I have amazon basics and they are pretty much junk. Dont last long. Might be decent for some things. but not cameras IMO
-
I do behind my house where its convenient for me. On properties i hunt/call I do not. I dont like adding extra scents to the area. and putting a camera over bait piles may keep coyotes from coming to them. They dont like the flash or the red glow of the IR lights. Unless you can hide it very well or up high. But coyotes are smart and have almost zero forgiveness, especially the older ones. That being said i use bait from deer carcasses set out in the back field. Typically they are gone within days. They would be more used to a different scent around houses or what not, vs my hunting locations where housing is slim to none. Also, pound a stake of some sort through everything to make them work hard for that bait pile. It buys you time while theyre occupied and it will usually mean they have to keep coming back more, rather than them just running off with the big chunks..

Looks like a doggy up top and a big bobcat in the 2nd picture

Yep! Focus on your bigger doe fawns as some will be coming into heat for the first time as well as the adult does that haven't been successfully bred yet.. That being said, play your wind correctly and focus on a bed to food pattern... I think the majority don't see it bc its much less active. But sitting on a late season food source may provide a little 2nd rut action. OR a trail leading from the bedding to that food source..

Following, I tried pickled heart last year and as it was very tender and full of flavor.. IT was tough to eat for me. IDK why. Probably just the thought messing with my guts lol. But i want to try it in the cast iron instead this fall.

The difference is barrel length, standard AR rifles are usually 16". Where bolt action rifles can range from 22-28" long typically. Thats a big change in velocity. and many times, accuracy as well.

243 winchester vs 44 magnum for deer which would you pick ?
LET EM GROW replied to phantom's topic in General Chit Chat
It all comes down to bullet selection and shot placement.. I chose 243 all day! Choose your bullet wisely and you can kill most all if not all North American big game animals with it. 44mag will work well if your shots are kept under 100 yards. Is imagine their may be a decent change in recoil between the two. Though ive never shot a 44mag long gun. -
Thought you cant ship primers in states? I found a guy who had some and was going to buy them but I found him on fb, swears hes an ffl tier 3 owns hos own shop etc.. but i hate to drop money for a couple thousand and lose out since he wont let me pay with goods and service. I declined sale. and the apps he uses arent protected by fraud

I hate to judge a book by the cover here, but my first initial thought was how rude. I give all I can to my children and nieces/nephews. Not to be materialistic, but they always come first. That being said, who knows the predicament they are in. An offering to buy the Childs drink would probably get shot down by the father in most cases Id imagine.

Sightmark customer service - thumbs up from me
LET EM GROW replied to Engraver99's topic in Small Game and Predator Hunting
I had two of these scopes. For me they both perform flawlessly. I have sold one, and kept one on my 243 AR10 with QD mount. I plan to try to save different ammo profiles soon. A deer reticle(85gr tsx) and coyote reticle profile(70gr Nosler). I will eventually reload this caliber and use one bullet for both. Ammo and available bullets are becoming to hard to find/produce in mass quntities. For the price they you really get alot out of the scope. A good/great Exxternal IR light makes these optics amazing! -
Now Ive always been completely against drinking beer in the woods while carrying weapons etc and trying to take the life of the game we pursue.. But as I grow, Ive also matured more( I know not everyone does) and have actually pondered the thought of just bringing a beverage out to sit and relax and unwind. My life is nothing less than crazy having With typical children and their sports, along with trying to raise an Atypical child.. and a Wife with Auto Immune diseases at young age.. The 1 beer a night i get a few times a week feels so rewarding.. and the thought has crossed my mind several times while im out in Gods creation just relaxing, unwinding and enjoying my time.. I have yet to bring a beverage with me, but i can probably say there will be a time in the near future it happens.. Just like anything else, its all in the individual that uses the object.. not the object itself..

The vmax is less than ideal, but capable if you dont hit bone. That being said, Vmax to the neck will drop the deer everytime. I shot a 4yr old buck with a 95vmax from a 6.5cm tight to the shoulder and he died after 50 yard dash quickly. Bullet fragmented and literally hit everything within a ft of the entrance hole. shrapnel down the front leg, stomach lungs, heart, neck all had shrapnel. the bullet got in about 6-8" deep at max.. the 223 is better with vmax than the 22.250 would be, due to velocity.. A vmax pushed over 3400fps tend to explode on impact. A vmax traveling closer to this velocity or less will achieve better penetration. and less explosion. As youre aware im sure, a bullet built for penetration makes the 223 a whitetail killer..

Pulsar Thermion Scope Comparison
LET EM GROW replied to Shoots100's topic in Small Game and Predator Hunting
I had some funds saved up to get into a thermal scope this year.. I was planning on buying the super hogster or maybe the xp38. But instead, I took the money and got my wife something nice.. Its saddening lol I want that thermal scope lol. Now shes jobless and funds are tight so it will be next year now.. dang! -
Happy birthday Whitetail Whisperer!!

I had the luxury of chasing (2) different bucks at the same time on the same property that ended up dying/dissappearing at age 9.5 and 10.5 yrs old. I Have the history every year to prove it. Chasing bucks like these teaches you how to really hone in on what big bucks do and why. I finally crossed paths with The Ghost after passing him in 2012, again during late October 2018, It just felt right so I went with my gut.. And i misjudged yardage and sent an arrow an inch over his back. And the other buck, Chunk, was in my wheel house more often than the other so I had to patiently wait the right times and weather to hunt him. Over a couple years I narrowed his daily patterns down to almost a T.. But my youngest child became quite ill when the stars really lined up for this buck, but I gave up hunting for the season a skids come first.. And My homework proved right... He should have died by my arrow on many occassions.. ( I believe he got poached after dark at the end of season) as I knew what this deer did every season.. and he was never seen again after the last week of season, and the tresspassing and poaching greatly increased in the area... Cell cams and regular cams on access paths proved this.. Heres a brief part of our history... and I miss it dearly.. Buck 1 is The Ghost, he died at 9.5yrs on Day 1 of gun season Buck 2 is Chunk, he disappeared at 10.5yrs (6" and 6-5/8" bases)

I call dibs!! ..... on one of your super dinks that is lol

I guess I can give my go to info out lol. PAITENCE KILLS!! Just remember that.. 1. Interrogation Howl, Give it much time, awaiting a response. 2. Challenge howl when they answer.. 3. When your ready to pack it up, or they arent willing to commit after challenging them to your best ability, play Pup distress, followed by another pup distress, and sometimes a 3rd. Ive called them in on the 3rd different pup distress played one after another, in the daytime and night time. Just be realistic with your calling. And IMO especially in areas coyotes get called to, AVOID playing too much cottontail distress calls. Play other types of sounds other than just cottontail.. If the coyotes show pattern, ID first not call at all and wait them out wind in your favor, not theirs. These coyotes showing pattern is them doing your homework for you.. If they end up late and not showing, then start your call sequence.. Also, Fox will come in to Coyote vocals.. so dont think they wont..

My boy got a doe for his last year as a youth hunter. For a youth, starting as soon as he can legally, he’s had a hell of a hunting start! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
