I voted "save for a year". I put all of mine on an external Hard drive, along with my other pictures. I have it organized by location and then name each set of pictures by the date range of pictures taken. I also have a file of "good ones" I have probably around 2k pics saved.

WOW, Some stud bucks for sure. I hope you get to have a chance at one.

I usually end up carrying a S&W 638, an aluminum 5 shot 38sp. or a XD45 compact. The smith weighs next to nothing and very easy to carry. I can also cary a round or two of snake shot. Sometimes i carry the XD. Up to 14 rounds of 45acp, or 11 rounds with a shortened grip. I have never had my xd jam, stove pipe, or hiccup. It goes bang every time.

I heard somewhere #4 buck is a great deturrent to cordless grinder weilding theives. I lock my stuff up just to keep the honest guys honest. I also try and keep them far enough in and secluded enough that the guys haulin bolt cutters cant get in. I use a custom one enterprises lock box with a python lock on my expensive camera. On my 50 and 100 dollar wildviews i use 1/4 in aircraft cable with a padlock. Any guy packin a hatchet or bolt cutters can steal ANY of my rigs. I've heard of guys cutting down trees to get a camera. Camera theives are the same as any other theif. They don't care how much stuff they have to tear up to get to your goodies.

I grew up pretty secluded from other houses and people. I used to cruize around with a wrist rocket or bb gun. Also had a place up north to hone my skills. I was always buildin traps or snares or somethin when I was little. It kept me out of trouble. My dad never preasured me into going out with him. I was always buggin him. I went on many big game hunts before I finally drew my tag. It was a cow elk when i was 10. I didn't wanna use a 25-06 and I hated the lever action 30-30. So I used a 243. 100 yard shot. It was a hunge confidence booster for me expecialy to watch how excited my dad was. I never understood how excited he was until helped my sister bag her first animal, a javalina I was very fortunate drawing tags when i was younger. I would draw a deer and javalina tag every year. I think I was 16 when i first put in for a whitetail hunt and I haven't looked back since. Every late start in high school we would either go varmint calling or hunt quail, whatever was in season. After school when it was archery deer season we would go sit tanks in the afternoon. I lived real close to saguaro lake, so we would fish that a couple times a week before the big fish kill a few years back. I grew up in a HUGE hunting family. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins. Now i get to pay my dad and family out as much as possible. My dad has a bum back so I usually pack his stuff for him. I kinda owe it to him, he did for me for a long time. I try and make it so he is just the trigger man.

+1.... -1 that stuff makes me mad. I end up eating it in about one minute.

Thats a good tune, along with copenhagen and copenhagen angel, but i prefer copenhagen junkie

I looked this thread up last week, knowing september was getting closer. Good to hear they are still in the works

I thought matbe that first pic was taken off of Desertbull's new expiremental foodplot he was talkin about the other day

For 250 you could get a scoutguard sg550 and a lock box. All you would need is a 17 dollar python lock, and you would have a tough rig to rip off. i got 871 pics of my last set of 8 AA's

The one on Greenfield and mckellips had 3 or 4. they were the VGA .3mp w/ the little flash so i didn't pick any up. I did see a white f-350 4 door w black fender flares w/ a cw.com sticker, maybe he cleaned them out after i left.

Thanks for the heads up. I've got a couple of 1.3's WV's they have worked out great for me. I Live in NE mesa so I may be able to check around tomorrow and see if the ones around here have any. That depends on when my wingman gets off work, gotto go look for bears.

Well thanks for the info. My dad has a 25-06 he wants me to to load up some stuff for. Seems like every time i find him a money load for one caliber he's got somethin else he wants to get shootin again. Looks like im on the right track, I've got some 4350 and some 110 A-bonds

My vote is for leica. The lrf or crf. Seems to me like those work more consistantly than the geovids. The geovids are great when they are working good. They rarely want to work well for me at long ranges. I have never used a swaro. for small pocket sized i have an old nikon 600 i like

I always liked the black and white silhouette logo on the bottom left. I'm another fan of "coueswhitetail.com" down the sleaves, even for a few extra bucks. I have a couple shirts from "bassaholics" with screen printing on the sleeves, they are pretty cool looking.

Great photos and stud rams to boot. Best of luck oon the hunt.

That sux. I think I am more worried about someone finding my spot that stealing my camera. I can manage to lose a hundred bucks. I would hate to have some idiot find my spot and tell his friends about a honeyhole i have hundreds of dollars of gas and tons of time into. When i see a salt or cam I turn around and find a new spot. I found some pretty sweet spots that i just leave alone. 18 different bucks is alot. I'm sure you had your time put in there.

Thats right, mail only as I know it. They wont open envelopes or accept them if they arrive before the date posted. Ive always done the same as coues7, drop it off at the post office friday after pick-up. Any body know if there has been leftover leftovers in recent years. It would be interesting to see the leftover stats from a few years back up till the coming years, to see what all this oppurtunity has done

Id stay with young somethin, maybe I am just partial. im not too young any more but i am still younger than most guys with the coues bug. Besides young is just a translation for "walks many miles fast"

As i understand it first and second choices are in the "first round" fallowed by third and fourth. whick means that they look at your first and second choices at the same time. This is how is was explanied to me. With the drawing process anything is possible. I know people who drew rifle bull hunts 4th choice, dec whitey tags third and so on. One guy on here drew his 2nd choice pig tag and there were left over tags for his first choice. I think most of the oddities are caused by checks bouncing and other payment issues but who knows.

After Coues Sniper was askin about cameras, i decided i needed some more. Anybody try the scoutguard. Chasinggame.com gave it a pretty good review; http://www.chasingame.com/reviews_scoutguard.htm I was wondering how they were before I was the $200 guinea pig. Youtube has a bunch of clips from one too.

Well third time is a charm. this is the third time this summer this yote has left me a little present. My camera always missed the money shot. but i got him this week.

Well i just pulled the card, and im pretty impressed. It took 300 pics, good quality photos. Im using a "custom1enterprises" lock box which is pretty slick. here are some sample photos
