A Typical Camera Set

Here's a typical camera set I do. This one is deep in the thick stuff. I had to cut a path in. 99 percent of my sets are like this. Where the M80XT was stolen was not a typical set for me. I should have known better. If a thief wanted this camera, he would have to walk in a long way to rip it off.

Nice setup, Lokks nice and thick in there. Good spot for deer. Had a hard time finding the cam to start with. or at least I hope I found the cam

I was going to put the cam on the middle tree but decided to put it on the right hand tree. I really doubt a thief will be way back in that thick stuff. I've had cams in there before and never had a human on them.

There are dirt trails all around the cam. The cam is set up looking over an intersection of three trails. I should have good results.

Looks great!! How long do you usually wait to check these setups?

I usually wait for a week during the rut but this time of the year I like to leave a camera for at least a month since there is not much activity and no antlers to look at.

Here's an old bruiser taken with my Covert Black 60 in the same general area. I moved the site about 75 yards further in to prevent theft.

That's a nice looking buck Nan. Is he average or above average size for there on the Island?

That's a jumbo buck for here. Tiny if he were in your neck of the woods.

I know about marking the way in with a cut path but I'm getting too old to stoop down under the thick brush for .25 miles to get to the cam. I'm pretty confident about this spot being knuckle-dragger and mouth-breather free. I did a quick recon of the area and did not find any pot farms. I find tons of them when I'm looking to set up my cameras.

real nice buck picture nan!
