@willssoda
Bill,
It must have been lacking something in it's diet or maybe some other factor. Definitely small.

Thanks for posting!

Shot buck on Green island in Prince of William Sound with .338 Win. Mag. I did hunt Michigan for 8 days. Was on 3 different stands for a total of 92 hours. Saw 2 shooter bucks (4 on a side Mecosta county) for a couple seconds each. Never got a shot at either one.

Well, Wisconsin gun and muzzleloaders season is done. I did not see the buck during that time. It was a slow season during that period. I think the rut start early than normal this year by the time Gun season open , buck were tired.? So I decide to post a photo that was on my trail camera. that I was after. These photo are the Northwood buck in the wolf country ! Now, I put my blaze orange clothing away, and put my snow camo out and do different kind of hunting.

I was hoping this will come along during the season. Don't know if he made it through the season. This photo was taken before Gun season start

Alaska Chris- Whoa !!! That a Big Lynx !!! I wonder How Big does it weigh ?? Here in the MIdwest, There is not many lynx in Wisconsin, I think there is more in Northern Minnesota and Upper Michigan. I do have a question to ask you. What kind of fox species live in Alaska?? Here in Wisconsin, it Red and Grey fox, Some say there is Silver but that for another story.

There are 2 types of fox in Alaska....Arctic Fox and Red Fox...Arctic Fox are white.....The red fox comes in different color phases, red, cross, black, and silver. A silver fox is just a red fox who has black fur with silver on the tips......Wolves comes in different color phases also like this black one.

Well,
Here's some of the honkers taken in the early season in Michigan. All came from the southern half of the lower peninsula. Lots of farmlands so they're well fed and it shows in their antler growth.

Because I can't get out anymore, most mornings I'll check a couple of cams for activity. One of my favorites is the one in Iowa. It will let you go back about 8 hours to scan for activity. Here's a link if interested:

http://www.thecrush.tv/deer-cams/live-deer-cam

Some screen shots from last night. The last one is a daylight view of the location:

I believe there's some kind of rule out there that you can't within a certain radius of a game feeder. I'd have to double check. The location is a regular farm not any kind of game ranch.

Not sure how, but I was able to access the camera inside the feeder frame. Was able to capture this image.

If you visit the Iowa cam with the link I provided, you might appreciate this mini-tutorial.

1 - Pause.png
This button will toggle the pause feature on/off during live video and previous (up to 8 hrs) video.

2 - Rewind 10 Sec.png
This button will rewind whatever video you're watching for 10 Seconds and resume play.

3 - Close Up Camera.png
There's a camera mounted to the frame of the feeder. If you select this feature, the video will stop, a brief commercial will play and the the close up video will begin to play.

4 - Volume Control.png
They actually have a microphone that plays any sounds that occur during the video.

5 - Live-Not Live.png
This will toggle you between the Live view and the recorded (Not Live) views. The Not Live view will also show the amount of time you've gone back from the Live view.

6 - Share Icon.png
I never used this one but I assume you can share a pic or video via social media or other venues.

7 - More Videos.png
I never used this one because I was more interested in the current videos.

8 - Full Screen Toggle.png
This should be self explanatory. To exit full screen, usually the escape key or F11 will return you to normal screen.

If you find this helpful, I'm glad. In any case, enjoy the site. I certainly do.

For what it's worth, they're dropping them in Iowa also.
