Whitetail deer are prized and pursued for their antlers. Hunters spend countless hours each year looking for a mature buck with large or unique antlers. Many hunters also extend their season by searching for shed antlers in the spring. In both pursuits of antlers, hunters have begun to enlist the help of trail cameras. Lets take a closer look at the the life cycle of deer antlers and how a trail camera can help locate deer and explain the process of antler growth.
Deer antlers are not permanant like horns and are shed each spring. The root of the antlers are permanent pedicels on the top of the deers skull. So the antlers begin their growth from the pedicels and then break free of the pedicels when they are shed. Antlers are found only on cervids, such as deer, elk, moose and caribou. At full growth a rack may weight between 3 and 9 pounds.
Photoperiodism is the driving force behind so many animals behaviours. The growth of deer antlers is no exception with the length of daylight controlling the entire process. The process begins in mid-March and April when the amount of daylight increases whichs causes the bucks to ramp up production of testosterone. Basically the pineal gland senses this increase in light and the pituitary gland fills the bucks circulatory system with manly hormones. The hormone increase sets off a chain reaction of changes in the male deers body. Antlers begin to sprout from the pedicels and neck muscles begin to bulk up.
As the antlers grow the main component is protein. A growing antler will be comprised of 80 percent protein by weight. Coming in as the second and third main building blocks of antlers are calcium and phophrous. The levels of minerals and protein slowly level out and reach an equilibrium of about 60% protein and 40% minerals as the antler hardens. Because of the large quantities of minerals required for antler growth, whitetails actually deposit calcium and phosphorous in their skeletons prior to the onset of antler growth and then transfer these minerals during active growth (Stephenson and Brown 1984). Although the antlers and bodies need large amounts of minerals there has been no direct correlation found between supplementing minerals and larger antler growth.
By the end of August and early September the antlers begin to die and the fuzzy velvet starts to dry up and the antlers harden. This is the time when bucks begin to casually rub there antlers against saplings and also begin to engage in light sparing. For the next few months bucks testosterone levels will increase as the rut approaches. Rubbing and fighting will take there toll on many racks which will result in broken tines injured opponents. This will continue until late winter when a huge drop in hormones will cause the base of the antlers to soften. The shedding of antlers is also linked with the length of daylight. The process of shedding the antlers only takes about 3 weeks.
This pictorial was created from several hundred trail camera pictures. It provides a great visual account of antler growth.

I am from the south, NC to be exact, and deer hunting with dogs is a tradition in many areas. Some hunting areas are so think or so vast that still hunting just doesn't work. A visitor to the site emailed me this movie and I laughed till my stomach hurt. For all you pet owners and deer hunters I think you will get a big kick out of this video.

The Primos Truth Cam X Blackout sounds more like a covert military vehicle than a trail camera. In a way it is covert because the 62 black LED flash does not emit any visible light. Some may have noticed a faint red light when staring at conventional infrared game cameras. This will not happy with the Truth Cam X Blackout and it will go completely undetected in the woods.

Once the camera is triggered, it can go from sleep mode to taking trail camera pictures in around a second. They claim the speed is much greater if the camera is already awake. During the day the pictures will have a resoltion of 7MP and 5MP at night. The Primos Truth Cam X Blackout has a built in 2.5 inch color screen for viewing pictures and adjusting settings. Being able to take a quick peek at the pictures is a real bonus.

Primos is promising a 50ft flash range with the help of the 40 LEDs.  During the day you can choose between 3MP, 5MP or 7MP color images. These images can be saved on an SD card up to 8GB.  By my calculations, this means you have more than 2500 trail camera pictures before having a full card.  Like many other game cameras, you also have the option of capturing video.

The Stealth Cam Unit is a micro infrared trail camera. The width and height dimensions are only 4inches by 6inches. This puts it in the category with Bushnell Trophy Cam and the Moultrie M80 and M100. Like we have said before, a small compact size makes the camera much easier to place on a field edge or in the deer woods.

Digital trail camera picture resolution is not a problem with the Unit's 8MP still images. Each image is stamped with the time of day, the date, the moon phase and the temperature. You can also enable the 1-9 image Burst Mode which is a great setting over active trails. Night time picture quality is aided with 38 infrared emitters which give it a 40ft flash range. The Stealth Cam Unit can also capture 10-180 seconds of game camera video.

Compact 4" x 6" infrared digital scouting camera
