The Creekside Trail
Two hunting seasons ago I placed two cameras along a creek bottom bordered by a grown over field in a remote section of the Hoosier National Forest. I got busy over the fall and left them there for almost two months before I went to get them. I was pleasantly surprised to find pictures of several good bucks on the developed rolls of film.
Last year I went back to the creek bottom and found a scrape underneath a box elder tree. These are some of the pictures from that camera.
Though most of the buck pictures show nighttime movement I believe I will do some summertime scouting here and try to locate a good tree to put my climber in. The field is in a state of succession and is being taken over by small saplings, so I have to think the bucks will feel more and more secure about daytime movement along the creek bottom. The area should be worth a couple of hunts anyway and maybe I'll be able to come away with a doe for the freezer.
