Full Moon Best for Trail-Cam Photos?

2020-06-10T09:23:22-04:00August 22nd, 2013|BigDeer, Deer Management, Deer Science|5 Comments

Danny has been keeping us posted on a big 10-pointer roaming his hunting land. The latest: "Got over 500 pictures of deer this week on 2 cameras. The deer were very active. I got several more pics of the big 10. My wife decided to name him Spike. She thinks it’s funny for some reason. Ole’ Spike decided to make some daylight appearances. Hopefully he keeps that up. Sept 6th is our bow opener. Only 3 weeks! On a side note, I’m starting to notice a trend with my pictures. I’m actually getting more evening and morning pics the closer it gets to the full moon. And during the new moon I’m getting mostly night time pictures. This is the [...]

More Trail-Cam Bucks!

Love this chunky buck, look at the mass left side! From Nantucket MA. VA 8-pointer; the antler growth I’m seeing in the Old Dominion is impressive, it’s going to be a good year here. The last 2 bucks are on a farm I’ll be hunting in November. The split brow is cool, but he looks like a young buck.

Trail Cam Bucks!

More and more pictures are rolling in. Send any you get, they get us all fired up for hunting season. I’ll never reveal the location.—M.H. This is a nice Southside VA 10-pointer. Love our VA bucks! Louis got this awesome, incredibly sharp shot of a pair of shooters. Bob sent two. The doe and fawns are a beautiful work of nature. Bob named this buck “Crowbar” and hopes to get a crack at him soon.

Hunters: Chlorophyll For Scent Control?

2020-06-10T09:23:22-04:00August 13th, 2013|BigDeer, Deer Hunting, Deer Management, Deer Science|3 Comments

Chlorophyll pills are sometimes prescribed to people with extreme bad breath or body odor. Some people use chlorophyll for detoxification, which is in vogue with the hip crowd today. About 30 years ago hunters picked up on this, and started using chlorophyll pills in an effort to help eliminate human odor at the metabolic level. Hunters also chewed gum containing chlorophyll to cut down on breath odor. I wonder if the green tablets or gum really worked for hunter scent control? Probably not, because you don’t see it or hear about it much anymore. Did any of you ever try the pills or gum? I never did, it just seemed over the top to me. My scent control has always [...]

Giant Typical 10-Pointer is Back!

2020-06-10T09:23:22-04:00August 12th, 2013|BigDeer, Deer Management|15 Comments

Back in early July Danny sent this picture of a big 10-pointer that showed up on his hunting property. “Hopefully he hangs around for a few more months," Danny wrote. I said it will be to fun to track this buck and see if Danny gets a crack at him. Update from Danny: Mike, here is what the 10-point has turned into.  WOW! I snapped this photo with my phone from my picture viewer. Unfortunately all the pics I got of him last week were between 12:00 am and 5:15 am. I’m hoping he goes back to evening activity by the time our September bow opener comes around. This picture is 20 yards from one of my stands! Beautiful buck, the symmetry [...]
