This site is about running trail cameras in Southeast Alaska and other outdoor activities.
Alaska’s 5 month long deer season opens August 1, The best way to find them is to climb up above the tree line where the best food is out in the open, but I choose to hunt for them down low where the best food is the jungle to save my old knees from the stress of carrying heavy loads down the steep slippery sides of our mountains (my knees are in good condition for 60, and I want to get as many hunting seasons as possible out of them).
Set up 5 trailcams, these were all spots I’ve used before and I left the security boxes in place so by setting up cameras what I mean is I dropped off 5 fresh cameras
This camera took a little over a 1000 pictures before the batteries died. I have 4 more cameras in remote areas that I haven’t checked since January or earlier
This camera is set to watch an intersection of a main trail running along the base of a ridge and a trail heading up the ridge.
This camera is monitoring a confusion of trails at the base of a ridge.
This one is watching a trail that runs through the brush on the edge of a muskeg
This camera an intersection of two main trails in some timber between two muskegs. The secong trail crosses the trail the camera is looking down in front of the big cedar on the left.
Spent a week with my brother fishing for steelhead. We didn’t get our normal heavy rain which made the fishing tough but the hiking and camping more enjoyable. We landed 9 and lost a few more.
