field road to check things out.  I was lucky enough to spot a deer standing under Jame's ladder stand that sits above the rock.  I spotted its orange coat easily and quickly noticed his velvet antlers.  I was able to get the binoculars on him to see a nice, high 8 point rack before he turned and traveled back into the woods.  I decided to hang my camera in the first finger along a well traveled trail that's about 20 yards from Bill's wooden platform stand.   I found a perfect tree with a great view of most of the trail.
