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”

Kayaking and Hiking
October 14-16 The most interesting thing on my cameras were a large pack of wolves, so I added a few more cameras to try and get more shots of them. A main trail runs down this little valley and it’s crossed by other trails here so though it’s out in the open it could beContinue reading “Kayaking and Hiking”

September 16-18 This was the first check of this camera location, the camera watches a trail through a skunk cabbage patch.

This little buck probably broke his antler sparring while they are still soft. I moved this camera. This camera watches an intersection with lotsContinue reading “Hiking and Kayaking, August 29-30”
Kayaking and Hunting for Deer while checking Cameras
(Found one) This is my best spot in this area, I got over 1700 pictures from Late May to Aug. 21. It’s an intersection in some dense cover. This camera did pretty well, lots of different animals. This is a trail following a swampy creek that cuts through some muskegs. This is the only cameraContinue reading “Kayaking and Hunting for Deer while checking Cameras”
Checking Cameras and Looking for Deer
August 15-16 I called in this little buck by saying Maaa in the back of my throat. 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”
