I set up my camera just before memorial weekend. I like to see the new fawns. I had an abundance of apples and they started dropping early. I set up the camera on my property which I only own seven acres but there is 100's of acres of woods and swamp behing me. Anyway, the deer went nuts over the apples. I had some reall bruisers coming in when there was apples on the ground for them.
When the scrapes started popping up around my three acre corn field I positioned the cam on the active scrape around the middle of October. I should have left it on there a little longer because they were still working it when I pulled it off. I got a lot of nice pics while I had it there.
After I used up all the apples I have been putting down a little corn each day to keep them coming. The bucks are starting to show up now trying to fatten up after a hard rut. The bucks I have been seeing are really worn down and skinny.
