anybody set game cameras yet?

Just curious if anybody sets them early to get pics or video of calves.

Still waiting for the roads to clear of snow! Our area is still blocked, it will be soon though, I did get close to 200 the previous years, mostly cows & calves!

How did you get out?

I was on the untrapped side, so I turned around. If I would have been trapped I guess I could pull out my hammer and chisel!

Oh, I thought it blocked your path out. I got trapped like that once up grouse hunting. Used a shotgun and a box of 25 shells to split the log. Fun memories!

Looks like your in the right location with that Rub on the tree next to the road!!

Didn't notice the rub, good eye. I almost bet its a bison rub tho.
John I bet after you use up all your shells, the woods crawled with grouse!

Quite a few pics last month but things have been real quite last couple of Weeks. A few good sheds as well. I will try to post some pictures.

I set my cameras to video, so I'm gonna have to start a YouTube channel to post anything. Lots of cows, calf's, and rags splashing around.
Nice find on the sheds!

I've had one soaking since May 18th, going to pull it next weekend and I'm sure it will be close to full. Here's one from last summer in the same spot.

A guy from the camp next to us killed this 3pt in September, he was pretty happy to have a picture of it on the hoof as it was his first bow kill.

Mr. Trailcam muncher here took care of mine last week. I bought a bear box for it. I really hope I get to see an elk on this trail cam, I know they are in this drainage, but it would be an extremely rare pic.
