MMad, those last 2 pix are enough to get anyone's buck fever to start spiking! Not the rack so much as the stance and neck of that buck and the scenario you are witnessing. Cool pix.

O'kay now what kind of camera?

Also a question can most of you put your SD card directly in a regular camera and few it. I know some camera's you can not. At times it is nice to look at pictures in the field.

Looks like an older Moultrie Flash camera.

Some game cameras and point and shoot cameras with a LCD viewing screen are compatible. It all depends on the type of formatting the two cameras use for picture storage. You basically have to test and see.

I'd love to post all my deer pics for the year, but some low life cut through hardened lag bolts and my cable lock to steal my cameras.

Saw this guy tonight just before 5. Wouldn't be my biggest, but would be with a bow. I'll let it fly given the opportunity.

What's a good trail cam? My Stealthcam I bought a few years ago is garbage..

What is your price point? If money isn't a problem, Reconyx ($500+). If you want a good camera, at a fair price point (Moultrie M-80 ($140-170) or Bushnell Trophy Cam ($150-180).

*I realize there are many other options, and many that may be good/better/whatever, but in my experience, this is where I would start my search.

I use the spypoint G4 that I got for $99. The batteries (6 AA's) last forever in it and it takes decent pictures.

Ripn lips, they are in a seeking phase. Nose to the ground intersecting doe trail/bedding areas. Looking for a hot doe, which in one area I hunt one musta come into estrus early. Bucks we're on their feet grunting. Should be a good weekend. Typical pre-rut. If there is a hot doe it seems like the rut is on. If not, it's just cold and quiet.

Saw him chasing a doe the other day.

I guess ugly needs love too. grin

He is kind of interesting though.

Cool pictures and 2 different bait piles, what do you usually spend since you must keep feeding throughout the winter and spring ?

Oh right on right on, thinkin I'm seein the reason for not allowing baited hunts in MN because a muzzy or bow hunter it would be heaven. 9:40 AM and that big guy has no fear of the daylight although he seems concerned lol. Cool pictures. Do you then feed through the winter/spring or do you stop when muzzy and bow are done ?

Was happy to see "tumor buck" made it, (on his belly) saw him Saturday of opener but no shot, also broke a few tines since. He should be a stud next year. The small one with what looks like 2 main beams. Here are a few other ones that should be dandies next near... full-38623-27167-pict0017.jpg

      I don't know, this save the plant thing looks like a money maker, for someone! 🫤 Where do you think electric prices are going to go when they have the monopoly for everything that moves! 🙄

      Nice!   It would be great if they had some kind of brake, so you don't end up on your neighbors YouTube video going down the driveway! 😆

      Last month I went searching online for a trailer jack with pneumatic tires. Instead I found the video below showing a relatively quick and easy upgrade to your existing jack:     It's worked pretty well. I definitely had to mess around with finding the right combination of spacers, washers, and locknut pressure that wouldn't bind up the wheels. However, it is a pretty sweet setup and allows me much better control. We live at the end of a half-alley. My garage faces the end so when I need to hook my boat up to the truck, I have to pull it out into my driveway and then swivel it 180 degrees to face towards the street. The handle is what really makes the difference and now the trailer jack wheels don't slide on the asphalt. Has anyone else done this conversion?

      I've got a pile of crawlers ready to go - a nice side benefit of all the rain in the metro lately.   At the very least, I hope that the remaining trappers are making some better money off of the higher prices. I would think that it would be a great way for local kids to make some cash. I can see why it wouldn't make for a great way to make a living as an adult.

      Went out yesterday with the sunshine. I did find crappies in the shallows on a darker stained lake with Temps at 58 degrees. They had no interest in my baits

      That's part of it.  Several recent years of drought have definitely played a role.   There's other factors too.  MN does not allow importation of live bait from other states either.  That really affects the amount of golden shiners available, most of which are not trapped here.  In other words, demand exceeds supply.   Lots of bait trappers and dealers have simply hung it up in recent years.  Its hard work for not much money.  The two nearest me are both done as of last October.  They both told me its just not worth it anymore.  One of them had been there for 45 years.   My advice would be to learn how to effectively fish with artificial lures more often.  I've slowly weened myself off the use of live bait nowadays.

      Think the Free crawlers in the back yard are going to take a hit this summer! 🤭

      Correction, rainbow minnows are at least 75 cents each, and leeches are $60 per pound. lol

      Their coming! Was poking around southern center mn last Friday and found about 20 on a hill side, all to small to pick yet.  Spots on the GPS! 🤗
