Brought in a camera for the summer and this young lady hit my camera for about 9 pictures. I love when I get good pictures! No worries, I have a plan to administer a sleeping pill!

Brought in our cameras before the real heat arrives and this doe made a nice pic!

I also have cameras down south and although I set up way out of the way I still use the python cables so that I at least get the data recovered. Up to this point after several years I have had people get near the cameras and they never detected it. If they did they did not mess with the locked cameras.

Brought the cameras home due to high heat expected in May. Cant wait till August Got these cats on a remote water hole, Most deer were small in size in this set up!

In my experience, I have found Primos to be well operating units in the ultra versions but the best feature is they have holes for cables to be run through it which means you can buy a python cable lock. and its less weight to carry around.

My camera at a spot that almost always has water, This buck was smelling for water after seeing the video portion!

My son sits at 90 Pounds with a small frame and he shoots my browning 3006 with a muzzle break with no problems. This bullet can go fromm 55 grain for javelina and only needs 150 grain for elk plus the shells are not hard to find in most stores. The scope really helps him get out and knock down the whitetail when he has too also. I am a fan for a 243 but for long distance the 3006 has the advantage.

A young one but I was not not complaining during the pack out! A big thank you to other hunters who helped us out when my brass split after the shot and left 3/4 of the brass in the chamber. The cow was hurt and I let it walk as I had no choice. I returned to the truck to attempt to free the shell in the chamber when two gentlemen (Gale and Glen) from Tucson with their grandson brady came along and offered an extra rifle they had and we accepted. We returned to the area and 100 yards into the burned forest I spotted the cow and she was put down for good. Hunters are always ready to help and that is good for anyone to know if they get into a situation! My 12 year old will never forget the bulls bugling and all the action for one morning. Life is good!

Talking to a cattleman he stated the Deer body was too big to not have water and the moisture in grazing was not enough being that deer are cud chewers. Over the years I have found many tiny seeps and deer can smell them out when needed. Deer find the water that is available when it rains this is what determines how far a deer will travel for water. On four legs a mile means 5 minutes of walking!

Trying not to sound like the dummy, Who is "Omaha" ?

Im using these products for taking pictures of deer because after Sept they will not pay attention to the mineral licks. I believe the writing on the new law says "For the taking of game" Like if they would set a stand on a salt block like Ive seen up north on elk. At least that is how I have read the verbage!

Start your salt in the spring when they are dropping their horns with some Black Magic or something with scent and they will find it. Set your cameras up when your ready and replenish as you need to, the more cover the better and not at water but nearby or near a high use area just off the trail.

BP dispatch in Nogales is 520-761-2567, Cell signals are getting better in the area Even though we are packing the extra weight of guns and ammo we still call in our intentions to go overnight to BP Dispatch before we go in backpacking so that they dont come investigating us. They are very good about taking the information.

It is nice just talking with Jesse, Let alone his desire to help a person out. Store is on the other side of town but I make the trip due to the service! It is appreciated!

Everyone I have ever seen bring horses into the mountain areas, never seemed to return after a go at it. Although that goes for some places and not for others. Mule deer hunters hunt the lower areas and seem to cover some good ground. Ive seen hunters trailer their horses in a bit then tether them in the rest of the way but I rarely see them in the rough stuff. Once I saw hunters riding mules way back in but again I never saw them again. I let my eyes do the walking and with the right pack plus gutless method, it is not hard to get a deer out

I was taught to gut and carry a buck and always from remote locations, but I have transformed to the gutless method which allows the meat to cool immediately. I have the necessary canvas to keep the meat clean while I work and then transport the meat in game bags in my pack secure and balanced. "In light and out heavy" Once in camp I verify the meat is clean and place it in large 20 gallon Ziploc bags so the meat does not get wet while keeping ice in the ice chest with the meat. once home the meat can stay in the fridge until I am ready to package the meat all the while no blood or water that can promote bacteria. I love that I keep my hands somewhat clean my during field preparation with pigs, elk, or deer.

Nice taxidermy work, I love the hard turn mounts

Took advantage of somewhat cooler weather and brought cameras home for the summer. Salt was replenished and now I have to wait for the August to start all over again. I have a primos I35, Moultrie I35 and a Ultra i35, All worked very well. Having the primos cable holes make those my favorite. No security box needed!

Almost reminds me of the "Browning" Buck logo

Caught two bucks fighting over a small ice puddle but video file was too big. My camera was set for 5 second video on a Moultrie I35, wishing now I had it set for longer! Here is the picture of the start of the fight along with another pic

Yeah my original post tried to put in a video but the file was too big

I like to use large capacity cards like 8 GB so if I have alot of vegetation I still have room for the good pictures. I have gotten as much as 10,000 pictures due to wind, Bugs, Birds, Spider webs and even my own strap flapping in the wind, it is a live and learn situation. Saddles always have high winds and you need to take in mind the range of your motion sensor along with the range of a night flash or infra red light. I have also made the mistake of putting a camera too high in a tree on a smaller branch and when the tree moves or sways, motion is detected. Practice makes perfect but the perfect tree is not always available

The rut is here

I like the buck, But the "HAT" caught my attention also! It was a good day!

I got this picture thanks to the primos cam ability to take a picture every 15 seconds, My moultrie would have missed it because it takes a picture every minute and a smaller buck was in front of this one. My question is how wide is the hindside of a whitetail. Reason is to gauge how wide this buck is? His ears are flapped back so its hard to use them as a guage
