Rah, I would think you might want to set up camera's and after viewing pic's, then decide where to set up the climber. PS, I don't always follow this either but I should. Tracy

Interestingly, I have never shot the big buck that I was after from TC pictures near where the pictures were taken, but my sample size so far is only nine. I use a number of ladder stands that I rarely move. I am, however, planning to move three of the stands pretty soon based on educated guesses and to cover more of my land. Hunting from a slightly different spot is always interesting.

I keep 9 or 10 cameras @ my place and I try to stay out of the areas I am interested in hunting. I am also in the process of moving 1 stand and may get it done today. I don't really want to go into the area but better now than later. Placement of this stand will be based on a heavy trail I just found when prepping for a new forage pond. I was walking a drain toward the new forage pond. A camera will be place close by to see if it might be where I set the first day Good luck RAH, I am thinking u r also a bow hunter? Tracy

I love bow hunting. I would be happy if that was all that was permitted, even though I gun and muzzle loader hunt too.

RAH, I agree except I think we need a gun season for control of the herd. I only hunt with a bow and MZL and get more satisfaction from 1 bow kill than tree or four with the muzz.
Do nature a favor, spay/neuter your pets and any weird friends or relatives.

I have 4 times the range with a gun than I do with a bow, not to mention the movement factor.

After bowhunting a gun just seems like cheating....... especially if you are Esshup!!! Unfortunately we cannot use most centerfire rifle caliber guns here in Indiana for deer hunting. The brass has to be no longer than 1.8" (brass only - no projectile) and the bullet has to be at least .357" diameter. I use my Savage Muzzleloader in .45 caliber for the gun hunting season here.

I tired of deer hunting with a riffle yr's ago. Until I did a blk powder elk hunt a few yrs back. I like blk powder hunting, Thompson pro hunter is an easy deal. But I would really like to stumble across the savage u speak of. And I messed my shoulder up a couple weeks ago and had injection in the shoulder about 10 days ago, it has worked the past couple of yr's but seams slow helping this time. And it may stop any bow hunting till it gets better. I love bow hunting, truly what hunting is all about for me.

My 12 foot (not yards) shot to take a buck, from the ground (no blind) was very challenging last year even with a gun. The shot was not the challenge.

Not elk but they'll work for me. I'm hoping one of my daughters gets a shot at one of these this year. I've had two Moultrie M880's out for 3 years now without any problems. Batteries last about 6 to 7 months depending on how many pictures. They take pretty good night pics.
It's true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure, why take the chance? Ronald Reagan _______________ The good Brian

5 seconds away from having a shot at this guy. Prefect conditions. Then my buddy shot a cow with his muzzle loader and big boy took off. Maybe next year.

Great shot! Is he/she running and then clearing a fence, or just jumping for fun?
I see good pictures with a Covert tag, a Moultrie (880?) and now a Bushnell brand. Makes me want to research what is out there again. I'm looking for a wifi model although I'm close enough to the pond that I could retrieve and swap out memory cards too. Just sorting pictures might be easier if they dump via wifi to a network drive.

Yeh , He/She is jumping that section of downed fence. I have my camera set on 3 shot burst. The first was blurry and the third was it landing and turning. Like everyone else I'm mostly wanting to see big mature bucks but just thought this was an awesome shot.
I have been very pleased with the Bushnell's. Battery life a little over a year. I bought 3 on clearance 4 years ago for $79/ea. with mail in rebate. Still working great. Thanks.

CC , I think they were the Trophy Cam 5Mp. Not positive. I'm sure they've upgraded. I don't believe They accept the adapter but I really never checked. As I said for what I paid for them I've been super pleased.

We have some Chronic Wasting Disease in our deer herd in this area, and some people have stopped hunting, since some now are reluctant to eat them.
