Annandale Trail Camera 07/10/09


I made a quick trip out to Annandale to check my camera. It will be a couple weeks before I can make it out to Annandale to check it again. I am glad I made the trip. I had a deer run into the camera a night after my last visit and knock the camera sideways on its tree so the pictures aren't the best. This week I had two real nice bucks show up along with a couple smaller bucks. The big doe once again showed up almost every night along with the daily parade of coons. I received an extra treat this week as a black bear showed up in front of the camera. On my drive into the property I also saw a red fox and a hen turkey with her 4 poults.

Below are a couple pictures of the food plot. It continues to look better and better every week. It really popped up with the fertilizer and rain this past week. September can't come soon enough!

BS 155 TC Photos

About 3 weeks ago I picked up a Bushnell trail camera from a friend that never uses it. After reading the reviews about it I was a little nervous because they didn't have the greatest reviews, but it's better than nothing. I set it up on 6/27 at the BS 155 farm on a major trail leading to the bean field and overlooking an old mineral lick site.

With the arrival of our 2nd girl "Carlee Nichole DeLany" on 7/1/09 I hadn't been out to check the TC until this week.

I was finally able to sneak away to the farm the other day and was pleasantly suprised to see 150+ pictures on the TC. I think Pete and I will be in luck this fall. Check out the pictures below. They've still got some growing to do!!!!

Annandale Trail Photos 7/03/09

I drove out to the Annandale property this morning to fertilize my food plot and check my trail camera photos from the past week. As you can see below the Food plot is really coming in. The rye is really thick in some areas and there is more and more deer sign in the plot each time I visit. I also made a new fence crossing in the corner of the plot. The deer have used the spot in the past and this should help increase traffic to the area, at least that’s the plan.


Since I was in Annandale 6 days ago my camera had 86 new photo’s. Once again I had a bunch of coon photos. I posted one coon picture below that has a mother and at least 3 baby coons in one picture. I think the Hoyt is going to fill its quota of coons this fall! I also got my first buck picture of the year. Looks like a nice 2 ½ year old 8 pt. There is one big mature doe that continues to visit the area every day. She will make a nice management tag filler if she stays around. Along with a bunch of doe photos I got a few of a Doe and her fawn. Below are a few of my favorite pictures from the past week.
