I always like to start my shed season running fence lines, over the years I’ve found a few singles this way. Wasn’t expecting to find a side by side set right on the fence but I will take it! Second pic is the buck wearing them.

With the choice of stories, you went with the Geiger counter?

I will do better, I will come over and wake you up, make you breakfast, get my cuffs, im selling, make sure you are not radio active, then I will whisper in your year a story of all the nice things I have to sell, we will then go to lunch, you will pay for it, it will a very expensive lunch, then we will talk about over drinks and cigars. I can't keep up with what I am even doing LOL.

Most interesting classified ad in a while.

Kinky

But do you have 44" cuffs? That's a little more fair chase.😊

Kinda off topic but does anyone remember running the 35mm cameras? I had one. I'd pull my roll of film, bust butt to Walgreens to get the film developed, get my pictures back and then admire the 36 beautiful cows I got shots of in one afternoon. The good ol days!!!

4 pages of replies for a prank skit? Dang you all uptight, go fishing or turkey hunting .

The 197 SMK is a very long, high BC bullet. 1:7.5" minimum twist requirement. I would not consider it for a 1:9" twist, at all. I would look at up to 175s. Even the 183 SMK & 180 SMK states a 1:8" minimum. Know this....when a company says "Minimum", that is not always the OPTIMAL twist rate. If you hunt high country, that helps with the air density and bullet stability. I have had great results with the 175 Elite, 175 SGK, 168 VLD, 175 SMK in 1:9" twist .280AIs and 7RMs. For the 1:9" .223, I like the 69 SMK too.

I bet you its fake.

Prove me wrong. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not even higher.

I saw that it was going to be windy. I was going to go yesterday but had a few too many Tecate Lights on Friday and didn't feel like getting up at 3AM to get to Woods by 5:30. I'll probably break out the Kodiak and head up Friday.

Last time I was at your house, I took these from you. You should tell the story. I found it the Geiger counter in my buddies shack he was clearing out and selling it with the rest of the stuff I got from him. Looks like one of the connectors is broken and can be replaced.

Fished Rosy on Saturday. Launched from Schoolhouse and went to the Salt end trees. No dice. Changed it up and hit some coves across from Grapevine and SH. War Eagle chartreuse spinnerbait, fairy wand with oxblood robo, and weightless senko in green pumpkin was the ticket. Fished the rip rap and boated 25, biggest at 3#.

I'll take it

After failing to locate any birds yesterday I was able to get a bird to gobble from are camp just after dark. This morning we set up on him and by 5:35 bird down he came in right off the roost put on a little show for us and Tessa made a 20 yard shot to seal the deal what a great hunt.

I dont do the surveys, but my own observations and guys I hunt with all agree #'s keep declining.

Well I know a few guide services too, and I know they use planes to scout with during season. They don’t have their name attached to the plane and therefore are not risking their business. Same will happen with the cameras. They will pay people under the table to run them and when or if they are caught they have deniability.

No, your comment didn’t show flaw, only your own obsurd flaw. Most common sense people see an enormous difference between the use of trail cameras and hunting from helicopters. Staying on topic, current hunting freedoms are slowly being chipped away at and if your ok with that then fine. Most of us see this as not a camera debate but a larger issue of hunting rights being taken away. Eventually, it will be a right you enjoy and utilize in your hunting tactics. When that day comes you will wonder why a lot of fellow hunters are not on your side. It’s because we as hunters sit around b!tching about what others are doing instead of supporting each other regardless of personal opinions or preferences. Personally, I’d like long range hunting banned and I believe it will eventually come. Hunting period is under assault and will probably disappear too. I honestly don’t care if trail cameras are banned, just don’t like how easily we are allowing it to happen.

The few cameras that I used were never on water, they always got stolen, In the last 10 years I've had probably less than 5 maybe only 3 people show up on my cameras. To me personally a camera has never been part of my "real" scouting. I know a bunch of people that used them in that way just not me personally. I use them to take pictures and something to check in the summer before my scouting begins. I sure enjoy seeing what the animals look like in my area that year.

I’m to the point I hope they ban all trail cameras all the time. Then I hope they move on to binoculars over 8 power, scopes over 8power and range finders over 300 yards. Eventually they will ban hunting all together. Its like the Democratic Party going after guns, they start with high capacity magazines then move to semi automatic rifles and before long they have all guns. The country deserves what it gets for electing Biden and y’all get what you deserve for pushing bans on things you deem “not fair chase”.

I combined some of the best footage over a three month period from one of my best trail camera spots.
