azhuntnut Report post Posted August 20, 2007 I got up north to check out some of my cams. One of them is a new Moultrie Cabelas 5.0. I set it to take video and stills. One of my other cameras had the rope pulled on it so the camera would only face the ground. I was surprised at the foot traffic around the camera. Can anybody tell me what the guy is doing with the yellow rope. I got the other guy on video also, but just as he was entering the trees. This camera is pretty sensetive. I also took some pics while scouting this weekend. Most of the smaller bulls I saw this weekend were rubbed off. The big boys are still hanging on to theres. Some of the smaller bulls were knocking there horns together. I watched them rub jack pines like they were rubber. I also found two big boys. Hopefully they will be around when the season hits.

He likes my new mixture. http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t189/gl...nt=MDGC0020.flv I got him on video twice and still. While checking out a small sip of water, this guy popped out of a crack. Anybody know what kind of snake? Saturday morning. 5x5 with some buddies. My first rub of the season. This area smelled like a cattle yard, but was filled with elk droppings.

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted August 20, 2007 My guess about the guy with the yellow rope is that it's not really yellow rope but a yellow measuring tape used in forestry or wildlife biology to lay out a transect or measure a line. You can see him walk over that large downed tree rather than around it. That's typical for someone laying out a transect or having to walk a compass bearing and measuring distance. here is a link to the type of tape I am talking about. http://www.forestry-suppliers.com/product_...age.asp?mi=4396 Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
