I have a huge dog problem, now we run dogs as well, but we know our dogs and not our dogs. We shoot other dogs... I watched a retriever mix and a shepherd take down a mature doe, from that point on i said dogs get no more free passes.

Honestly i'm not a huge fan of them, from everyone i know that owns one they get the same as their v8 trucks used to get before they traded in on an ecoboost, but then again i'm also skeptical about the longevity of a turbo gas truck motor if its used like a truck

Went in last week to look around... littered with sign.... hung a couple cameras and hung a stand. I don't have anpost seas ok n option at all as I'm only home for my mid tour and season runs for another 3 weeks after I'm back on the other siden of the world. Hopefuly with the 2 god days of rain and the week of not touching it will yield some results

scents work because they are now breaking off as solo bucks... still entirely to early to call. this time of year unless its a monster they are still in bachelor groups. and will break off later in the season

WAY too early to call in that part of FL. the rut doesnt happen till late jan early feb. they are still on feeding schedules right now.

The guys know that the dogs are not to go near this portion... now granted once they are already running then that cant be helped but they dont push the dogs through it like they do on other parts.

Don't know what all of y'all think about The crush, but being stationed in South Korea gives me prime hours to watch their live feeder camera. Any of you guys ever look at it?

Ok, so I have family land just over 1000 acres... now here is my dilemma. Right smack in the middle of it is 6 acres that i dont own. I know the person that owns it and we let a hunting club hunt on our property, in exchange for fee's and keeping up the paths that I use to access the property lines. They do run dogs. BUT there is about a 30 acre patch that I know they wont go. Its too thick to access by truck or 4 wheeler. But in that 30 acres i have a flowing water source and large oaks. Do you think it would be worth my time to hack a way in there (just big enough to walk in on) and hang a camera for a week or so just to see whats in there? The whole farm and that is probably the last place left truly untouched by anyone including me over the last 5 years.

love my viper... the only thing (to me) that is more comfortable is my lawn chair in a ground blind

no they are not expensive at all

thanks guys, good to be back... ready to see some good stories and some pictures of deer down!

Thanks for the report! Have questioned rage for years. And got the conformation I need. I will continue to use my Muzzie's which on FL/NC deer look like a 12guage slug went in them.

^what all of the said! as long as there isnt a moderate to strong wind it works.

nice job!

thanks redkneck... almost lost a marriage over stupidity... PCS'd to Korea, man its been a hectic year and a half... but finally back on track now hoping to get back up to speed
