Redman

Read every word of your great story! congrats. Sounds like a blast!

sounds like you at least had some action to keep your head in the game. just completed my 5th day sitting a blind in the desert...one doe.......started off with high exceptions as I got great pics on cam and the bucks were coming into the water regularly. The blind was setup about a week in advanced, brushed it in real well. Took precautions to keep my scent down, got in the blind before sunup and left twice after sundown. Trail cam showed deer quit watering all together... then I found another water source in the area and setup there. Cam showed the bucks moved there, but were watering at night....today I packed up my blind and called it a learning experience after 8 hours with not a thing. Maybe they smelt me, spooked by my blind or I walked thru their bedding areas or ??? Should get to hunt next weekend, I plan on going to a higher cooler elevation and spot and stalk or setup on a water source. early season is tough, I have a darn tree stand need to set it up in the pines where its not 105+ degrees

With all the post of cams getting ripped off....today a group of very nice people did not take my camera in 22 (even tho they knew it was there as they parked their Rangers next to it..) I THANK YOU. There are honest people out there...I knew I put the camera in a vulnerable spot but it was only going to be there for a few days. p.s. cool looking dogs..they were the only animals pictures. Thanks Again!!! Redman

great buck!! what state?

Awesome job, love the smile....that tells it all.

Cool video, great patience with the stalk. Tough shot angle did the deer die?

congrats!!

take cases of water bottles and freeze them (at least two full days in the freezer), look for the "thicker" plastic bottles (they will cost more but will stay frozen longer that is why Gatorade stays frozen longer) intermix these with the food. I hate using ice as it melts and becomes a big mess. Frozen water 16 oz bottles and gallon jugs sweat a little when they thaw but not like ice, plus they can be drank as they thaw. Keep one ice chest for food and one ice chest for drinks. If space allows fill another with frozen bottles to intermix as the week goes on. Keep some frozen at home so when you come home you can switch the out. As you know the most important thing is to keep the ice chests in the shade....

awesome! nice buck. way to seal the deal

That is so cool....I'd sit in the house with the door/window open then fling an arrow.....

Give me the GPS coordinates and I will check it out and let you know....hard to tell without me seeing it for myself. I would personally get up high and glass and lay the hammer down!

Sad to say....but what isn't made in China....there are a few BH made in the USA...

lol dude Redman thats awesome. Now that there has been so much time there will probably be pics of himself off his trail cam just to prove us wrong on his bluff. Glad everybody liked it....don't get me wrong I have three cameras out right now and the thought of one getting stolen royally sucks but to start a thread saying you got pics and not show them is not right....

I got a great picture of Sasquatch on a trail cam. Good thing he did not know there was another trail cam.... I will post pics later....gotta run I have a Unicorn in my front yard that I got to catch.

Miller's is great, they take good care of the meat and wrap it nice and tight....got to love a processor who also hunts.... BUT COME ON...the special is only good for August??? must fill my archery deer tag...

My truck is well....pretty much a hunting/off road truck. Not worth much, certainly do not want to by a $40,000 new ride..... Been thinking of replacing the standard bed with a flatbed. This would allow me to load the Polaris Ranger and tow my popup. Anybody done this? Suggestions? Any CWT members that can build this?

WOW you have really peaked my interest....did you make it....buy it? please share? I had pretty much came to the conclusion that I was gonna ride with my ride for another year...then get a new truck (at least new to me).

$200,000 off an adjusted income of over of say $5,000,000 (if the guy makes $10 mil) is not going to do much to lower the taxes...like you I would rather give my money to wildlife than to welfare....

Pinedonkey great post. I am sorry to read about your daughter and wish her the very best. Life is not fair and the fact remains that if a person could purchase a governor's tag instead of me makes me furious....... furious that I pissed away all the opportunities I had to make more money and been more successful....if I had only been more dedicated to things, studied harder, or tried harder....I could have purchased that tag.... life is not fair....its not fair that we all have or own choices to make and paths to take and the consequences or rewards that follow...or the parents or country we were born to... p.s. its also not fair that I forgot to purchase a raffle ticket for the Big Game Raffle...

sent my 15x56"s twice for lens replacement and alignment, may be mistaking but I was charged $60 per lens and fixed the rubber coating. SONA got them back to me each time in under 3 weeks. You pay for shipping to them and they shipped them back. They come back as good as new!

man I really want to go....hope to go Sat afternoon to shoot sat and sun...

San Carlos Reservation.... is where I'd like to go!

If you provide your poundage and arrow length I can run though the Archer's Advantage program just for kicks, it will provide spine info.

Between my son and I we have been checked probably 6 times? Never once had a bad experience. One time in 33, the officer glassed up a buck and asked my bro in law if he wanted to go shoot it (the officer would help). Another time in 33 the officer shared a bunch of info on turkey releases (we saw boxes in the back of te truck and asked what they were)...again great encounter. The officer knew about the lion we killed in my avatar before he even checked the tag (he came into camp....) wonder how he knew? One of the funniest stories of all time is when two buddies were hunting and the offer checked one and he had the previous year's license with him (not the current year)....we still give him a bunch of crap for having to take the ride of shame..... the officer did his job.

nada for me....son got a jr 33 nov hunt
