    The evils of trail cameras

    I've been running 2 trail cameras on the private property I hunt for 3 years now. This year, they've been out since June so I could gauge antler growth and, obviously, movements. In the past I've had at least 2 shooters on the property to pursue per year. A "hit list", if you will. This...

    Wish I was in the woods...

    Since misery loves company, I figured those of us who can't hunt these beautiful mornings could use this thread to vent their frustrations. I watched a nice 8 point run a doe around the field behind my house in that nice frosty backdrop and just shook my head.

    I'm on the fence here and need some help based on your observations... I have 2 personal days to use. Do I use them Thursday and Friday or do I use them Friday and Monday? Those are my options. Based on rut observations, what do you guys think? My buddy keeps texting me and says he's...

    Services Quad Bay

    Anyone ever hear of www.quadbay.com? I was shopping on eBay for a quad to replace the one I sold and this site came up. Sure seems too good to be true with their prices.

    Is this Jagger?

    I have my thoughts, but I'll see what you guys think... Last year one of the bucks on my hit list was Jagger. This year, I haven't gotten him on camera yet, but this guy looks very similar. The first pic is Jagger. The second is from a camera this year in a very close location to Jagger's...

    2011 Arctic Cat 550

    Does anyone know anything about the 2012 Arctic Cat 550 quad? I found a good deal on one and was thinking about selling my Brute Force to get it. I've had some overheating issues with the Brute Force and I'm kind of sick of dealing with it. This is exactly what the quad looks like:

    Cotty's Hunt Journal

    First day out was Sunday morning (30th) and Klay (10)was able to bag his first deer, a 4 pointer. In the evening, I sat in a stand on my own and my dad took my other boy, Kody (12)to a blind. I had a 4 point offer me up a chip shot. Too bad it wasn't a target buck that strolled in. My dad...

    Homework Assignment

    Yesterday, during science I decided to give a little biology lesson about what deer like to eat. We discussed apples vs pears... white oaks vs red oaks, etc... So, I told the kids that anyone who had any of these things in their yards and weren't using them (apples, pears) feel free to bag...

    These cool mornings...

    These cool mornings have been driving me nuts! I think I'm in rut. How nice would it have been to be in a treestand this morning? I just hope this weather sticks around. Forecast is a high of 50 degrees on Sunday??? Why can't this be opening weekend?!?!?

    ATTN: Hard Rock / Hair Band fans... (Tesla)

    You might like some of the videos I took last night at Stage AE in Pittsburgh of Tesla. They put on an outstanding show. Reb Beach opened and he was great as well. Reb Beach played stuff from Winger, Dokken, and Whitesnake. I didn't record him, like a dummy. Anyway... here's some videos...
