Re: I love seein people post trail cam n sucess pics

Here's my 2015 Rifle Season buck. The neighbor actually kicked him over to me when he started cutting wood.

Re: I love seein people post trail cam n sucess pics

This is probably the most impressive deer I have ever caught on a trail cam. Just a stud 12 pointer.

Re: I love seein people post trail cam n sucess pics

Called this guy Peek-a-Boo because he played peek a boo with a trail camera while he stood behind a bush. I also caught him walking past a trail cam I had set on video. He walked past that camera, which was about five yards from a stand I have, 18 minutes after the camera caught me walking past it o...

Re: I love seein people post trail cam n sucess pics

Regardless of his size, this might be my favorite deer. I call him Sideways for obvious reasons. I saw him so many times he became like a pet. I have photos of him after hunting season closed but none from this year that I can tell. I don't know if the injury that caused the deformation healed or wh...

Re: I love seein people post trail cam n sucess pics

I got this buck on cam about ten times last year and had high hopes for him for this year because he never seemed to leave the area. I thought he had a good chance to make it through the hunting season because his home range was small, even during the rut. None of the neighbors reported shooting him...

Re: I love seein people post trail cam n sucess pics

The photo on the left is from 2014. The photo on the right is from 2015. When I first saw the deer in 2014 I was thinking someone should "cull" this nerd buck from the herd if they got the chance. One year later, I was happy no one had. His body is pretty massive. Can't wait to see him thi...

Re: I love seein people post trail cam n sucess pics

I caught this buck bedded down about 60-70 yards away. I climbed up into my stand for an afternoon hunt and as I stepped onto the platform my eyes immediately saw the sunlight shining on his white antlers. About an hour later, he stood up and actually walked down and then up a little ravine that sep...

Re: I love seein people post trail cam n sucess pics

This guy walked by a couple of different trail cams during the fall, each time during the day and each time while I was hunting a different stand. One time he was tending a doe, so I know he spread his genes.

Re: I love seein people post trail cam n sucess pics

Here's my favorite pic of a coyote that I have. What a coat this guy was wearing. I was going to get him mounted if I caught up to him.

Re: I love seein people post trail cam n sucess pics

This is a pic of the above buck walking past the cam a few hours earlier in the early am hours. He was following a doe. Two other bucks, much smaller, followed along, also. It's hard to judge how big he actually is unless you piece together multiple photos. But he was big with a thick base. Had 13 s...

Re: I love seein people post trail cam n sucess pics

And that buck above isn't even the closest call I've had or the biggest one that went past that cam. Last November I skipped out on a morning hunt to save my voice (horrible sore throat) for a friggin' conference call. This guy walks by my stand at 15 yards and I'm not in it. Ugh. http://i349.photob...

Re: I love seein people post trail cam n sucess pics

Thought this was a pretty cool trail cam pic. I was practicing about 600 yards away. The buck was running in my general direction. Also from opening day. Taken around 12:30 in the afternoon. I collected the SD card from the trail cam about an hour later. http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q367/fxstc...

Re: I love seein people post trail cam n sucess pics

How about turning this into a pic sharing thread? I'll post a few. I love seeing pics as well. Shot this young coyote with the vertical bow opening day.

Re: 380 vibration noise

Thunder, of your Bulldog mods, can you pinpoint which one turned the crack into a thud? I've taken the metallic twang out of mine by wrapping the stirrup and placing traditional rug rest material on the retention spring. So far so good, but I still have a loud crack at the shot. Do you remember putt...

Interesting chrono, FOC, and real world results

I spent a couple of hours shooting various bolt/head combinations out of my Bulldog "380" today and charted the results. I'll list four of them for comparison purposes. Bolt 1: Stock 18" Diablo with 150 grain head. Overall length of 19.125". Total weight of 400 grains. FOC of 16%...
