He's back, had not seen him for more than two weeks. Until the rut starts you most likely will not see this big boy in the daylight. In four years I have seen him once in the day time and he was bugling like crazy.

Good eye Charlie ... it does doesn't it, must be some interbreeding going on in the Cascade Mountains of Washington, I thought that only happened in Oregon

Pulled these pictures this morning back in Shawnee National Forest behind my house. Looks like he's starting to shed.

How often are you guys checkn cameras now?

elkken · « **Reply #309 on:** August 20, 2014, 02:40:00 PM »

I check mine about every 2-3 weeks. When I first set them out I do not check them for at least three weeks. The more I check them the fewer pics I will get. I mostly have mine up for elk and they do not tolerate much activity to make them go away.

Hoyt · « **Reply #310 on:** August 20, 2014, 05:27:00 PM »

I just check mine when I'm in the area. I don't have but two or three out now and not in places I'm going to hunt very much anyway. They're in fairly close and these deer won't be coming through later when season comes in except after dark.

This buck here won't tolerate but one camera visit and he's gone till next July for the one series of pictures. This is the fourth yr. I've got the one series in the same spot.

I'm going to try seriously hard to find him this yr and hunt him..never hunted him previously.

We have 10 cams out, check them once a week and average 500 to 1500 picks per cam they are on mineral licks and well scouted trails leading into feed fields. That's a lot of picks to go through and I wouldn't want to wait any longer, we don't decent or use any special precautions they will smell you anyway and get used to you. Very rarely do we only get just one pick of certain deer then there gone, might take some time but they will come back. Flash cams never seem to bother them either as matter of fact they look more at the IR and seem to ignore the flash models at times.

Most of our deer here in eastern KS shed in the first 10 days of September, a few will go early and a few later but 75% or more will go in those 10 days. At least they have in the last 8 years we have been running cams and keeping records. Looking forward to seeing them shed but I will miss the velvet.

I love this thread ..... tell you what, though.... my hunting area does not have "critters" like that!

I'm going to respectfully disagree that the big ones don't care.....they do. I try not to put cameras in "kill" spots. It's like putting corn in the woods....yea, they like it, and they will eat it, but they know it ain't supposed to be there. Just my opinion.

I do agree, however, that them getting your scent is not totally bad. I'd rather a deer recognize it than determine it is completely foreign. Again, just my opinion.

Wow had to come back for another look.
Fella's thanks for sharing all those nice pictures.
With our Elk & Deer season starting on Sept. 6th it really starts the anticipation.

K.S.TRAPPER · « **Reply #316 on:** August 22, 2014, 04:28:00 PM »

Nice picks guys, kbetts that 3rd pick is a dandy buck hope you get a chance at him.

No were in my post did I say the big ones didn't care or little ones for that sorry if it sounded that way, and I under stand they can be different in other areas of the country. I am speaking of our deer in our area's and as big as B/C bucks that we have taken with our bows. We do not use our cameras to locate kill areas or hunt over bagged corn either. I will hunt over standing or cut corn fields and the trails leading to them in a heartbeat if you think that's cheating for some reason.

No signs of shedding on any of our bucks yet but it wont be long around the 1st. Here's a nice heavy new buck, not real wide but a cool looking deer.

My son has changed the name of this buck to "Lefty"
