Best Bucks of 2019

Sitka Blacktail Bucks on Revillagigedo and Gravina Island in Southeast Alaska

Good Spot But…

I set this camera in December but when I checked it I found someone else’s camera near by so even though there was plenty of action I moved it.

The new spot I found for this camera

**This should be a good spot if the grass doesn’t grow to tall.**

Another Long Set

This camera has been really good for bucks, I have no idea why it’s better than the other cameras in this area for male deer.

Checking Cameras

Spent a couple of days wandering around the rainforest near Ketchikan checking and moving cameras.

Set a camera here. A variety of critters should show up, including the usual deer and black bear; plus otters, mink, beaver and more.

Security boxes with twisty ties help to prevent bears from damaging cameras. Cutting a small notch for the camera to sit in and packing the box with moss, leaves, or whatever is handy makes cameras hard for animals to move.

The gravel bar in the background is a popular place for animals to cross this creek. There is a good deal of traffic along this bank, so this setup should get a lot of action.

Set another camera here; this should be a good location, especially in the late summer and early fall when the creek is full of salmon.

Antlers are finally growing!

Got my first buck of the year who’s antlers have started growing! Trailcam photography is going to get more interesting now, finally.

Hopefully I have more than just this guy, I have 8 more SD cards from my last trip to the woods to go through.

Highlights from Another Camera

Moved this camera just to spread out the cameras in this area.

Highlights from another Camera

In 2014 I set a camera here, then took it down a couple weeks ago when I checked my cameras in this area. Now that the weather has improved and more daylight has been reaching this location, I will move several cameras around to explore new spots, which should keep camera trapping interesting.

A Typical Post

Most of my posts on this site will consist of the highlights from a recently checked camera. After I’ve accumulated all the pictures for a month from all of my cameras, I will condense that batch of pictures and post them as a gallery under the menu Alaska Trailcam by Date.
