I was less than impressed when I pulled my trail camera card today and saw 10 pictures on the card (I take 2 pictures per trigger). I knew off the bat that 4 of the pictures would be of me, so the others could have been anything, but I was hoping it would be a deer.


There's a small swamp where I hunt that I always thought the deer might move through, but it's too small for them to live in. Two weeks ago when I was pulling my camera out of the woods I happened to catch two or three bucks in this swamp from 70 yards away and one looked pretty decent. I decided to put my camera where I thought I saw the deer walking and was able to catch this wide six pointer moving through during the early evening.

Today I moved the camera to the other end of the swamp along a trail I believe the deer are using to enter the swamp from a secluded bedding area. I'll find out next week if my hunch is right.
