Thanks! My three little girls LOVED it! That's one big snake!

Seems to be getting worse on my end. At first my PC was only detecting a threat one time now it's detecting 3 of them back to back to back. Hope this gets fixed soon.

Me too. Every time I open this thread I get a malicious threat has been detected from my computer.

Heck yea that's a sweet buck! The buck reminds me of someones avatar a while back I think it was silentbutdeadly's old avatar. Congrats on the stud buck man!

What do my fellow hunters think about the Electoral College? Does anyone else here feel that the popular vote would be a better way to elect our presidents?

Looks like there's a good chance it's going to be a bit chilly for this weekends opener. Just curious how some of you feel about maybe having cold, wet windy weather for this weekends hunt. You guys think this weather is going to get the deer up and moving or will it keep them down? Either way I'm beyond excited! Just 3 more days left and I'll be chasing coues!

For the area I'm hunting the forcast for wind doesn't look too good. 23 mph on Friday and 17 mph on Saturday. Hope this changes a bit between now and Friday. Wind eats my eyes up like no other. 1 hour in the wind and my eyes are torn up.

To quote the great Joe Dirt..... "DANG!" Love to see some other angles on that buck if you have them. What a beautiful buck!

Way to go Parker! Heck of a buck! Awesome job on the video guys keep it up.

Nice looking buck. Congrats on your second coues deer! Looks like we both like to hunt in the same general area. Sucks about the miss on the big one trust me I know how you feel. I got the 2nd hunt in there starting on the 9th hopefully there'll be a few big boys left in there for me to chase around.

Interesting idea but as other mentioned I don't think it would work too well. I can actually see the possibility of a rule like this complicating things even more. I agree with the others and think the system we have now is the best system possible.

I watched the video and can't believe the stink that is being made over this. The whole PC crap has gotten way out of hand in this country. In my mind this just encourages me to vote for Mitt even more. I'm pretty sure if you had a sneaky hidden camera that fallowed Obama around catching his every word you'd be getting some good ones from him as well.

Incredible footage! That has to be one of the most awesome looking bulls I've seen in a long time. I sure wish I was up in elk country right now.

Good stuff Craig! "Oh s**t!!! I missed." That was pretty dang funny right there. Keep up the good work and good luck this season!

Found one! Thanks guys!

Looking for a V10 Ford Excusion 4x4 if you happen to have one or know of one for sale please let me know. Thanks!

OK. Thanks for your time Terry.

Look at tha mass! Sweet buck! Thanks!

Awesome thanks Terry!

Thanks for the Craiglist link. I've been looking on Craigslist for a couple weeks now but haven't found excactly what I'm looking for yet. Hoping someone here is looking to sell their Excursion that hasn't listed it yet in any classifieds or if someone has seen one on a lot somewhere. I've pretty much got anything available online(Craigs/Ebay) covered. The diesel is out of my price range and a bit overkill for my needs since I won't be towing anything or driving it much. I hear a lot of good things about the 7.3 though and would be nice to have but the V10 just suits me best. Family is getting too big and we can't all fit in the Jeep anymore so I need something bigger. Tried out a couple 4 door trucks but they were just a bit too crowded for us. I've done quite a bit of research and I'm dead set on the V10 Excursion.

Great pic! What state was this picture taken in?

Yes you are correct. I was talking about hunting in general not referring to baiting. I could be wrong but hunters 20-30 years ago seemed to get along much better then they do now days. Having the internet might have something to do with that but that's a completely different topic. Back to baiting as coues & sheep pointed out earlier baiting tends to be getting more and more popular over the years and this could be causing baits to be less effective. I'd still like to know if any of you have also noticed a decline in the effectiveness of baiting over the past few years as coues & sheep has?

Good points made ready2hunt.

Some very interesting stuff here especially the part about the significant increase of attractants being used now days and how it effects the baiting advantage. Makes since to me the more attractants being used the less effective they will be. Seems like the popularity of baiting is growing year after year if this keeps up imagine what it will be like in 5 to 10 years. By this time baiting might not work at all due to the over use. Have any of you other guys noticed a decline in the effectiveness of baiting over the past few years?
