Knowing Your Deer

[hitek7]

In the 12 years we have had our lease I can't think of one mature deer we have killed that we didn't have velvet pics of or pics from the past season.

When I upload pics/vids to a file I assign the buck name, date, and location in the name tag.

What program/app are you using to keep track of all your pics?

No program. I just use folders on my desktop. Nothing really fancy or complicated but it's easy to keep things in order. Each season gets a new folder.

I do the same. Each season has a folder, then sub folders in there for different farms, then different deer. I did learn to back them up lost years of pictures about 7 years ago.

That pretty much exactly how I do it, then back it all up on an external drive. I use excel when I want to graph out data to visualize patterns.

You did good but missed a few things...........

As the buck came into my Biologic kill plot, I was hanging in my set ready for the kill. He came in downwind but thanks to Ozonics, dead down wind, and Scent Loc, I was able to put a rage in the cage, and he didn't go 20.

…." We backed out and gave him until the next morning, and im glad we did because he died just out of sight. "

The other thread got me thinking about guys getting pics of certain bucks year after year, learning all about them, naming them, etc. I have a 416 acre lease in TN. It has everything a buck could want, especially thick, thick cover. There is very minimal hunting pressure and human intrusion. We rarely have bucks hang around longer than a couple weeks. Very rarely. A buck will show up on camera, get me excited, and disappear never to be seen again. Many times a mature buck will only get caught on camera once and he's gone forever. I've always found it interesting that other folks have bucks hang around for years. Maybe the deer on my lease are traveling deer, or maybe it's a difference in farm land vs. timber land.
