The trail cameras have been checked a few times over the last couple of weeks and, quite frankly, we've been a little disappointed with the amount of pictures we've gotten. Whether it is camera malfunctions, the heat, or the standing corn we're not getting the amount of pictures we're used to. The fun part is trying to figure out the variables and start patterning the deer.....once we can get the cameras working properly.
In addition to checking the cameras, we were able to get some work done out at the land last weekend. On Friday 7/29, the mid north food plot got sprayed for weeds, we checked the ladder stand by the water fall, and moved James' ladder stand on the south side. We checked the progress of the food plots as well. Then on Saturday 7/30, Danny and Doc moved a stand to the far north. Needless to say we're more prepared by the first week of August than we've been for many years.
Here are a few pictures from the Mid North food plot:

After many pictures of all sorts of wildlife in the Sand Box last year, it's been quite disappointing so far this year. Not sure if the camera is acting up or what is going on. The sand has tracks, but there's not many pictures on the camera. Hopefully with some more tweaking we can get it figured out. Here's some pics from the Sand Box:
