I have a chestnut oak tree that has always dropped very early, like middle of August yellow and brown acorns. I had picked up my camera to move on fresh sign, so I checked that tree and as I hoped, there was fresh and old popped hulls and acorns were raining down. There was old and fresh droppings too. Since season is not open yet I hung the camera like I was going to hunt the spot. The camera is pointed away from the food tree in the direction that I figured the deer would come from and I'd have about a 10yd recurve shot if I were hunting this evening. I have a tree with pegs already set up about 10yds to the left of this camera. I'd have had this buck in close range coming from down wind. Btw this is a south facing slope, the camera is facing due west into a bedding thicket and that's where the prevailing wind comes from. I'm new to the cameras and they've confirmed and taught me alot about what's out there. Anyway that's what I like about this pic.
