Hello, I as a father am so proud of my Daughter Megan Hart, at an early age she has had a desire to be in the hunting woods. So I would take her with me hunting before she had a hunting licence just to see if she really wanted to be there. She did !!!! and as the years went by and she had finally become old enough to get her licence and hunt along side of me, I was so happy!!! Her 1st year out in the woods with a gun in her hands she showed me that she was listening to me all those years. I was in the blind with her that day and she had 4 bucks come to her in a line first one was a button buck, 2nd one was a 6 point and she allowed it to walk by, the 3rd one was an 8 point and when he got to the opening in the woods he looked straight up the hill at us with tail up, so even though there was another coming down the run I knew that it was about to go bad so I told her to take the shot and she did with a perfect heart shot !!! WOW !! I was so proud of my little girl !!! Then the following year she found out that Its not always so easy to get that nice buck and she ate her tags that year but I was even more proud of her for doing that rather than kill a small buck. Then on her 3rd year in the woods she was sitting by herself now and I had full confidence in her abilities as a hunter, she had been following me around in the woods for many years at this point. Well so far this year she has me beat and its almost over I still have not harvested my buck while she has yet another nice buck down, an ADK Mtn. 10 point WOW !!! again I am overwhelmed with happiness and am the proudest father for miles hahahahaha !!! I have truly raised my hunting partner for life !!! here is a pic of her harvest this year in the ADK Mtns.

Keith Kellar shot this buck in Wayne County. I had trail cam pictures of this buck in 2015. My cam was out all year to see if he made it through last year and I had nothing. So I decided not to hunt there that much because he wasn't there I hunted elsewhere. On November 11, 2016 the wind was cranking in the tree I was in so I decided to move to my hang on stand. At 3:45 I see this monster buck walking away and then all of the sudden a doe pops out between me and him. He walks with her and I thought he was 40 yards and I shot but he's only 30 and it goes right over his back. So he hops in a thicket and she is still hanging out. An hour goes by and now it's 4:40. She walks down to me and I'm taking a video and after a minute of that all of a sudden here he comes out of that thicket. I put my phone in my pocket and draw my bow 20 yards and I shoot. I grab my phone again to start videoing him. My shot was back a little so I decided to wait till my buddies show up. We start tracking and couldn't find him. Blood stopped just before this posted property. So I call and I have to show him the video in the morning and he said yeah go look for it. Waiting till one of my other friend shows up and we start tracking. We walk found some more fresh blood and there he is . We are just amazed at the size of this deer. I thank the man upstairs for this beautiful animal.

This was captured by my trail camera in October 2015. There are tumors easily seen and I wondered if anyone had any ideas about what the cause might be.

noticed a dead deer in field across from my house..put trail camera out and got this photo..taken near Jenskville Tioga Countyi

early august 2014 had him on camera for 2 weeks straight midday and at night in Lawtons, NY

I found this picture on my trail camera one evening and was confused as to what it was. I'm not quite sure what this is. Coyote, coy dog, or possible a wolf?

This coyote came by my trail camera which is located only fifteen yards from our yard. Makes us think twice when letting out our three labs.

This 10-pointer with a double brow tine was chowing down Christmas Eve at our corn crib. Wonder where he was hiding during the season?

We had rode outback to do some combine work and as we returned there was a pair of bobcats up behind the barn. The smaller of the two ran and was smaller and darker than this one. The picture was taken on November 3, 2013 about 4pm in Spencer, New York

We got this on our cuddeback capture camera back in 2011, underneath an apple tree that I had noticed had multiple rubs and scrapes around it.

Think its 11 points. Warsaw/Perry area. Last year was finding all kinds of scrapes. Definitely looked like a big boy was going through there and we got a tree cam in August and got this. Hope we see him in hunting season. Can't wait!!!

I've been watching this giant 8-point buck for the last 3 to 4 years and had many encounters with him. I almost got a shot in bow season a couple years ago but he wouldn't give me a shot. In this picture, he is in my food plot.

Another predator in Port Crane. I may have a problem. All are from the same cam within a few weeks.

I caught this big coyote on a trail camera that I left up after deer season. Picture was taken in Ellicottville, the huge size of this thing looks like a wolf, it has to be 70 or 80 pounds easy.

Bull moose pictue taken mid September 2012 at the Crofut Club 7 miles from Big Moose NY.

Fall 2012 Trail Cam located in Eastern Long Island. Surprise pose by a Flying Squirrel.

Corralled a Lost Deer with fishing boat swimming from what seemed like Cherry Island, toward shore in Chaumont Bay, NY. the deer kept going left and right and tiring out so we did what we could to help. Cherry Island is about 3 miles away from this photo.

This is a old buck I've had on my land for years and he made it through this past season too.

This guy never showed his face during archery, so we're all looking forward for the chance during gun season at our camp.

The only time this beast was seen in daylight, and we weren't in our stands

This big guy wasn't camera shy.  He came in several times a week, but always at 2 am  : /

This was the first shot of this big guy that I took 20 yards from my tree-stand.  Sadly, he never came through in daylight.

I found this rub 2 years ago.  Every deer in the area seems to use it.  Rubs like this one are used primarily for communication.  Most pics I've gotten at this rub have been during daylight hours. I have yet to shoot anything here but, I think I've found a goldmine.  Problem is it's two miles back into the Adirondack high peaks.

This is the buck I was after last season.  I saw him once, but got no shot.  I hope he wintered well.

This owl landed right in front of the trail camera with wings outspread.  Great Photo.  Thanks to my wife for buying this camera for me.

This is my first time ever using a trail camera. I am very excited to have this up over a soy bean field where we have been experiencing a high level activity of bucks this summer. We know of a couple 10s, at least five 8s, several 6s, 4s, and spikes and in between.  I went to Bass Pro Shops and spoke with a Moultrie Salesman who truly knew and understood his product because he sold myself and my buddy two Moultrie M-80s. This is within 24 hours of our first set up on Camera 1. Enjoy!
