Well lets try this https://rumble.com/v4pofot-total-eclipse-of-the-deer.html

Well it was breezy so I tied some Marker tape to a stick to keep triggering the trailcam but it never took a single photo. My family who wasn't going to be home decided to gather at my house for the show just hours before the event so I set the GoPro up in my stand on time lapse and returned home to be with family. I'll upload that video to rumble soon to share here. It was quite cloudy for the entire eclipse so the time lapse on the landscape turned out to be a better focal point anyway.

I'm not looking to film the eclipse itself. I'm looking to film the shadows and effects in the field and surrounding area. There will be a million videos and pictures of the eclipse the next day already.

My wife will be driving home during the eclipse so I can do a time lapse with the dash cam also. But with her luck she'll get stuck in the tunnel because traffic is expected to be terrible

One of the things I'm looking forward to the eclipse is doing time lapses with my phone and GoPro on the field where I hunt. What I would really like to do though is a time lapse with my trail cam but that option is not there. I think it would be really cool because when it gets to a certain lack of light it goes to IR. I'm almost tempted to go out there and do some raking and trimming just to keep that camera going. I think if everybody else gets disappointed due to clouds and rain or something, the go-to document people will be watching are the time lapses. Does anybody have a time lapse option on their camera or am I going to have to hook up blade of phragmites on a metronome in front of my trail cam?

I set my notifications up and applied online on March the 1st for the antlerless tag. I tried first thing in the morning but you had to wait till 9:00 a.m. and it suddenly appeared as an option on their site

The neighbour in the same building dumps pails of seed for the birds. Add a bunch of walnut trees and the squirrels are over abundant here. Easy living for these foxes

Seems pretty clear at night. I prefer the video over picture though

Reveal takes some nice photos. Bought this from Erie Tracker

Still have antlers as if Feb 29.

Have a buddy who just bought this one and says it works fine. I haven't seen the results yet though https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0BKG286NJ?ref_=cm_sw_r_mwn_dp_44NWSWKHXNM1Z8T62DQD&language=en-CA

Bought my tag and entered the antlerless draw today. It opened at 9am. Seems like if I have the antlerless tag, big bucks walk right up to me but if I only have a buck tag I'm surrounded by does and fawns that won't leave. Well hopefully I'll get drawn this year but won't need it. If my kid draws the same it should be a quick season.

I told you about my first coyote ever this year but it came on the second shot despite aiming an identical shot to the first one. I recovered the kill shot arrow but not the miss until this weekend. The coyote did a complete backflip but at 305 fps and only being 15 yards away I couldn't believe he just matrixed the shot off and then returned 10 minutes later. I couldn't find the arrow and was beginning to think it had a strawberry blonde twin but I finally got answers this weekend. The arrow broke on launch. There was a fraction of the head left on the shaft and no bright green feathers between launch and impact. The broken piece likely landed near me while the rest propelled just shy of the animal into this hard buckthorn. So lucky I didn't get a piece in the eye.

I've sat on a stepladder in stands if this while hunting deer. This stuff is so noisy you don't have to worry about moving in it. It literally sounds like a deer is crashing through near you at the slightest breeze.

I've got one ready to hang in St Catharines. Should go up ASAP now. Woodies are known to start returning in the second half of February. They may not nest right away but they scope the boxes out and if they see you messing with it they likely won't return. The creeks are usually frozen right now so it's generally a good time.
