On a frosty winter night, with an almost storm-like wind, I watched this doe that appeared at midnight from up in the stand for close to half an hour. At first only with the thermal camera, then, once my two light-tech lamps (Aputure MC Pro), synced together and at first barely glowing red, slowly and…

No photo or video was taken, because the task itself was quite enough for 3 people. And this task was “merely” moving from the tree stand 18m from the feeder to a spot 8m up in a beautiful old alder tree with a trunk a fathom thick, located 7m further away. It’s worth mentioning that…

Shortly after dark a fine boar came to visit the feeder. Or rather, -since the camera that’s been watching the feeder for half a year now hadn’t yet sent any footage of him- he wandered onto the feeder by mistake, Sadly, he didn’t linger long. He just peeked in. At the 12th second of the…

Since the most recent successful hunt — whose trace will no doubt linger at the site for a long time — this young boar came to this feeder for the first time. With the dwindling acorn crop under the oaks and the frosty nights, the game is nicely forced onto the regularly fed feeders. In…

Footage from a camera set to video mode the week before the hunt can be a serious source of inspiration for someone like me, a "soft city dweller" used to nights spent in a comfortable, soft, warm, down-quilted bed, to instead climb up a tree in a dark forest, 10m up, and spend 14-16 hours…

Two locations, two occupations.
Two locations, two occupations. In the upper photo, ( an old bowhunter’s feeder ) the pig found the corn hidden in a bucket-sized buried pit. That can keep it busy for hours. In the other photo, the soaked, clayey forest soil on the creek bank makes for a perfect wallow, drawing in the pig population.

The Spypoint Flex-S camera, deployed half a year ago and refilled every two months, is performing really well. To get an assessment as close to reality as possible, the week before the hunt I switch it over to short video recordings, which this time captured a visit from a regular badger guest.
