Homebrew pics from Central Michigan

[michiganbowbender]

Pretty new to this site and thought as a way of introducing myself I would post up a few pics from this past summer/fall from a couple trail cams. Hope you don't mind. I have more if you like them. don

That is some great Pic and some nice animals also (Can we say up close and personal )

What camera do you use ?

 

[michiganbowbender]

It's one I had made for me by a gentleman in Tennessee. I didn't want to tackle building a homebrew for my first one. It is a DSCP41 Sony. Heres the link Ron. Hope nobody minds. http://www.gotchatrailcams.com/

Heres a few more I really like.

Sure are some nice pics.

Thanks Trapcat. I just got into trail cams last summer and it's just like Christmas every time I check them. It's more fun than an old guy like me should be allowed to have.

Not sure how young that buck actually is. He has quite a sway in his belly and doesn't have that sleek doe like look to him. I'm guessing him at 3 1/2 when the pic was taken, Only pic I got of him, but didn't hear of anyone taking him either. I can only hope.
The squirrel was about about 15 inches off the ground when the camera triggered, and even though it has a wide angle lens and fast trigger time, I can't imagine getting a falling pic although there was an overhanging limb above.I'll never be able to understand it. This is the next pic I got of him.

Thank you JD. West central Isabella county.I called a bobcat in about 5 years ago while turkey hunting the same area, and saw another
that same time week while driving a couple of miles north of there. Without a trailcam I never would have known this cat was around. Lucky to get his picture, very nocturnal ,secretive animals usually.

Cool. Two years ago there were at least 3 that hung around the Sheridan area of Montcalm county. I've not seen one in Isabella yet, but just a matter of time I believe.

Hunting has changed over the years and owners have become very protective of their properties. Lots of places I use to hunt are no longer available for one reason or another, thru no fault of mine. I guess it's just the nature of the beast. I take nothing for granted anymore as far as hunting privledges go. My creedo now. IF YOU DON'T OWN IT, EVENTUALLY YOU WILL LOSE IT. Sad but true.

I'll be happy to post up more pics from time to time. don
