Set a camera here hoping salmon will swim this far up this stream, and I will catch bears fishing for them in a couple months. There is a well-used animal trail following the bank on the right side of the picture, and another trail crossing the creek by the big rock, so I should getContinue reading “Setting and Checking Cameras”

This spot is a funnel formed by a strip of cover through more open muskeg. This camera is now shooting videos.

A bunch of trails converge here from every direction. There is no obvious reason why all these trails come together here but it funnels the traffic and has been the best place I’ve found to catch the bucks butting heads in preparation for the rut.

I had a camera here a few years ago, until the tree I was using for the camera fell down during a storm. This is the first set of pictures taken since I decided to try this location again.

The first camera I checked wasn’t getting much action, so I moved it to a location nearby where some trails meet at a creek.Continue reading “Checking Cameras”

This is the last of the cameras I wasn’t able to check over the winter, and one of my best spots last year. When I checked it, I set the camera for video; can’t wait to see what I get!
