Jeff and I headed out to one of the properties we can hunt again last Sunday. We needed to finalize some treestand issues, and plus we wanted to check the trailcam again. I was chomping at the bit to check it, after what we found on it a week ago.
Unfortunately, Mr. Big didn’t make a return visit, but we did catch a decent little buck on camera. And if any of you are keeping score, there have only been two pictures – in the entire three weeks that the cam has been out there – that did not have a buck in them.
We decided to leave our stands where they are for now, and we’ll play it by ear as the season progresses. We also moved the camera closer to where Jeff’s main stand on the property is, so hopefully that produces some good trailcam pictures as well.
In a related story, one of Jeff’s friends – who hunts a property near Jeff’s house – was out scoping some fields in the area a few weeks ago, and captured some footage of a few nice bucks. The video quality isn’t the greatest, but trust me you wont need any better footage to see exactly how big these deer are. For those of you who don’t want to watch the whole video, skip ahead to about the 2 minute mark – that is where the action really starts.
The season is only a few weeks away, and Jeff and I will have to make the decision that every hunter dreams of: which big buck property should we hunt tonight?

I love driving around and seeing big bucks in the fields. When its close to a spot I hunt, it gets even better. All these great pictures and videos make me want to get out and do a little scouting myself. I’ll have to make some time to do so.
I can definitely tell that hunting season is almost here… on the blogs, in my house, at the stores… it’s just like Christmas morning – so much anticipation!
Nice video! Best of luck to you guys as you kick off your season.
