Yes . If you have it straight out from you , you won't see the shot as your head is at an angle . It's difficult to to tell exectly where the lens is directed . It would be advantageous to have it on the hat for watching the deer after the shot though . I could give that another try but that doe isn't going anywhere . I wanted folks to see this before they plopped down $150 for one ( I think that's what my wife paid for it at Dick's Dec 2008 ) .

Old man Prusik really knew how to tie one on ! :

One of the pee collectors is John Bacon from North Country Products . John is from Lyons , NY and if he ever smiled , I bet his face would crack . John uses a blow dart gun and uses it with whatever to put the does into estrous and then collects their urine . He attends a lot of the Sportmen's Dinners and did a slide show talk at one of them . One of his bucks came after him once and tried to kill him .

I went there rather than to the Italy Valley QDM meeting or the Rochester Gun Show and was surprised to see so few Vendors . I took one of my grandson's with me and he got to shoot the shotgun and bow . Got there around 10:45 and had to walk a hell of a distance . Dutch Hollow road had cars parked almost to Lakeville ! ??? The deer pee collectors each had a nice buck with them . What a disappointment !

Gun hunting 45 years ----- 1 deer not recovered Bow hunting 16 years ----- 2 deer not recovered I spent many hours looking for those deer and I would rather have missed than to wound and not recovered them !

The D&DH show -- "Is it Right...Legal vs. Ethical" -- will air again on the Versus Channel tomorrow (Saturday) at 9 am EST .

Tomorrow ..... Sept 25

I wonder if it's the Hazlenut flavoring or the Chlorophyll ........http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/crazynew2.gif[/img]

Nice pics !

As soon as I shoot I am starting to reload as I don't know how well the deer was hit and if he / she moves , I want that 2nd shot . So far the farthest I have shot a deer with BP is about 85 yards and I have been LUCKY enough not to need the 2nd shot . Also , if you have the tags , you might be able to pull off a double and that won't happen with an empty gun .........

I have made mock scrapes along deer trails and have pee'd in them . Then I have set up a trail cam . Deer have stopped to check it out . It sounds like BS but it works . I think they are just satisfying their curiousity .

I have a Moultrie IR40 on my friend's property .

I bought a NEF 50 cal inline ML about 5 years ago at the Avon Gun Shop . I had the owner of the AppleTown Gun Shop in Williamson install a scope rail on it then I mounted a 1.5 X 4.5 scope on the gun . I was in a treestand in Geneseo and saw a 6 point heading my way . I was expecting him to enter the lane-way but he entered the corn instead . Darn ! Later , I got out of the stand and walked to the North end of the field as a breeze was coming from the South East . As I walked across the North end I looked down each row . Around the middle of the field I saw a doe about 85 yards walking from east to west . I walked back about 3 rows , pulled the hammer back and aimed down the corn row . When the doe hit that row , I got her in the scope and squeezed the trigger . Bam ! And a big cloud of smoke along with a kick . I looked and saw nothing . No sound of anything running through the corn . I figured I must have missed and walked down the row to check for blood . Holy crap ! She was laying right where I had shot her . What an adrenaline rush . I was very impressed with those Hornaday 240 gr STP's .

Hey Doc , you better watch it . I heard that Chantix is a "performance enhancing drug " ! http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/smile.gif[/img],,,http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/smile.gif[/img] Congrats to those who have kicked and Kudos to those that were smart enough to never smoke ! Pipe smokers don't put themselves in the same category and don't think pipe smoking is that bad for you . Pipe smoking contributes to macular degeneration and many pipe smokers have lost their eye sight .

Read the rules that DoeWacker posted . The crossbow is only legal for Deer and Bear . Maybe they will change that . Presently the Bill is only good for 2 years but no doubt that will change also .

I was still messing around with the Photo Bucket links so I may have been changing things over while you were browsing .......Double Click on it now !

I tried out my EPIC StealthCam this morning . It comes with an attachment / clip that you can fasten to your hat or a foam support that you can use on your bow or gun . It was rather breezy so the mike picked up the sound of the wind . It only has a 2X magnification so it didn't show where the arrows hit which would be nice on a live deer . Anyway , here it is :

Ted Nugent ... a little blurp on ETHICs

Out around Atlantic Ave and Lincoln rd . It's a small property and too many people are on it . There are at least 3 other folks that hunt it plus a neighbor who tresspasses on the property . I might end up pulling my stand out of there but I don't want to upset my friend .

When I quit in 1979 , cigarettes were $5.25 a carton including taxes . The secret to quiting back then was NOT to tell anyone . Guys that didn't have the willpower to quit and had failed at it didn't want to see someone else succeed . I remember reaching for a cigarette in my shirt pocket months after quiting as it was a habit ......... My youngest son quit smoking about a year ago and had used the nicotine patch to do it . Whatever it takes ! http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/thumbup.gif[/img]

Thought I would start this topic as some of it was discussed in another thread . Up until 8 am Dec 24 , 1979 , I had smoked all my life ( even when I played sports in High School ) . It took my Dad dying of cancer 11/11/79 to get me to quit . I didn't tell anyone that I had planned to quit and started to taper off with the smoking and then just quit cold turkey . MY father died at the age of 66 and the Cancer did him in ............ Quiting smoking is probably one of the hardest things a person would ever have to do . Congrat's to those that kick the habit !

I wonder if the Insurance Companies hammer the DEC to have more deer killed as it must cost a fortune to the Insurance Companies for Deer / Vehicle accidents .

I take the pics on a friend's property in Walworth . The problem is .... his son , daughter in law and daurhter's boyfriend hun back there . With all those folks going through , they kinda stink up the area . My friend walked out in the area on Sept 21 and I havn't gotten any pics in two days .

Vaseline ? Ar e you planning on taking a Texas Heart shot ? http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/help.gif[/img]
