Wow!!! great buck...look how small his ears look next to that headgear. That is a no brainer with any tag.

Those are some cool pictures. Some of the better ones I've seen, it looks to me like there must have been bighorn sheep in the area at that time.

I love seeing them...just like that one

I don't think it was temp related. As you can see by the dates on the photos, the camera took great pictures and was working through one of the coldest months we have had in a while. I have not had any issues with the sensitivity, although I do get a few extra pictures of moving branches etc once in a while.

So I went out early this morning hoping to get almost 5 months worth of pictures. This is the second time this camera has done this to me. It seems like it takes pictures for a short duration, this time for about 4 weeks and then it just turns off or goes dead. I have had this camera out for 3 months and still had lots of battery left when I went to check it. I guess I need to start investing in a few new camera's.

+1 I hardly ever see a live one

I use an old canvas tarp mostly. However...an old piece of indoor carpet works fine as well, even a used one. I would find a carpet layer and see if you can score some for free.

No plug required for turkey, but can't see one needing more than 3 anyway. Thanks for the replies. This is what I thought,but there was some discussion in camp as my son showed up without his plug in the gun. I have to agree with you, I can't remember getting more than 1 shot before they were out of range

Does the 2 shell capacity that you use for waterfowl/dove apply to turkey? I can't find it in the regs. In other words..do you have to have a plug in your pump shotgun?

nice Browns

Pretty good. Amazing what these black powders can do these days, especially in the hands of someone who already knows how to shoot

I don't know what you should buy, but you better start practicing. September gets here quick

Cool pics. I can't wait.

Looks like last years. Wonder what that bad boy looks like this year!!!!

Great footage, thanks for sharing

2 words...cop mentality. Welcome to AmeriKa

I have scanned a lot of photos in the past. You can teach yourself to do it adequately if you are patient. It is difficult to make them better than what you are scanning without a lot of practice and software, old pictures are going to look like old pictures. If you want to archive a bunch of photo's just because, go out and buy a scanner and learn how to use it. Don't expect it to look like the slides scanned above...unless you have slides. I think they have something that scans negatives as well? You might get better quality with that if you have them.

Wow

Great pictures, +1 on what everyone else had to say. It would be a tradgedy for that bull not to be taken cleanly. Congrats for making the right choice!!!

I haven't done any baiting ...yet....but am not opposed to it. I cannot fathom much if any negative impact, and I don't see it as any different then the multitude of other things we do to put the odds in our favor. If it is about harvest numbers then set a limit on the harvest objective???

Love the picture of the strutting turkey...come on turkey season

Wow!!!

No question that is a wide one. It looks like a good solid 16 plus. I would have to agree with Gino, the typical deer you see that matches ear width is around 14-15 inches..on coues of course, not flop ears. The ear position changes all the time so it is hard to be precise, but it is a safe rule of thumb. That deer looks like one 308 nut shot a little over a year ago that measured 19 plus outside spread.

Gino, I agree. If harvest objectives are really needed (I don't buy it) then lets have harvest objectives. There is a bunch of "junk science" that goes into these proposals. I think using a bow is un-sportsmanlike...is that a word? Anyway to be fair to the deer I think you should have to jump out of a tree and take them down with a machette. Whadayathink

Very nice!!!
