I still have trail cameras out but the last buck that I have with antlers was December 29. My cameras are equipped with external battery packs that I put together myself. These are Tactacams, so I'm able to receive pictures to my cellphone check batteries and memory remotely. I didn't go with solar panels because of the camera locations. I'm planning to add a couple more this year.
it's about over , hunting for bucks .

I've had a bunch of fun running these cameras . I'll probably get my camera out watching the den in the next couple days .

we have had a very mild winter . I'd guess the most snow I've had on the ground has been 6" . I'm under a winter watch yesterday until this morning , I doubt there is 2" on the ground . the other day we got probably 4 or 5 inches , heck it was gone the next day .
last week my camera got a raccoon ,and porcupines . I didn't realize porcupines would be out and about during a snow storm, that kind of surprised me . I also put a camera on the den . I need to change the batteries in the den camera , I didn't realize how low they were before I put it out .

Since late February seems like we’ve been averaging 6” every 3 days. 5-7” is expected tonight and into tomorrow , we just got 6.5” Thursday night. Global warming my butt

we went out and changed the den cam batteries yesterday . I did pull the chip on the heavy trail cam friday . while we were out yesterday I thought we are in the area we might as well swap chips again on the heavy trail again . I got a bobcat , must like the area.

it looks like rabbits , and porcupines are using the den , that's all I've got on the camera . the den sure has Sallys attention .
I got a bobcat again , and many porcupines . we seem to have more than our share of porcupines .
I put another camera out . I found a well used trail while I was messing around with the den , and decided to put a camera on it . got a couple deer , and a few decent gobblers .

I was thinking the same thing Jim. He looks pretty good for just coming out of hibernation.

Boy I can’t imagine 2 on the same path , anything is possible.
I have this feller heading back in the patch again.
I wish the critter will quit turning my camera.
