Some Big Whities For Ya...

[Xenomorph]

Ha ha. I felt the same way. Skies parted, saw fresh snow on the hills and decided to go for one last road hunt of the moose season looking for an ellusive spike fork. No moose spotted but I did see a fat bear on the edge of a clear cut. Looked directly at him, registered his shape as definitely a bear, then dismissed the thought because bears don't belong out in that area in mid November. Glanced away, then looked back.. and watched him run away. Nice cinnamon phase too..

weird season!

Noooo, you let the sausage run away?!?

Noooo, you let the sausage run away?!?

Yup. Still kicking myself!

Whitetails are generally whimps when it comes to snow compared to mulies. Doesn't take much snow to get them moving downhill.

Ah ok makes sense thanks..

Once again Ourea, this post gets some great attention and some awesome info being passed around.

To everyone who has been adding pictures and info, thanks!!!

Been a real slow year for buck sightings....until Nov, then some of the boys have shown up......

Interesting to note that we have had warm weather up until today and although the boys have started to come out of the wood work, so to speak, they are just starting to get interested in the ladies, Now if I could only figure out the timing between the day time poses and me having to work, we might be showing some bone on the ground!!! Still gets the blood pumping!!!

Fun times in the next couple weeks!!

Nice share SS.
Decent tine length on the one buck for sure.
It's go time

Just rolled down off the hill after a cam sweep.
I have struggled with getting decent bucks on cam lately let alone some hammers.

I pulled a few cams on Wed (3 days ago) and shook my head in disappointment.
A few bucks here and there, small 4's and 5's.

Well it just WENT OFF as of yesterday.
Numerous cams have multiple bucks that all decided to show up yesterday.
A good volume of daytime pics where it was all nocturnal buck activity up until yesterday.

A set of cams 20km away from my primary area show the exact same spike in buck action on the same day.
They simply came out of the woodwork.

I find it incredibly interesting how the switch just goes "off".
I will bare down now checking cams daily and when one of the target bucks shows I will be all in.
Been a long wait.......

How many cams do you run?

How many cams do you run?

Upwards of 22 any given day.

I will post up some pics and videos of todays pull.

That's great to hear. Don't have a complex...multiple
set up like you, Ourea...but I'm hoping the same thing happens over this way. Got 3"
of fresh snow this morning and there was quite a bit of
sign on the drive out.
.....and guess what? It's November 20th tomorrow....just as predicted!

I looked to see if you ever posted a thread regarding your experience regarding trail cam quality, reliability, function, battery life, and bang for the buck. I'm sure a few of us, including myself, would appreciate your insight and experience. Maybe the "Ultimate Trail Cam Thread". Cheers

Upwards of 22 any given day.
