I've got a small grove of Persimmon trees that I've got a stand over right next to a watershed. The persimmons were starting to drop last week and I noticed the cows hitting them hard, so I put a camera on them to see what I've been missing. Last fall there were beavers in the pond that had exhausted all forms of food except for the hardwoods. Around deer season last year, they started munching on my Persimmon trees. I taped some metal stove pipe flashing and chicken wire around the tree bases and it saved them, luckily.
This is also sort of a mini-camera review. This summer I purchased a Bushnell Trophy cam to test out. I've had terrible experiences with Bushnell cams in the past, but I was willing to give their new camera one shot. Fortunately, the camera has lived up to expectations after being out in the woods for a couple months. Battery life is excellent, sensing range is great and the pictures are very nice. Up till now I've only been satisfied with Cuddeback No Flash cameras, but I'm happy to recommend Bushnell's Trophy cam.
I've got all sorts of animals coming in to feed on the persimmons. We just had a full moon, so I'm sure that aided to the night time visitors.
A good looking coyote, hopefully they don't have mange this year.
A really fat coon, my boss has already volunteered to take him out.
Some of the does hanging around. That one clearly new that camera wasn't supposed to be there.

I also got lucky and got some buck pics. I knew this little guy was hanging around, I saw him last weekend. But, I had no idea the other 2 were hanging around. The big one is an absolute bruiser for my neck of the woods. They don't usually survive that long around here with the amount of hunting pressure. I don't know where he's been hanging out, but I'd sure like to sling a projectile at him.
This other buck isn't anything to sneeze at, he looks like a really nice 2.5 year old.
I love putting out cameras, you never know what you're going to get a picture of. If you don't have any out, you don't know what you're missing...
Good Luck All...
