Another Big Buck on Trailcam |

Lack of Respect

With the new day breaking, I walked the bank of the Pere Marquette, looking for my first honey hole of the morning. It was beautiful – the sun’s rays bouncing off the banks, bringing new life to the early spring forage - but, as I walked along, something on the trail ahead caught my eye. WTF? A beer can. And another beer can. I hate trash! It amazes me as to how little respect s...

First Hawaiian Island Adventure

For those of you that regularly follow Simply Outdoors' blog you know that I recently relocated to Hawaii. It has been a hectic and crazy summer to say the least, but I did finally get to experience my first "island edition" outdoor excursion recently. Words and pictures probably won't give the experience its due justice, but here it goes anyways. The day trip was planned to consist of a hike...

Another Mounted Buck for Justin

Our SimplyOutdoor Pro Staffer, Justin, had a great deer season last year. And if you need to be reminded as to how "great" it was, you can click here. But, even though all of us completely remember how great his season was, and because Justin is the complete jerk that he is, he likes to send pictures months after the season in order to continue to rub it in. The picture in this post is of ...

Primal Thoughts

The corn is shoulder high, farmers are harvesting their wheat crop already, tomorrow it is supposed to be ninety degrees, and yet all I can think about is fall. It’s always interesting to see what triggers the senses and summons that primal hunting urge within. The corn stalks glistening in the morning sun caught my eye this morning, as well as the morning sun’s reflection on the tractor ...

Role Reversal

After stumbling across this picture, I'm starting to get a little concerned. I know that bears inhabit many of the woods around us, and while their population may be small in my area of Michigan, if they are starting to get this smart I might need to be careful when scouting, hunting, or simply heading to my treestand. And, Mike, my fellow Michigan hunting blog friend and bear hunter, you and...

Another Big Buck on Trailcam

Posted By: Arthur on August 12, 2008 in Deer Cam Pictures, Hunting - Comments: 8 Comments »

My sister’s boyfriend, Justin, who shot this hog a few months back, and also shot this huge carp, hit the jackpot when he went to check his trailcam this weekend.

The problem we have right now is figuring out who’s buck is bigger-Justin’s buck in this post, or Jeff’s buck from a post a little while back. Apparently these food plots are really working. The only challenge now is getting these big boys to stay around come hunting season. It sure would be nice to have the kill shot of one these big ‘uns, right along side the trailcam shots.

I think I need to talk to my property owners again about a possible food plot next year. It seems I’m the only one without a monster on cam. I’m thinking a food plot might help me with that little problem.

All of us are on a role this year with the trailcam pictures. After being rookies last year, at this whole trailcam thing, it is sure nice to see deer this size on them this year. Of course, getting them on cam sure doesn’t guarantee a kill. I bet it will keep Jeff, the cousin’s from South Carolina, and Justin in their stands a litte longer this year though.

Those are some great pictures and should be some good motivation to stay in the stand just a little longer!

Yeah, it’s interesting the power of knowing what’s out there can do in holding a person down in their stand for just a bit longer!

We are new to the trail cams and food plots this year, and we are LOVIN them! It has deff changed my thoughts on how long to sit and what stand to be in. We have 1 realy nice buck on film so far and a lot of other critters too. I have been getting a big kick out of the cams.
