  1. So looked at the card. 1122 photos. 1103 had deer in them, including a few decent ones...
  2. Just grabbed a card that I set near a bean field 2 weeks ago. Over 1100 pictures!? Tons of fresh rubs and scrapes nearby. Bumped 2 doe on way in and 2 more on way out.
  3. 63 f this morning in Braddock Bay. Looking for pheasant and had this 5 pt 30 yds away. Never spooked, just walked away..
  4. You guys make a compelling case for processing your own deer. I think you're absolutely right that's it's only as easy or as hard as you make it. I'll let you know how it goes! Now all I need is a deer to work on!
  5. Moog I think you takes me out of it. If it's only taking you an hour to skin and quarter, and with minimal mess, I can handle that. And if not, I can always pick up the portable hoist later..
  6. Had a swing set but the wind destroyed it in those storms we had earlier in the year. Garage beams are 9 foot and could work, but the wife isn't thrilled about having a deer hanging around in the garage. Happy wife = happy life.. I could take it inside if the weather didn't cooperate but that would be a last resort. Seems likes this is my best option for hanging and processing..
  7. The plan would be to (weather permitting) age them.. cutting them up for sure. Not a single tree in the yard. I thought about building, but yard space is limited so I like the idea of being able to take it down when it's not being used.
  8. I'm making the move this year from taking my deer to a butcher to processing my own. $80/deer adds up real quick. I don't have a big enough shed or the garage space to hang it inside, so I'm thinking about picking up one of these tripod hoists. I see them online for under $100. Essentially they are a tripod with a hanger and a manual winch. I live in a suburb of Monroe county so the only thing I'm worried about getting to it is the heat. Does anyone have any experience with these?
  9. I'm shooting this same setup and xbow shoots app 315 for.. I'll let you know how it works out after the 4th!
  10. I have the carbon express advantax. Initially I had sloppy groups. Turns out the scope wasn't tight. Fixed that and now I'm literally splitting arrows!
  11. Sonofgriz what part of 8a? I just gained access to a property out that way..
  12. Nice bird! I went out Saturday morning but there were WAY too many people. It was like a real poop show.
  13. I'm over in 8a and lots of red acorns have dropped along with hickory and walnuts. Send like a good crop this year compared to last year
  14. Pheasant opener this morning. Can't wait shoot a rooster.
  15. Reel where is this place again? I'll keep an eye on it for you after the family tags out! Congrats on all the success.
  16. New to this post.. checked cam 2 weeks ago. A few big does and a 4 pt. Mostly at night but some day activity to. Also lots of coyotes. Moved the cam to a diff spot. I have 6 fresh rubs and some big tracks nearby. Can't wait to see what gets it's pic taken!
