thunderbolt

i've been looking at other forums and the same topic came up. A lot of guys are saying they use thermacell. Don't know anything about the stuff except i've seen it advertised on tv.

GOOD LUCK to all who have elk tags. I envy you guys!!! The rut, the country, the cool fresh air, the family and friends to spend it with, hearing the bugling by the camp fire all night long, the rut, oh did i say the rut man i miss that stuff. I've had three archery cow tags and haven't tagged a thing. Tagging an elk would of just been the cherry on top. HAVE A SAFE TRIP AND GOD BLESS.

i lightened the first two picks for you. Nice bucks second pic

I agree with Jamaro, i always leave the gate the way i found it.

i usually leave mine for months. I had a spot where i had two salt licks within 70 yds of eachother and both were getting nailed. one trailcam on each spot and one spot had nothing but does and the other had does and bucks. the one that had does never had any bucks in any pictures. only 70 yds apart and not any sign of a buck. go figure.

Wow nice bucks! It always gets discouraging when you sit on a place for so long and nothing comes in, then you get a brand new picture and it gives you knew life. good luck and stick with it.

Now that was a good one.

Those are some nice pics! Keep them coming

i have a program that i got off the internet called picasa.(its from google) you can crop, enlarge, enlighten, make slide shows, all kinds of stuff. ITS FREE. try it, i think you'll like it

finally some buck pics. notice the salt block, they are tearing it up. up close shot more finally a decent one last one

This really ain't a sunset, but last weekend at big lake it hailed so hard it looked like snow. hope some of you guys run into weather like this during the rut they''ll really be making some noise last one

thedesertbuck, i thought you would like to have that picture of the deer lightened and enlarged. check your pic out now.

i'm using a mineral salt block that i put down in march. when i first put it down i put molasses on it. the editing program i'm using is called picasa.(from google) I import my images from from my memory card and i can edit the pictures. I began resizing the pictures using a program i got off the internet called PIXresizer. the program seems to work great. both programs were free downloads. close-up

here's a test pic of a bear from last week

Well i got this picture from my cam the other day and i couldn't figure out if this was an ear or antler. I think its an antler, just wanted any of your opinions. the picture was a bit blurry cause the deer was moving and i resized the picture using a downloaded program. hope it don't come out too bad

nothing for me. the other half said any weekend cc hits wont show till monday on the internet.(az credit union). not too concerned about deer just really hoping for my first archery bull tag.

i live in safford

A good friend of mine Billy G borrowed my trail cam last year and took some pictures of a nice buck up in the pine trees. He had several tries at the buck but never really showed himself. I think the buck might have winded him. I had to promise not to say a word about the area and i had to promise that once he took me to the area that i would leave the big guy for him. first time posting pics hope they work. some more pics last ones

I could see the cloud from safford today. It looked like a rain cloud. I even asked someone if there was rain in the forcast. That pic doesn't do it justice, that cloud was huge.

Man guys those are some great stories! My biological dad was never around and my stepfather stepped in and showed what it was like to be a dad. He taught me everything about life especially hunting and fishing. Man all those camping trips, fishing trips with all the familly, i miss those days!!! Now is the time to bring those memories back and make new ones before it is to late. To all those fathers, Happy fathers day!!!!!

there were a lot of smaller bucks in that area with that big one. we looked 4 times for several hours and have not found any sheds at all. i have never found sheds while shed hunting, i only find sheds when i'm out there hunting.

its called deer buck jam. he had put it on a dead log and around it. i tried the buck jam in a completely different area but i didn't get this much attention from the deer.

well i'm considered the highest paid babysitter in safford az, don't do the crime if you can't do the time. i've been a correctional officer for 8 years there is really no services i can provide unless you consider strip searches a service.

PSE Thunderbolt 28 in. draw 73 pounds Goldtips 5575 100 grain broadheads trophy ridge drop zone 275 fps I'm happy with it.

Well i went from no tags last year to unit 31 coues first hunt tag and unit 27 cow elk tag. Can't wait . Good luck to all and i'll be thinking about you guys who didn't get drawn when i'm up in those cool pine trees. Just kidding ,,, been there before. sad thing is it won't be the last time.
