bout time

Had over 80 pics from last night between 645pm - 545am this morning. 5 different bucks and a ton of doe. Wind was not in my favor so I had to sit in a stand I normally save for gun season. With the leaves gone and timber removed from logging i quickly realized it had to go. I found a nice transition area from field/hardwoods to bedding area with some thick stuff. Two fresh scrapes along the edge. It looks promising. ‘Bout Time Mike

Tough weekend for us. One deer in cut bean field at 620 am on my walk in, too dark to see what it was. Perfect conditions but no movement. All cameras have been dead including nighttime movement. Rain here for next two days .... ‘Bout Time Mike

Must be the day. I let them walk but it was tough to watch them sit there for 20 minutes ...... ‘Bout Time Mike

Just settled in. First sit for this stand this year. Pinch point between fields and bedding area ‘Bout Time Mike

That is my property. It is a 250 acre farm that the owner leases out to to Co-Op. I am at the mercy of what they plant and when they harvest. My “section” is between a bedding area and the crops. I either get movement first light/last light or not at all. I’d love to own a piece of my own to plant some plots but I cannot complain as I have somewhere to hunt ‘Bout Time Mike

You see more deer in one night than I do all season. I’m excited to see one or two a day out my way. Love following you guys and all the stories. Makes for my long “eventless” sits tolerable ‘Bout Time Mike

Anyone try to start rattling or grunting with any success? Thinking with the cold weather approaching this weekend I may try it ‘Bout Time Mike

Rained just stopped and deer are moving .... tonight should be great ‘Bout Time Mike

Oswego county wind is ripping and temp is 55 but feels like 30s as it’s going right through me. A good sway in my tree, and not even a squirrel to be seen. 30 more minutes hoping for something to show itself ‘Bout Time Mike

Haven’t been out in a week due to my wife having back surgery. She had a good today and told me to go out this afternoon. Been getting a lot of deer on my cameras all week so my hopes were high. Just heard a different pattern of leaves crunching from the squirrels. Sound was getting closer and coming my way. I stand up and grab my bow and wait for it to come. Then it shows up. Someone’s 60lb dog running loose ...... still feels good to be back in a stand ‘Bout Time Mike

Been dealing with same issues on 2 SPYPOINT cameras for over a month. Both Link-Micro. I’ve been on phone with support 2-3 times a week and there nothing more to do or try. I also noticed placement is super important. Sometimes changing tress just 15’ away makes A difference. I also have a Moultrie and so far no issues with that one....(knock on wood) My cameras worked fine for a month or better and then just stopped. Did everything mentioned, new SD, formatted, new firmware, batteries etc. they work as a “normal” camera and just store the pics on the SD card. There is a TRANSMIT folder on the SD card where you can see that the pics loaded but never get sent to the server or my phone ‘Bout Time Mike

Another one out there that has vast amount of draw weight/length is the Diamond SB-1. I have no experience with this one but did see it in stores last year. Same easy adjustment with just an Allen screw ‘Bout Time Mike

My son has the mission craze. Great bow and crazy amount of adjustment. Easy to adjust and change as he grows. It’s a fun bow to shoot ‘Bout Time Mike

The games have begun. We decided we Weren’t going to do all day sits just yet due to lack of daytime deer movement on our cameras. Got out of stand at 1130 to be back at camp for lunch at 12. While there my phone goes off and wouldn’t you know it...... ‘Bout Time Mike

Not putting the cart before the horse but rather being pro-active. Looking for everyone’s choice of taxidermist especially any one that does black bear. I have put a ton of time in on my property and have some great bears on camera. Talking with the wife she said she would rather have a full mount versus a rug if I am able to harvest one I don’t want to rely on the internet and get something back I’m not happy with. I’m willing to travel if I can find a good one. ‘Bout Time Mike

It’s a Raymarine C120. It’s older but works awesome for what I need ‘Bout Time Mike

Couple from the weekend ‘Bout Time Mike

Def. staging fish. When they school That way they are generally harder to trigger a strike. Can be frustrating but when they turn on it can be insane ‘Bout Time Mike

Traveling together. Have seen them almost every day in the bean fields

Had the same thing happen to us with the probe battery pack while fishing the invitational. I stripped the wire back and wrapped It around the battery coil spring allowing us to finish the day with the probe working, but looks like this may be a design/manf. flaw
