Whats that saying a picture speaks a thousand words. Last weekend I was able to go and retrieve my stealth camera. I still need to learn more about them because there was only one additional photo on the camera since I had checked it a week before. But that one picture spoke a thousand words.

This was the one photo that was on there. I would love to come face to face with this buck. He's got a nice spread. So if you have any tips for me I would love them. I'm setting the camera up on a heavily used game trail and don't believe that this is the only buck walking in front. It could be the case because we discovered on opening morning that the bucks seemed to be hanging out 100 yards further down the hill. But with that said I can't explain the heavy traffic around the area. Anyway if you use a trail camera and know some tips I would love them. We are leaving tonight to go back up there and I hope to get my deer this weekend so I can get focused on Elk. This year Utah combined the Deer and Elk seasons and made them a month long. I love to hunt Elk it makes the hair on my neck stand on end. Next week I hope I'm posting a photo of me holding the head of this buck up.

Placing cameras can be tricky.  I would say the first thing would be to try and get rid of all the brush in front of it.  Brush like that tends to move in the wind and will take pics of nothing for you.  Second, I would place your camera facing uphill not down.  You can get a better lane for the trigger beam if the camera is pointed up or across the hill.  I like slightly uphill, it seems to get more pictures and if the animal has its head down it is easier to see what it is when it faces the camera.  Third, use an attractant to get the animal to stop and "pose" for you.  If you have a hard worked trail, add some Black Magic from Evolved Habitat 10 feet in front of your camera.  That should help….
