CT Bucks on Covert Spec Ops

[sampotter]

I drove down to my traditional hunting grounds in CT yesterday and set out 4 cameras in preparation for bow season. 2 were the Covert Spec Ops cameras that Phade has posted about in this forum. They can send a picture to your phone and/or email. My phone buzzed with the 1st picture of a doe just as I was leaving the state on my way home. I received several other pictures on the way home and I wisely turned my phone to silent when I went to bed- I had 46 new pictures that were texted to me between midnight and 5 am! There appears to be a couple of nice bucks there- the only way to tell them apart is there brow tines it seems, which are pretty small on the one and the other only has 1. Fun stuff...

Ha, cool!

 

I guess that could get to be a PIA after a day or two.  Who'd a thunk it?

 

It'll be interesting to see what that costs for the season.  Do you have a fixed rate on the cell signal/plan?

[Lawdwaz]

Dandy buck by the way!

It's a prepaid Gophone plan- 9.99/mo for 1000 or 19.99 for unlimited. I think there is maybe a $5 for 200 plan too.

 

I can foresee needing to come up with a way to manage the inflow of pictures. It would be really cool to figure out how to get them to just send straight to a folder on my computer.

I'm liking the mass in the last picture.

Crazy stuff, these cams today.

 

I guess for me placement on a scrape would slow the action down a bit and just show the good stuff.  <grin>

Couple of nice looking bucks. The last one looks like he has some good mass. I guess you will see when velvet is gone. Good luck.

Very Nice!

 

You guys sure have given me an "itch" to get one of those cams!

I get 4-5 bars of service along 104...no worries about reception there.

 

Many people are getting the itch for them - some are intimidated, but it's super easy to set-up.

 

It's always nice when you wake up to photos like that. Or like this one - although not a shooter this year - still nice when there's a blind in the background, lol. Sure beats working at work.

I have to admit- last night I was checking my phone for any new pictures every few minutes and it felt like one of those lonely loser Friday nights in high school when I used to just stare at the phone, hoping, praying it would ring and a girl would be calling with something to do... But alas this time my phone did ring and the pictures did come in!

[sampotter]

This one came in as I was typing the previous post... Note the date and time

That is so cool! I gotta get one of those! Probably out of the question this year though. Kid just started college and funds are REAL tight...

Ha-ha .... all I've got to say is that with some of these great deer that are showing up for the cameras, a lot of you guys have no good reasons for not coming up with some real nice trophy harvest pictures for us this year .... lol.

 

Just kidding. I know that once the season starts, all the rules change. And those deer seem to know exactly when the season starts.

[sampotter]

Fresh one.

Very Nice! I have had mine Covert Special Ops Code Black for about 3 weeks now and I am loving it!

I doubt Potter will have much issue flashing a kill pic this season.

 

And Potter...you should have been calling the girls in high school, not waiting for their call....lol.

Easy- now, I'm a little too superstitious for my own good. You're probably right about going on the offense in high school. Knowing what I know I now- I would have done things a little differently...
