Huntin’ Time Expo/My Lack of Posts
It's absolutely no secret that I've been neglectful of this blog lately. Some evidence: I never posted a few of the deer that Justin shot. I didn't post anything about Jeff, Barry, Erin, and Josh heading down to the ATA show in Columbus a little over a week ago. And I've never posted anything about the fact that SimplyOutdoors TV will be airing on the Pursuit Channel starting in January 2...
End of Deer Season: Maybe I Stink
Last night I cleaned my muzzleloader.  And though I usually love the feeling that comes with cleaning any firearm, last night's cleaning kind of depressed me a little, because it was a sure sign that another deer season had passed and that I had once again went through an entire season without putting any venison in the freezer. As I was cleaning and reflecting back on the last couple of seaso...
Bittersweet Hunt: The Rest of the Story
In my previous post, I eluded to the fact that my miss last Sunday morning was only the beginning of a very memorable morning.  Here is the "rest of the story". After my miss, it was still only a little after 8am, so Jeff and I decided that we might as well stick it out for a little while and see if any other deer decided they wanted to eat out of his food plot. And that is when the weirdne...
Bittersweet Hunt
Though I had only been able to hunt a handful of times, the fact remained that I hadn't laid eyes on a deer since around October 8th.  It was making it pretty difficult to head into the woods, because I honestly wasn't sure if I was ever going to see a deer again; I was starting to wonder if I had a deer whistle permanently embedded within my body that was preventing them from coming within a hal...
Another Deer for Jeff
While I don't have much to celebrate when it comes to deer hunting, after tonight I can bask in at least one thing:  that I told Jeff about Hornady SST's, and that, because of my wisdom, Jeff was able to put down this big doe without fear of his bullet coming apart. Congrats to Jeff.  Welcome to the dark side, and say goodbye to Powerbelts.    

Another Big Buck on Trailcam

Posted By: Arthur on August 12, 2008 in Deer Cam Pictures, Hunting - Comments: 8 Comments »

picture-186.jpgMy sister’s boyfriend, Justin, who shot this hog a few months back, and also shot this huge carp, hit the jackpot when he went to check his trailcam this weekend.

The problem we have right now is figuring out who’s buck is bigger-Justin’s buck in this post, or Jeff’s buck from a post a little while back.  Apparently these food plots are really working.   The only challenge now is getting these big boys to stay around come hunting season.  It sure would be nice to have the kill shot of one these big ‘uns, right along side the trailcam shots.

picture-185.jpgI think I need to talk to my property owners again about a possible food plot next year.  It seems I’m the only one without a monster on cam.  I’m thinking a food plot might help me with that little problem.

All of us are on a role this year with the trailcam pictures.  After being rookies last year, at this whole trailcam thing, it is sure nice to see deer this size on them this year.  Of course, getting them on cam sure doesn’t guarantee a kill.  I bet it will keep Jeff, the cousin’s from South Carolina, and Justin in their stands a litte longer this year though.

    Those are some great pictures and should be some good motivation to stay in the stand just a little longer!

    Yeah, it’s interesting the power of knowing what’s out there can do in holding a person down in their stand for just a bit longer!

    We are new to the trail cams and food plots this year, and we are LOVIN them! It has deff changed my thoughts on how long to sit and what stand to be in. We have 1 realy nice buck on film so far and a lot of other critters too. I have been getting a big kick out of the cams.
