Title: Otto's 2012 Trail Cam Pics
Post by: Otto on Nov 06, 2012, 09:29:28 PM
After getting bit by the trail cam bug last year, I have been on the lookout for cameras on sale or closeout.  I picked up 4 cameras since last fall, 2 were given to me by a friend that reps one of the companies.  A good friend to have!  I set them out in early October, later than I wanted to, and finally had a chance to check them today.  One is not firing, got to be my setup or something, I'll pull that one and test it.  One was pointed to the sky, but I did get a picture of a flock of geese.  The other three produced some decent shots, but no clear color closeups like last year.  One camera had several pictures of turkeys, deer and an owl.  Good place to sit anytime of the year.

This guy has an interesting rack and seems to be around quite a bit, at least in the nighttime.

It's always nice to get good shots, but this is very upsetting......I have no idea who this is, and the camera is in the middle of the property, over 100 acres.

Great pics. It's very aggravating to see the trespassers. Now you've got the camera bug and there's no cure.

This is not a trail cam pic, but taken on my phone.  I was walking along and noticed him peeking out of a hole a few feet away from me.  Stayed still long enough for me to get my cell phone out and snap two photos.  It's an ermine, which I had no idea were in Central New York.

No, the camera must have moved after I set it.  I had over 500 pictures of clouds and birds, but the flock of geese were pretty cool and when I posted it, it was. (and is) goose season.

End of shotgun, still a goose egg.  Oh well, 10 days of ML and I have at least three scheduled for hunting.    My buddy got a doe last night , I am very happy for him, but I need to get some blood on my knife!

Well, not good for ice fishing this weekend, so my outdoor adventure was for grouse.  We had a beautiful day in the southern Adirondacks with three flushes, but no birds down.  A little more snow than I would have thought, but my legs appreciated the workout and so did Buddy.

I love my Brit J, He is a wonderfull family dog without a mean bone in his body , and a tireless worker in the field . My wife and I are looking into another dog and I think we settled on a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever .

or they just go and flush them up , Never seen it done  ;D

The way I do it is to keep the dog on point and slowly walk in with gun ready for the bird to flush.  In field trials, a fully trained pointer will remain rock solid on point during and after the shot. (called "steady to wing and shot")  If you hit the bird, you can then "release" the dog with a command (like "bird down, fetch).  If you miss, you release the dog with a different command ("no bird - hunt em up") and the dog goes back to his search. 

Sounds wonderful doesn't it?  Buddy only has Junior hunter status, and I am not a field trial guy.  I am happy when he finds birds and holds steady while I haul myself over there.  I am also happy when he finds dead birds, even if he does not retrieve them to hand.  He usually lays down next to the dead bird and waits for me to come take it.  As soon as I pick it up, he is off running again.   He is really good at those two things and I am happy with that.  I can only imagine his opinion of my shooting abilities!

I have had 3 Brits, great dogs...! ;D  And I have seen Mookies and Otto's dogs both in person...actually very similar dogs...mine is a spoiled brat that is tormented by a 6 and 8 year old little girls...my poor dog is all but ruined... ;D

Their nose instincts are so strong, I don't think even 6 and 8 year old girls could ruin them.   :D
My first  Brit, Otto, grew up with my girls who were that age at that time, and he was a champ in the field.  That where I picked up my screenname, to honor Otto.
