Has any one else caught a black tail on a trail cam ,Ive caught two rear legs so far after 8 months of set ups.Im going hard for bt this year seen nothin but does so far though saw one ass end bouncing away at a distance might have been a buck.Nothing like treking through the jungle looking for that bt standin right beside you.Ive seen the most black tail were there is sollel on the ground

Try setting the cam up looking up or down the trail instead of across it.

I'll be going out tomorrow as well P.G. , good luck , but don't shoot my deer .
I was thinking this shit weather might be agood thing , I'm thinking of trying some of the areas closer to whistler as theyre abit higher up . Saw a doe next to the highway by shadow lake .
Well good luck everyone .

Better give us a 'detailed' description of 'your deer' so 'we' dont kill it!!

Hey 'Lap' , that sure is a cool little treasure ! Ive never found something like that.At least by the age of that buck he was sure to pass on genes through lots of does over the years!

Description of my deer , he's brown , fury and big , lives between whistler and pemby and looks delicious . You'll be sure to recognise him .
Have any luck out there today ? I saw some promising looking tracks and thats about all myself . Still a beautiful day to get out , I have no regrets .
Weird question , but has anyone ever caught a wiff of deer piss on the trail ? I bought some doe estrus last year , and I swear to god I think I caught a wiff of it twice today while I was following some nice , fresh looking tracks {21/2 inch aprox , about a 2 foot distance between or gait }.
I know the obvious answer is that I got the stuff on my gear , but my gears all new and I haven't had it since last year .
So is it likely a doe , or just my youthfull exuberance ?

Well today was a tough one, 15 kms yielded 3 does & 4 fawns! No bone worth thinking about yet this year, but at least I found the four legged buck lures!LOL

Try to put the cam on a trail that naturally funnels the deer past the sensor of your camera. Also, make sure that the cam isn't too high or low. Like others have said, point the camera along the trail, not across it. Also, make sure you remove leaves or branches from around the sensor, otherwise you could end up with hundreds of picks of the same leaf/twig because the wind swept leaf set the sensor off.
