They do make a trail camera that sends any pictures/video direct to your computer or cell phone when it is activated. Theres also video cameras that you can watch on your phone. Our shop has them, so even if you are away you can still monitor things.
I still have my 70MXR. works fine, just not that fast anymore compared to my Bowtech. I also had another Darton before that, but can't think of the model number.. They were always great bows, and I always shot fingers with them, before releases.
Until this moron falls and some scumb*g lawyer tells him to bring you to court. Too bad you didn't have a trail camera, near that spot. The video would be funny...
One more reason you should be able to carry a handgun during bow season.... Being outnumbered and outgunned is not fun, at least you know 1 of them isn't going home either...
I would go for a self climber over the sticks and stand combo. They're light, don't make much noise anymore, and you can backpack them in or out and change your spot if you need to quickly. I've used the on Long Island and upstate with no problems. Take a look in the classifieds, maybe some one is selling one.
Try checking out a new copy of Gun Traders Bible? go into a book store and take a look at it, they were about 25-30 $ to buy a copy. Once you get a general idea, you need to find someone that wants it... Sounds like a neat gun.
Been using them for about 3 years now, they work great. Even if the arrow hits a shoulder blade or you don't get a pass through shot, you can watch the arrow heading through the woods and see them drop.
