Hunting was kind of slow and there wasn’t much activity during the last 4 days on the 5 cameras I checked so either rut is winding down early or there just weren’t any does in heat in this spot and most of the bucks were prowling elsewhere which seems more likely because the peak ofContinue reading “Looking for Deer”

Deer Hunting
After struggling to see any deer in October (did call in one big guy that won the encounter) November has been good. I’ve seen 9 bucks since the 1st. Sitting for an hour or more at a time (mainly until my butt is frozen or I’m running out of daylight) sometimes calling softly some timesContinue reading “Deer Hunting”
Hunting Deer and Checking Cameras
At the end of a long day of wandering the woods and muskegs looking for deer and checking trailcams I filled 1 of my 4 deer tags on a young buck. Left a trailcam overlooking the gut pile, hopefully a bear will show up instead of just a mob of ravens and eagles.

This was theContinue reading “Checking Cameras 8/1/22”

I like to call this way in places that get a lot of hunting pressure and the deer are used to the standard Alaska style deer calls. This spot was full of 10 foot tall salmon berry bushesContinue reading “Checking Cameras and Looking for Deer”
Checking Cameras and Looking for Deer
My first hunt of the year went pretty well, I saw a lot of deer including to decent bucks, but they both disappeared without offering me a decent shot, the season here lasts 4 months so no hurry. Set this camera to capture images of bear fishing for salmon, the pink run is just gettingContinue reading “Checking Cameras and Looking for Deer”
