Definitely need a HD video trail cam at that location!

I'm hoping to share some good scrape videos in the next upcoming weeks.

Man this is making me jealous that I cant see your pics, for some reason I can only see about half of the pics posted. Anyone have any ideas of why this is? I tried updating my browser, but that didnt work...

Looks to me like the one in the last 3 pics may be the same deer? One way or the other, nice buck(s).

Any updates on what happened later in the year at the community scrape? Did the action slow down or heat up? Any bucks come during the daylight to check it out?

The action fizzled out due to dumptrucks dumping and driving by all day everyday and bobcat/grading work going on only 80 yards from this spot. I have been bowhunting this property at least 3 times a week since just before halloween and have been playing the most rediculous game of cat and mouse with some of the bucks I have on camara. I have 3 camaras by 3 stands and monitor them as I can. I have been getting photos of them during my hunts but ALWAYS by the stands I am not in.....very frustrating to say the least. I am in area 601 and am bordered by neighborhoods that have people feeding them and it literally sucks all the deer(does) out of the area after crops go out.

One wierd thing is I have a decent amount of fighting pics from all camaras on this property and I couldnt rattle up a buck to save my life.

I did find out the property is in the works to be sold and will be townhouses in a year or two. I have been sitting in some of these stands for 18 years and its gonna suck taking them down for the last time.

I will post some pics off the cameras when I pull the cards. I have been checking the pics lately with a portable viewer.

Man that stinks. Hope you can connect before the season is over. Wonder if the bucks would hit the scrape during the day during the rut if all the construction wasn't going on? Good luck!!

Sorry to hear that - such great excitement early on and then to have that happen! Why couldn't they start working next spring right? You've still got plenty of time though... the 2nd half of November is a great time to take a bruiser. Post up some pics for sure. Now that gun season is over, I'll be checking my cam again and hopefully post up some video as well.

Keep at it Jeff, the cat usually wins that game :-)

Do you think it's a done deal that the townhouses will take over the whole area? The reason I ask is because although it won't be a solid chunk of woods, there may still be some huntable areas left over that you could continue to use. You might be able to hear conversations from people on their deck or smell the bacon cooking in the morning but I bet the deer would still be there. Just a thought.... hard to have to give up a spot you've hunted for so long.

I have the luxury of t-camming a community scrape every year, same fighting and acting silly, in 3 years there's 21 different bucks at the same scrape location, sillyer yet is I've had my property for sale the entire time, I'm about ready to yank the sign and say forget that noise.

      Quick update: Lucky 7 now has rainbows, fatheads, crappie and light pike in stock. If I remember correctly, scoop of rainbows was $8.99.  Stopped at L&M in Virginia. Rainbows $6.99, fatheads and crappie minnows (scoop) $3.99. I was billed $6.99 dozen for rainbows, but was given a healthy scoop!

      I have had the same old Strikemaster augers for years, take care of them and they will last a long time.   I think E-augers are nice for around home lakes or at the cabin. The thing that was a eye opener to me was being in D-Rock in New Brighton getting new blades and there were two guys that just got back from a week in Canada on a big ice fishing trip and both very pissed off at their e-augers dying! They were both buying new gas augers.

      On the south end...   Things are shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener which takes place Saturday, May 11th.  Recent rain has brought up the water levels, which were low.  The walleyes and saugers are in very good shape across the south shore.  Expectations are high. The goto presentation this weekend will be a jig and frozen emerald shiner or other kind of minnow.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.     Hook the shiner through the mouth and out the gill.  Push the minnow all the way up to the jig head and hook the minnow as far back as possible.  This will give you a better hooking percentage.     Jig sizes and colors?  This is stained water so you can get away with a big heavier jig, which is nice for those who don't fish a lot.  It enables them to have more control and feel the bottom.  A quarter ounce jig is a good size for starters.     In stained water, gold, glow white, glow red, pink, orange and chartreuse, or a combo of those colors, are great places to start.   The limit of walleyes and saugers is a combined limit of six fish, up to four of the six can be walleyes.  All walleyes between 19.5 - 28.0 inches must be released.  One fish over 28.0 inches can be kept.  The possession limit in MN is one daily limit of fish. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, there will be some good pike caught this weekend.  The pike season on LOW is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one fish allowed more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. On the Rainy River...  Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River has been excellent.  The catch and release season is May 8 - 15.  The keep season starts up again July 1st. FYI, there will be some nice walleyes in the Rainy River for the fishing opener.  Lots of sturgeon anglers are reporting big walleyes being caught on sturgeon rigs! Up at the NW Angle...  Angle resorts are ready to roll for the opener.  As many of you know, this is the area of LOW where the islands begin.  Lots of structure.     Go to spots for walleyes, neck down areas, shoreline breaks, points and bays which will have warmer water.  In true NW Angle form, be ready for a mixed bag of fish.  In addition to walleyes and saugers, pike, jumbo perch, crappies, and even a few smallies and muskies will be caught.   Again, the goto presentation will be a jig and minnow. Slow trolling a crankbait will also produce fish if need be.

      Totally disagree Gim. I have a gas Jiffy legend auger. Never issues. Take a little time to care for it before putting it away and good to go. Sincei started using non oxygen gas, startron and seafood in never have issues with my 2 strokes.   seafood???   I'd try seafoam!!!   🤣

      Wow, 600 bucks for a battery powered lawn mower?  Guess I didn't realize they costed that much.   I assume most people now are using battery augers in the winter.  I remember when they first came out everyone thought they were a joke.  Things sure have changed on that front.  I hardly see anyone using a gas auger anymore.   The selling point, at least for me, would be to avoid having to do any engine maintenance.  Small 2 stroke motors are a pain in the rear to maintain, and unreliable at best.

      I'll bet she's better at it!!!!

      That thing should blow better then Stormy Daniels!  🤣🤣
