Your not doing anything wrong. In NY its much much harder even on great ground to pattern deer since we have such widespread terrain. Unlike out west where the ground is thousands of acres of crops with small woodlots which the deer are forced to use as cover making them easy to pattern or pinpoint, we are almost the opposite in NY for the most part nad of course there are exceptions. Deer in NY don't necessarily have to have the exact same travel pattern day to day which makes it harder to pinpoint them. More than anything the cams should be used as a good tool to guage the size/age class of deer on your property. Your never going to get every deer and probably not even 30% of the deer (at least mature ones) on a property on a camera unless you are running tons of them which could work adversly if you are not sensible about it. I would recommend if you are not getting new deer, lots of deer, or good buck pics move the cam around a bit. Remember it's not always in fact it seldom is the most used trail that the mature bucks will travel so try some new locations. Another trick is to toss some scent in front of the cam. I don't get action during the season with scents while hunting but I have had great success with scent on front of hte cams. Just don't get hung up on times deer travel, you got the pics when they were there but that doesn't mean they were 50 yards away during the daylight hours.

Excellent good looking bucks, another year and bam you got some slammers

LOL I think it may just be

Nice long main beams on that ol boy

very nice buck good luck

The number one stupid things that can be bought and I don't care if I offend anyone that might have bought some has to be deer droppings that are not even real droppings. Has to be all time most dumbarse thing anyone has sold/bought

Nice looking buck, good luck this fall

Very cool, nice looking 8 too

Ahh I don't see the frist post in regards, looks like there is is is is is a echo echo echo echo!

Nice pics I would say that last guy is in the mid 120's for sure, great potential would be a stud in another year

Um, not sure if you were aware but trees do not grow up ;D They grow from the top, they grow out meaning they have a growth ring year to year making them bigger around but nothing you attached to the tree will be any higher than it was 50 years before. Haven't you ever seen a wire fence going through a tree?

Nice pics for sure to bad you haven't seen him lately

That boy is a PIG

Awesome always gerat to see the rewards of effort put in

Nice buck man, love the character!

That's OK I'm good I think geno has it covered just fine I'm just enjoying the pics.

Nice now you can post like mad. yah your buck was a bonafide beast when it came to mass that is for sure

Man that buck a stud, that's the Broome County buck eh?

Generally the Rochester area but I have ground in Nunda, Wayland and Wheeler down in Steuben Co that I hunt as well

Here are the bucks I took last year Crazy 8 5 1/2 yr old Mr. 8 late season 5 1/2 yr old

That just made me laugh my arse off out loud because I can picture him on his 110 honda with bruce jenner shorts and Chips sunglasses....

Ha that is exactly what I was thinking, some pretty retro neighbors you got there FE

better move your cams now cause after he talkes to them they are as good as gone

Awesome pics, that G3 is redunkulous

A little good ribbing is what the season is all about I look forward to seeing some updated pics of Mr. Big! I caution you as a mature buck hunter once you know you have a great buck in the area try to overcome the urge to constantly scout him. Just make the ocassional trip becuase believe me they notice your presence whether its after hours scent checks around a field or by following the lead of other deer that pegged you during scouting. Many guys make the mistake of over scouting ground when the big deer are there without a doubt and then they wonder why they never see them during the season. Good luck Geno I hope we see some hard horn pics in the fall.
