  1. Is it worth the $200? What are your guys thoughts on the cam? are they really what they say they are? (fast trigger, 1000 pics per set of battery?)

    Lol I'm typing this post with an iPod.
  3. He already has posted them.... Realtree pro staff room I think under the same title. Very impressive set.
  4. My cousin said to get a cattle feeder, fill it up with corn and hang twine or something above the corn to snare bucks antlers during prime shedding season to pull the antlers off. Just wondering if anyone had tried it in the past? Much like corn can be placed under logs so when deer reach under it jars them lose.
  5. Could somebody suggest a starter kit for a deer shoulder mount? I have a deer in the freezer that needs mounted and would rather learn how to mount something than spend 300+ dollers getting it done. I have a good background in fur handling/skinning due to trapping and deer skinning during deer season. Plenty of time and patience. So i know all that kind of stuff and it doesnt gross me out. Any pointers would also be appreciated. thanks nick
  6. Second antlered buck ever, 15 points, not eligible for contest though notice 1.5" drop tine by left ear
  7. I love my firecat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  8. Dad called me at school and told me to get home because they had him spotted. he was laying bedded with the wind in my favor, a 20 min. stalk got me within 15 yards and i arrowed him in his bed. any thoughts on score? nontypical, he has a droptine below left ear. small drop tine about 1.5 inches long
  9. 15 pointer yesterday, hes a FREAK! old heavy buck, ill get pics up sometime. hes at the taxidermist so i only have pics of the antlers. not a closeup of the tag, i have the bottom part of the tag yet thiough
  10. didnt find him, thought i saw him last night though chasing a doe.
  11. Shot a big buck tonight, at 20-25 yards quartering away a little. Shot him, heard a crunch as the Rage hit him. He ran away with the arrow still stuck in him. The arrow wasnt very far in him though. thought i saw him stumbling as he ran away back through the forest. Looked around for blood, NOTHING! didn't look too hard though. We heard him in the corn feild take a few leaps then stop. Gonna go out in the morning and look. I think hes a 6x5 or 5x4 and real tall. Not real wide though. Do deer shot through the shoulder blade usually mean a kill shot? Im shooting about 65# Maxima hunter arrows with a Rage head.
  12. I think...I think....I think im in love!
  13. he didnt seem too spooked, i was wearing my ghillie suit so he probably only saw movement cuz i was crouching down. and if i was a buck i wouldnt go too far from them apples.
  14. saw a big un tonight, he bolted while i was drawing, i missed a monster a year ago tomorrow, so im out to redeem myself. got that ones rubline bedding area all mapped out cuz hes bedded by an apple tree, he has double brow tines so hes a 6x6.
  15. was lookin at a rub on a tree when i looked up to see a massive set of antlers headed my way, I saw the same buck last night when i was headed out on the 4 wheeler just down from where i saw him tonight. he was headed directly at me when he got away from behind a tree nd he stopped and looked right at me. so i drew thinking it was now or never and he immediately bolted, my Q is since i found his rub line, and know the general direction where he is bedded at near an apple tree. is that going to be a good spot to hunt the next few days? or should i leave it alone for a little bit since i bumped him?
  16. That is VERY high, theres no need to be 40' in a tree.
  17. noticed the same thing, cant be for sure if its a fake though, crazy stuff does happen.
  18. I just bought my first package of them yesterday, Sounds like I should like them.
  19. I put on some good ol fashioned duct tape, there aint no way its comin off now. problem solved.
  20. on my martin firecat the rubber string stopper keeps flying off after i shoot it, every shot, and it throws off the shot usually, and its the only complaint with the bow that its not anchored on solid. so how do you take it off? or does it even come out? (the metal rod that the rubber stopper comes out on)
  21. i have a metal detector and it saved me countless dollers while i was shooting aluminum arrows, cant say the same for carbon because it would only pick up the feild point. ur broadhead is probably on top of the ground after the deer broke it off so just keep following the trail ur deer made.
  22. Oh by the way im Nick from Iowa, I hunt all deer seasons they offer in Iowa and im huntin youth season as we speak, Good luck everyone!
  23. Checking in, didn't read that there was a seperate forum for the online contests... why is the (Y) behind my name?
