BizCT Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 So I checked my trail cam today. First time ever putting a trail cam out where I hunt in Putnam County (3N). I jumped 2 fawns on the way in, both still had spots. Trail cam was there from 7/15 - today (including that heat wave). Nobody stole it, so thats good lol. Anyway, I wasn't expecting to see much since It's not watching a food plot or anything like that. I have it setup watching a trail that I know deer use in the fall, but unsure about the summer. Got 10 pics. A few pics of a fawn (1 pic was 3 hours after I setup the cam), and 1 small buck (looks like a spike). Also, caught something else, my best guess is an opposum? Caught this animal on 4 separate days, each time it was moving quick and at night so the pics are blurry. I would think its either a raccoon or opposum, but since there is no distinct tail, im thinking opossum? I'm hoping with cooler temps to come, more pics will surface. Also the cam I am currently using can only take a pic every 15 seconds. Since the animals aren't eating or anything in the view of the camera I am probably missing out on a lot more pics. I just bought another trail cam that can take pics every 1 second. Should have that one setup by mid august. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deerpassion Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 try putting out some doe pee, or even buck urine on a tree in line with the cam.. i use bow hunters fatal obsession and it does a pretty good job stoppin long enough to get a solid pic while they stop to smell the roses... unfortunately the two pics i posted i ran out on that set, tough luck but at least i know he's there...

BizCT Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 Honestly, I dont want to introduce any new smells to the area. I never use scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
