Nice job, congrats on the first of many!

What an awesome bull! I look forward to hearing more about it.

Awesome! Congratulations.

We need to see some pictures of those pups!

Awesome, thanks for posting the story and a huge congratulations!

Very nice bull, congrats and thanks for the great write up.

Nice job team Adam!

Nice! Can't wait to hear more.

Congratulations to the little lady!

That's an awesome bull!

Keep at it, you'll find them. It only gets tougher after opening day. They go from no pressure to a forest full of hunters educating them real quick.

Sweet and congrats! I'm seeing some nice bulls out of 27. I still have a few buddies hunting the unit so I hope to see a few more (just not to many)!

Congratulations! Thanks for getting things started on here!

Just saw a picture of a monster that went down this morning, but I'll let the hunter give details when ready.

I'm hearing from some buddies of some bulls hitting the ground this morning. Sure hope to see some pictures soon. Like I told one of my buddies, until I see a picture, it didn't happen.

I second that, all you tag holders (who obviously aren't reading this because you are out hunting) need to get on the ball. I need something to kill the next 8 hours while I am at work coveting all you out in the hills.

Agreed!

Welcome! I ate there several years ago when it was Trophy's. Looks like I need to get back there again.

I got this great idea for a Digiscope adapter from DesertBull and modified it a bit for my Samsung Galaxy S3. All it cost was $2.39 for the couplings (sold together) at Home Depot and a little hot glue. You'll note that I hot glued the white female coupling to an extra phone case that I can easily slip my phone into. The reason I went with the two piece is because it allows me to buy different size black male couplings (also sold at Home Depot) and screw them into the attached white piece to hopefully allow me to use this with my binos. This particular 1.5" black piece fits perfect over my Vortex Viper 15-45 x 65 scope. I'm happy with the results but have an idea for modification/improvement: You'll notice that the picture zoomed all the way in on the pine cone is smaller than the rest. This is because of the distance from the phonecam lens to the scope lens. Using a piece(s) that minimizes the space between the two lenses should result is a larger frame and perhaps clearer picture. I might try another version of this adapter and eliminate the white female piece, and use only a short 1.5" piece to bring the lenses together. The pictures below are of the pine tree poking up in the middle of the frame (about 150 yards out)

The camera is centered about a half an inch from the top on the phone.

Nice job!

It's good that he is nervous and is really working hard. My son was the same way last year. From my experience with my son and the rest of the kids in his class, if the kids show up, pay attention, and give a 100% effort, the instructors won't let them fail.

Been there. It's been a few years and I'm still haunted by the 115-120 class buck I gave a haircut.

Fished the Greer Lakes over Labor day weekend. The fishing was terrible, we didn't get a bite. Neither did anyone fishing around us. Decided to let the kids catch crawdads. Lots of those! The bulls were bugling a bit, but quit shortly after sun up.
