Critter Tread - Trapping

I also decided to not worry about bumping deer by setting traps. I did however only set traps here. The area I hunt is very close by but i don't have to walk through it to get to the trapping area. Hours after setting these traps, 2 different deer came through my hunting spot at separate times so hopefully I can continue trapping and not even worry about it.

I have cameras on all my traps but still physically check them every day. I've had several times where I've caught something with no motion trigger by the camera. Here's this morning. Bastard lucked out, it got him on his upper hind. Pretty much the thickest part of his leg. No blood. I released him and he ran off fine. I'm surprised his weight set off the trap.

I found one camera event. The trap is right below the bricks. I'm guessing he did a WWF move off the bricks right onto the trap pan.
