Really neat pictures Blodg. One really has to feel for the deer when the snow gets that deep and if the anti's had their way, the results would be horrendous. Thanks for sharing, I've yet to get 1" of snow at my house in mid PA.....

MQ1shooter, congrats on taking a doe this late in the season. I have been trying to take a doe since early December and have not been succesful. I normally do not hunt this late in the season and I am finding it is not easy. I made it 3 hours yesterday afternoon in 5 degree F. temperature and saw 20 different deer. Saw them in 3 different groups and they were all very cautious, with all those eyes it will be tough to get drawn. But it was also the first of a 3 day muzzleloader season here and I think that had them spooked (oh and I could have shot any of them with a muzzleloader, not my style:).

Flintfinger, the Leaf River digital does not get triggered by the falling snow, or blowing grass or branches for that matter. It has a heat sensor and must detect heat and motion before it goes off. It is the only one I have used so I don't know if cheaper models might be more easily false triggered.

Shootem up870, I am using a Leaf River Digital, I would guess it is set 30" to 32" off the ground.

dkeener, unfortunately I have not seen or got a pic of a buck since the end of November. I got some trail cam pics of a few decent bucks in November but just found out one of them was shot during gun season. In my area there are mostly small woodlots and the gun hunters drive the crap out of them and shoot all the young bucks so our doe ratio is fairly high. Luckily my property is not my main hunting area, I have another property to hunt in Southern Ohio that has a good number of mature deer. I can't wait to put a trail cam there next year but it is 2 1/2 hours away.
