Cabin Fever

Congrats and way to stick with a tough tracking job!

I haven't seen a new rub in the past 3+ weeks. They are working one mock scrape that I made and they have opened up one of their own ~20 yards away from mine. That's all the buck sign that I've seen so far.

Noticed this big guy piled up off of Rt. 104 today! Saw glass and plastic car pieces in the road, glanced over my shoulder, and saw a white belly and big rack sticking up! Shame!

This 8pt is a frequent visitor to my mock scrape! Many videos of him working the scrape!

Dave, my problem is I can't make enough of it! I gotta plan ahead. Sometimes, I have to RUN out to the scrapes to empty the tank! Sometimes it's tough to shut down, as I need to budget, depending on how many scrapes I need to service! Other times I about have an accident trying to get out every last drop! LOL

I assumed he was the same buck that I have gotten several pics of in the past month. Upon closer examination, he's not. The buck that I have been getting pics of has a nub between his drivers side G4 and the tip of his main beam. The 10pt in the videos has a clean rack, no nub!

The scrape is 10 yards from one of my stands! Other than my mock scrapes, I only know of 1 other scrape that has been opened. It happens to be ~15 yards from this mock scrape on the video.I actually hunt in Wayne County, but live in Seneca County. As far as the deer lure that I put in my mock scrapes, I can't tell you. I'm kidding! Typically, its around lunch time when I freshen the scrapes. So the flavor of deer lure would be either diet pepsi or Maxwell House. Yep, I whiz in my scrapes! Always have, always will!

This mock scrape has been on fire since making it last week! I got 55 videos since Friday all from 5pm-8am. VERY surprised at all the activity considering the high winds and rain that we've had in the past 3 days! 4 different bucks (big 10, big 7, small 7, and a spike) and several does and fawns. I'll post other videos when I get a chance.

Beautiful!!

Looks like a good spot!

Congrats!

Very nice! He was sure working that overhanging branch!

That's great! Congrats!

Congrats!! I bet that made both of your days!!

Hey WesternNY! Glad you found the place!

5 Days before season opens and THIS is walking by one of my stands??? REALLY? Can't say anything, neighbors property. I assume it's his kid maybe having a paintball party while they were off from school on Columbus Day? Oh boy....

I "think" it is, but I'm not 100% certain. Sometimes when I look at the night time pics, the rack looks bigger. The pics were taken in the exact same spot. What do you think? http://huntingny.com/forums/topic/5859-nice-10pt/

Nope.

Nice one and moving during daylight hours also!

I don't remember if I posted these pics last year or not. Thought it was interesting, and with all the new members since last year, I thought I would share anyway. I got a pic of a piebald spike back in '06. In '07, I had the trailcam back in the exact same tree and got a couple more pics of the piebald and he was sporting a decent 8pt rack. Never saw him again or heard of anyone in the area seeing or taking him. Just goes to show that spikes grow up too! There's no denying, this is not the same buck.

Columbus Day off? Not a chance!!

8 F'er

Congrats! Being 8 1/2 years old, I would have thought it would have weighed a lot more.

Sorry for your loss.

These are things that have been different for me since the upgrade. 1. Log in - Before, I just clicked on the log in icon and the log in screen would open up. This doesn't work like that anymore. I need to click on the message box, then right click, select open, then the log in box appears to enter my info. Tried double clicking also, but it doesn't work. 2. Messages - Before, I just clicked on the PM box and the message box appeared. This doesn't work anymore. I need to click on the message icon, then right click, select open, then it'll open my PM's. 3.Attached Images - I can't view any attached images that were uploaded to the site. If photobucket or another host was used, I can see images OK. 4. Loading - It does take a while for the page to load, as compared to before. These issues aren't that big of a deal. I found ways to deal with #1&2, #3 I just can't see the images, and #4 just requires patience.
