I recently got 2 spypoint cellular cameras on Amazon for $120 total. With it comes 100 photos per month free (they get sent to an app on your phone). However 100 photos can easily be taken in a few days. I upgraded my photo plan to 1000 photos per month, at the cost of $10 per camera, $20 total for the 2 cameras, paying monthly and then I will cancel plan by new years probably.

Video as well?
The plans are explained on their website but my plan says 1000 pics and only 5 videos per month. I’ve only used it for pics so I can’t really say much more about video details
Cameras were going crazy today. On quick review of stills, 4 separate bucks spent time in this clearing and the does were grouped up.
This bruiser is coming around during daylight hours now. Bigger that what I initially thought

A couple from the last 2 weeks or so. First one is this year's fawn trying to get one last snack out of its Momma. Momma jumped off and ran away.

Another 4 point:
And, of course, Big Boy:

Old broken antler back for a late-night/early morning snack too.
Date on the camera is wrong, but the time is correct. I refreshed the corn and reinserted the SD card about 20 minutes before these pics were taken during dusk.

I didn't even buy a license this year.
Still thinking about sitting in the stand - I don't need any meat in the freezer but with the drought there isn't much browse out there. Thinning down one or two might be enough to keep the 5 or six I know are back there good until spring.
Could also put out a bag of feed per week after the season closes

They'll need more than a bag a week. I put out three or four a week and even more in the winter cold. I lay off the feeding during the lush green growth of spring and summer round here, so the fawns learn what native foods to eat in the woods and fields, then increase the feed and frequency to boost them along in early fall to fatten them up for winter.
I put out corn, corn/oat mix, millet, feed wheat, pinto beans, mixed bird seed, black oil sunflower seed, apple and pear drops from a friend's trees, trace mineral salts, sorghum molasses, sorghum syrup and once in a while some peanut butter. Mind you not all of the above at once, but at different times. They get a good variety.

Same here with mineral blocks for the spring/summer to support milk production in the does and antler growth in the bucks. The minerals and salt help.

Ya, modern rifle or shotgun for me. These bucks can be easily called in with a grunt call during daylight hours. They tend to be pretty active in the late afternoons patrolling their areas.Your going to need to mount a flashlight to your bow.
I've called them right up to my chair before.

I am going to move this camera to my tree stand spot but here’s a healthy coyote just off the yard from yesterday
Rabbit should have ran sooner.......it got owned by the coyote.

Coyotes gotta eat too.
Yup....but their meals are going to be limited.
I quoted my own post........Oh No!!
![[laugh]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/012.gif "Laugh [laugh]")
Anyway.....this deer is a 16 point (possibly a 17 point if a ring will hang on one of them) asymmetrical rack. I let my good neighbor hunt here today and I placed him in a spot where I had gotten a deer in previous years. My neighbor was sitting in a chair in pretty much the open at the edge of an unmowed field for an hour and bagged this deer.
If I had to guess, it weighs over 220lbs field dressed.
It's hanging on my tractor bucket right now outside my back door.What makes it even more rewarding, this is his first deer. This buck was following a doe which he saw first, then waited a minute and the buck came into view.
A clean quartering shot to the left cheek of its face from the front and no exit wound.....with a 7mm Rem Mag at about 40 yards!!!! It was an instant kill. He said the thing dropped in its tracks and didn't even kick.
I heard the shot and said to myself "well........that didn't take long!" I called him on the radio and he said he got one, so I fired up the tractor and went down the trail and we hooked it up to the bucket and drove it to an area to gut it and hose it out.
Going to let it hang for a day or two then we'll butcher it.
