scrape cam

[mbucks27]

i found a scrape a few weeks ago and i decided to put some scent in it to see what kind of bucks would show up. I have been freshening it once a week since then and have gotten some good results. This is on Long island and i will be hunting Wed-Mon trying to get one of these bucks down before the end of the season. A lot of nighttime pics but its still good to know they are around the area.

I also got these pics during the daytime under my stand but i wasn't in it at the time .

you can actually see my stand in this picture in the big pine tree.

I guess if i don't get any of these bucks down this week i will have a lot of sheds to look for in a few weeks. Good luck to anybody that is still out hunting the island!!

Yea he has a huge body. My brother shot one of them yesterday afternoon. Ive been hunting all week in same stand and didnt see much. Put him in the stand and an 8 comes walking right in at 3:30 lol. Not a monster but he was happy.

Checked the cam yesterday and it seems the bucks are still checking the scrape. Maybe the 3rd rut has kicked in??????

Its amazing how many bucks are around and none of them have dropped any antlers yet.

Checked the camera on Friday and the bucks are still hitting the scrape. I cant believe they are still interested and its February already. Also had a ton of does and smaller bucks in the scrape as well.

Nice to see you still getting good movement,in some of these last pics it looks like afew of the bucks are in need of some food.or maby they just over exersized lol.

[mbucks27]

Yea there is a ton of does around but its long island lol. Dom your right some of these bucks do look skinny but i guess its from running around for the last few months fighting and chasing does. I'm just waiting for them to start dropping antlers so i can hopefully find a few. only got one pic so far of a buck with one side gone.

looks like quite the place to hunt! Nice deer, and next year should have some real bruisers crusing around

It will be interesting to see what that tall 8 point turns into this fall. Should be a super nice buck. Good luck shed hunting!
