Re: Trail Cam Video: Buck with the Boomer Brow Tine

That is fresh cedar, Doug - like candy to these guys and a main staple food during the winter. Problem is though, they love it so much that much of it is browsed too high up the tree for them to eat. So, post rut and during December and January, when the temps are cold and snow deep, I will put a fr...

Trail Cam Video: Buck with the Boomer Brow Tine

Hello All, Antlers are set to fall any day now (I always pick up fresh sheds during the first week or two of January) and the antlers on this buck at the top of my list to find. He shed his left side on January 7th of this year, dropping it in front of my trail cam. Here's hoping for a repeat perfor...

Trail Cam Video: Buck Visits Scrape and Rubs Two Saplings (Ottawa, Nov. 19)

Hello All, Moved one of the cams on Friday to a new spot overlooking a fresh scrape. Less than an hour after hanging it, the buck I named 'One Side' stops by for a visit. Probably the best footage I've captured of him this season, giving a great look at his impressive head gear. Pretty cool to see h...

Trail Cam Video: Buck Works Over Pair of Mock Scrapes (Ottawa, Nov. 2)

Hello All,

The way a whitetail works a scrape, especially the enthusiasm and energy he puts into the licking branch, is always a fun behaviour to watch.
This new-to-the-area buck worked over a pair of mock scrapes on November 2nd.

Trail Cam Video: Buck Works Over a Mock Scrape (Oct. 29)

Hello All,

Whitetail activity has ramped up ten-fold in the last week, with bucks making fresh scrapes and rubs daily now.
This buck found my mock scrape early yesterday morning - and spent over four minutes working it over.

Hello All,

Swapped cards at the trail cam sites yesterday. Two of the regulars made nighttime visits, with Wide Guy showing signs of shedding his velvet. The two youngster bucks were last seen in mid-July.

Finally happened this year, when a buck I had been following, nicknamed 'One Side' dropped his left antler in front of my cam. Once in a lifetime captur...
