I have no idea how they got in but I took the camera off that tree , brought it home , sprayed a small amount of wasp spray in there , closed the cover , double plastic bagged it and put it outside . Didn't see anything after that . They were tiny ants .

Thanks Bob . I was shooting the Fusion 240 grain sabots . I couldn't believe how dirty the Pyrodex is . Wow ! We have a small range so I try to go over when no one else is there and I can take my time . I guess I will measure out some Triple 7 and use a different sabot . My son installed his scope and I will double , triple check it for tightness . It's a Simmons but it worked quite well when he had it on his 270 .

Yes , congratulations !

Last night's game was a nail biter . I thought the Tigers were going to blow the lead but they held on .

Excellent idea . Most of the Cameras have a rubber gasket but I have opened cameras before and had water inside . Off topic but I had ants get in one of my old Wild View cameras a couple years ago .

Well , you lucked out . I install and remove Real Estate signs for a guy that owns a sign business . We do Nothnagle , USA , ReMax , Hunt , Cornerstone , Red Barn , etc ... I have driven past homes where I put up a sign 2 years ago or swapped them out when they changed Realtors . Glad you were able to get the home sold .

Sheesh Doc , looks like you bought out the store when they went out of style !

I have shot my son's Traditions in-line yesterday and today . I have been using 90 grains of Pyrodex to push a 240 grain sabot . I have been all over the paper . Today I ran a couple patches through the barrel after each shot . If I didn't , it was difficult pushing the sabot down the barrel . I had never used Pyrodex before and had only used Triple 7 . I was trying to make it easy for my son who had never shot an in-line before . My NEF was still loaded from last season . I put a primer in and shot it at 50 yards . I was 3" high but dead center . I had it sighted in at 100 yards . I will have to back to the range and try the Triple 7 loose powder to see if that helps . Any suggestions ?

I did that one year and havn't since then . I don't care for a beard and don't go past 3 days before shaving again .

I have a camera set up on a friend's property and have gotten pics of deer on various days . My friend has mowed the trail , walked the trail , his son and DIL have walked the trail yet the deer are still passing through .

Thanks for the response . I would guess that most of the roadkill left would be "fair game" and possibly gamey ! There is enough of roadkill out there .

As to the varience , I would take the difference with a grain of salt !

Since I am retired , I guess I have the day off .

The kicker is .......... one of my son's works about 600 yards from Gander Mt and could have gone over there to get his license ...............

I have all of them . No one ever responded until now . Where around Rochester are you located ? I am in Ontario ( east of webster ) .

I am a firm believer in the statement " you snooze , you lose " !

I thought my sons had gotten their licenses but found out that they just bought them yesterday . Neither one was able to get the anterless permits as that had stopped September 30 ( last Friday ) . I bet they won't procrastinate next year ! They will have to apply when the "extras" are given out . I always got my license the 1st available day I could get to the Town Clerk's office . Now they get mailed and I still go for the tags ASAP .

That is a nice big bodied buck . His neck should be getting bigger in a few weeks .

Does anyone log the date , time and what's in their trail cam pics to try to figure out if the deer have a specific time pattern that they pass by the camera area ?

That's a great looking rack Dave . Too bad the more of that buck wasn't in the pic . It would look good on a calender .

He probably did use a tri-pod . The camera never panned or moved at all . Unless he wanted to let folks know how unsafe it was , why would he show himself doing something that stupid ?

Not my property . It belongs to a friend who lets me hunt it and it is a swampy area . I have the camera about 10' high as I don't have a lock system that fits it . Had to carry a ladder in and out to pull the card . It's a Moultrie I-35 but has a flash range of 30 - 35 yards . My stand is about 20 yards off the trail . It's almost a 4 way intersection and the deer seem to stop there . I put some scent out to get them to stop .

Had over 1350 pics and had to do a lot of deleting . Too many small limbs with leaves blowing and tripping the camera . Had to re-do this as I had it on here 3 times .

If it was real and I was filming , I think I would have dropped the camera and ran to help the dumb ass . I can't believe someone would just stand there and keep filming .

CWhite ----- I don't care how old he is ...... that's a nice looking buck . Thanks for posting the pics !
