Default No big bucks on trail camera.

I've had my camera out on a heavily used trail for over a month now and the only pictures i've got is of two little bucks and does. I check my camera every week or two and i have deer cane in front of it, and the little bucks and does like it and they keep coming back. I just can't get any big bucks in front of the camera. I know there is big ones around because my dad has seen them bush hogging and i've seen one. Any tips?

Seems to be a common problem for alot of this year. Hope it turns around for you soon.

Obviously there's something wrong with your cam. Take it back & get a cam that will have big bucks... lol. I'm kidding of course, but this summer has been terrible for me too, all does & fawns whereas last year I kept getting video after video of nice bucks. It'll change soon !

Let's hope so. I'm thinking about trying to move it to an area that i know deer use right beside heavy cover and a spring. Can't believe i forgot about putting it in front of a spring during the summer time. I might have to deal with poison ivy, snakes, ticks, and chiggers to get it set up but if i get a picture of the buck i'm looking for it'll be worth it.
