Personally , I can't answer that as I don't know . If we can knock trail cams by brand or model , etc , how much different is that than a bad experience with a crank on a crossbow ? Hopefully Burmjon will see this and have an answer .

I presently have Windows 8.1 and like it . I keep getting notices to update to Windows 10 . Does anyone have this ? Is it any better than Windows 8 or 8.1 ?

Here is another pic of that little guy

They only come out at night ....... except for the fawns

Always remember ...... Getting old beats the hell out of the Alternative !

Thank you .... one and all !

I havn't shot a buck in a couple years . Last year I put 2 does in the freezer . I shot was what available to me . I had more tags but no more opportunities . I take the deer for the freezer not for the antlers .

Soy beans are 3 1/2 ---- 4 feet high .

Nice looking bucks .

It wasn't my stand and it was on another person's property . I know it has been there for at least 3 years when I first saw it . A couple of new guys are hunting that area and wanted to hunt my SILs property also . She said NO . We had a thread about taking down someone's stand and leaving a note so I wonder if that is what these guys did . Because of the plastic bag on the support bar , I didn't think it had fallen and thought a note had been left . If that's the case , it appears that they did the right thing .

Done !

Walked my sister in laws property yesterday to see how wet the woods might be as it doesn't drain well . Saw a double treestand laying on the ground across the ditch from my SILs property . Some new guys are hunting there this coming year . It looks like it might have been removed and a note left with it .

There are certainly some shooters in that crowd in OPs post .

Nuttin ! Don't need anything . Too much gear as it is .......

I checked 3 trail cams . One was mostly a guy with a Bush Hog making trails through a pond field and no deer on the card . Another had a spike posing for the camera . Realized when I got home that the date had reverted back to January 2010 . On the third was a nice buck . I was there last Thursday but since I visited my sister I checked the cams and walked the woods to see if they had dried up . Only saw one doe while walking . There was a snail on one camera lens and when I took the cover off of the Moultrie Lock Box , there was a toad sitting on top of the camera and it startled me . It was pretty funny .

Another Geneseo buck

Does anyone do this with a relative ? I was told at a gun shop that I could fill out a form to have my son , who has a pistol permit , as a dual owner . The advantage of this is ..... if something happens to me , the dual owner would automatically become the sole owner and the government wouldn't get the pistols .

Good point Doc . I have accumulated a few "junk cameras" over the years . Tried to replace some of the internal batteries but they are soldered into to camera guts . I was liking the Primos CR Truth Cams but had 2 infested with ants . Easy to take apart . Cleaned out the webs , whatever and used the compressor to blow out the internals . Still couldn't get the cameras to turn on . Cheap Wildgame cameras may be the way to go but they don't take multi-shots . What I see on the cameras during the summer changes by fall as crops are harvested and the Deer movement changes .

Not a problem . I carry my hunting clothes in a sealed tote and put them on when I get to the place I am going to hunt .

I would think that a crossbow would be more effective than a compound . Easier to tweak the sight (scope) . Faster than a compound ... Stryker is 405 fps . Can be shot from a rest . Cocked until the trigger is pulled . Easy enough whereby a novice can shoot bullseyes in no time . What's with the "follow up shot" ? With the accuracy of a crossbow , it shouldn't be necessary .

Welcome to Hunting NY

From my friend's TC in Walworth ........ some bucks aren't camera shy

I have one on my pack and a copy on my back in blaze orange holders I also put the deer tag on the ear with a zip tie and then another zip tie around the ear to make sure it stays in ....

Wait until it looks down the barrel and pull the trigger .
