Game Camera Potpourri
Since my last post with game camera photos, I have moved the cameras a couple of times and I have captured a lot of animal photos.
The first area is in a hollow in Drews Creek. I was there ginsenging and came up on an area that looked as if it had been ravaged by wild turkey. You can tell where turkey have been by the large areas of ground where the leaves have been moved or disturbed. I decided to hang a camera in the area to confirm the presence of turkey.
I captured quite a few photos of turkey and even got a shot of another person ginsenging.
The next place I moved the camera to is by a deer feeder behind my friend Mountainsavers house. When the sun goes down he has a veritable zoo of animals snacking on the corn he provides for them.
In the photos you can barely see the feeder hanging there but this next photo gives a good indication of where the feed outlet is on the feeder.
And finally, my favorite out of this bunch. Deer are normally gentle creatures so needless to say I was a little shocked to see this doe showing her ass.
Great photos! I’m still trying to find a used game camera for a decent price. I hate to buy a new one for fear of someone stealing it.
I have had several deer stands stolen, even though they were chained and locked to the tree. People must assume that since it is left in the woods, it’s free for the taking.
Unfortunately Bucky I know exactly what you mean. I started the game camera hobby with two cameras. I have been relieved of one of them. I thought it was far enough off the beaten path not to be discovered. That was an expensive mistake.
Two things I have a low tolerance for, thieves and liars. Personally I would never mess with another person’s stuff regardless of where I found it.
I’ve had treestands stolen from me even though they were hooked to the tree with a heavy chain and a padlock.
I came to the conclusion a long time ago that a lock does nothing but keep an honest man honest. A thief will find a way.
