Best time of the year for game cameras on ponds

This location has been productive for a variety of animals this time of the year. First time for a Porcupine in this location and certainly not the normal route because of the overgrown grass and brush along this pond, but they do eat a lot of vegetation.

August and September are my favorite times of the year to place a few cameras around ponds and creeks. The water is still low and the weather is hot and dry, lots of animals looking for food and a quick drink. This will change fast in October when it begins to rain and could last for several months or longer, which makes for sleepless nights as the water raises and the cameras are close to the creek banks.
