  1. This morning I got up at 5:30 and was in the stand and ready at 6:30. At first light, I hear what I'm pretty sure were deer running behind me. We have the buddy stand set up on the side of a stripper hill. The wind was blowing straight toward the deer so I'm guessing they got whiff. It was pretty slow after that. Finally, after falling asleep a couple times, I hear something behind me. A lonely hen. By this time I had heard 40+ shots around me and I was dieing to see a deer! A little after 10, I was almost ready to go but made myself try to wait out all the other hunters and maybe get something spooked toward me. Then I catch sight of a deer across a pond in our woods. Seeing the sun shine off the horns, I knew it was a buck. He comes around the pond and heads right for me. After looking at him through the scope, I decide I would take him if he offered a shot. He stops at around 40 yds and I let him have it. He ran around 50 yds and dropped. The shaking set in after I shot, I could hardly hold the phone to call my brother and Mom. I got the shot on video but I didn't get him walking in. I think you can also see him drop. Overall a good morning! I'm definitely happy with my first (antlered) buck! Trailcam pic of him. Right before the shot.
  2. First hard horned buck I've got on the trail cam! He's a shooter in my book. This is in the same woods our stands are in. Hopefully he will show up during shooting hours.
  3. I was gonna get it a while back until I saw some sample videos on youtube. Crappy quality picture for a pretty high price.
  4. I got some more pics of the same buck I got a while back. I also got some neat doe pics. I hope this buck sticks around. Someones been hideing in the bushes. :clown: Brow Tine. Any guesses on age?
  5. Nice buck and mount!! Dust that big boy off!:clown:
  6. Congrats! Yellow labs are cool.
  7. I've killed four deer and have hunted for four years. Our seasons run from Oct. 1 to Jan. 5 including archery, gun, and ml. I hunt during every season.
  8. A few weeks ago me and my Dad had the oppurtunity to go fishing for trout and salmon on Lake Michigan. I would tell more of the story but instead you can watch the videos!! The first day: And the next:
  9. Some more big buck footage from the bean fields. I hope I get a thwack at one this fall!
  10. Me and my brother just checked the trail cam and got one nice buck. We've been seeing this buck a lot and have quite a bit of footage of him. We named him Brow Tine. One fat doe! Buck Can you tell why we call him Brow Tine? ;D This is the old Brow Tine, the pic was taken a couple years ago in July and that's the last time we saw him.
  11. My Dad put together a video of most of the bucks I've got on video this year. I've been scouting the fields around my house about every evening this summer. Enjoy!
  12. Great bass! Congrats!
