  1. Used lithium and alkaline in the cams last year. From August to January. Both types still had battery life left. Save a couple bucks and go with the alkaline.
  2. Wow!!! Congratulations! Well done with a self made bow!!! Way to go!
  3. Congratulations Tacks!! Way to go!! Nice looking buck!
  4. I do alot of shooting bench work testing my reloads. Before that, always zeroed in from a solid bench, even with shotguns. That said, I've shot a pile of deer, definitely the majority "free hand". The bench shooting always gave me the confidence the round would go where I aimed. 99% of the time it did.
  5. Hopefully you feel better very soon. No doubt Bill is a great hunting partner to have. No wonder Cooper like him.
  6. 7mm-08 may just be THE perfect whitetail round. Very little recoil. And will drop them even when off just a bit. Good to go out to 300+ yards. But if the OP has a good deal lined up for a rifle that would fit for his daughter? Go for it! Run a deer weight bullet. Have that youngster spend a "BUNCH" of time shooting that 243. And said youngster will have no problem whatsoever killing their first deer with that 243.
  7. Sure am using up the set ups for a south wind this season!!
  8. I'm with ya. Started to feel crappy yesterday afternoon. Really feel bad this morning. Had flu shot Thursday evening. Got work to do at the farm. Going to try and push through. Had to reschedule our annual meet up with UpStateRedNeck. Just to be on the safe side. Good luck to all out there.
  9. Moved a cam today and made a mock scrape. Left a little bit of Old Man grampy Pee to really get em thinking! Or maybe laughing? We'll see. Been a few nice bucks killed on this ridge.
  10. Took awhile to get here, but I'm in. Love this spot. On the ground between bedding and food.
  11. Great deal! But why not keep it for your next little one?
  12. Congratulations!!! Great shot my friend! Awesome!
  13. Shoot......something.........SHOOT!!!!........
  14. Smaller bucks out and about last night. Couldn't go out this morning. But will be out for my 4th sit this afternoon. Perfect hunting morning. Good luck to those out there!
  15. My hope is the Stro's get swept by the Phillies.
  16. For this reason, I always insisted that the hunter not carry a loaded weapon when tracking. I told them if there is a need for a follow up shot, I would probably be the one to take it. If there were time I'd let them know to load up. Every tracker/handler has their own way of doing it. I hope this one has a complete and speedy recovery.
  17. Sometimes, even when you do everything right, it all goes wrong. It happens to us all if you hunt long enough. Tough deal on this one for you. Wish you better luck next time out. And for the rest of the season.
  18. Wonder what kinda message is being sent with that offering Jay????
  19. Six doe tonight. One decent buck. No shots taken. Great afternoon sit!
  20. I'm in. Let's see what happens? Best of luck to all others out there.
  21. Should've let Moose chew on the scumbag a little longer!!!
  22. Had some work to do up here at the farm, and moved a cell cam. Will head up in the back in a bit to sit till almost dark. A spot from the ground where I can see a good ways. Not expecting a shot. But ya just never know? I killed a bow buck here a few years ago.
  23. I can stay pretty warm using synthetic base layers and Smartwool socks, good gloves. Can definitely stay out much longer when the temps turn bitter, than I used to. But when I'm hunting, and get cold, I come out to get warm. I won't torture myself to kill a deer anymore. At this point in my hunting career, if I shoot a decent buck, it's just a bonus. I don't feel overwhelmed to kill them anymore.
