Great buck right there Doug...best of luck to you, hope you put a arrow in him. http://www.mikehanback.com/forum/messages.cfm?threadid=EBE27796-03B2-9115-CCFC889503D3C377&r=2 2010-09-07T19:11:33-04:00 1st Buck of 2010 That would be very cool to get one with a bow. I nicked a yote with my bow a couple years ago that i called in with some lip squeeks. http://www.mikehanback.com/forum/messages.cfm?threadid=E4C85E2D-0CC6-4463-7FB73276006661AA&r=3 2010-09-07T19:07:36-04:00 Potential pair of targets for next month... Sweet video, hope you can whack him this year....he's still a hell of a buck! http://www.mikehanback.com/forum/messages.cfm?threadid=E4E52926-B682-9BF9-125D80526D1CD0FA&r=4 2010-09-07T19:04:29-04:00 Difference a year can make DB, I knew you would respond! LOL! I will say the pics you have posted are very good quality with the Receonyx Cams. My wife is not in to hunting so the entire season is mine and mine alone. However! She was looking through some of the pics I have saved from my trail cams and she has started getting into printing out certain photos and framing them for my "MAN CAVE". I guess I will have to get off some of the "RUSTY MONEY" as she calls it and by some decent Cams to give her better quality pics to work with. http://www.mikehanback.com/forum/messages.cfm?threadid=EBE27796-03B2-9115-CCFC889503D3C377&r=5 2010-09-07T13:27:18-04:00 1st Buck of 2010 Very nice buck Doug! I would shoot him in a heartbeat... Trailhiker...as far as IR cams go it all depends on how much you have to spend. If you have the money, it is very difficult to beat a Receonyx. DB http://www.mikehanback.com/forum/messages.cfm?threadid=EBE27796-03B2-9115-CCFC889503D3C377&r=6 2010-09-07T12:06:27-04:00 1st Buck of 2010 good deal Doug. Best of luck. http://www.mikehanback.com/forum/messages.cfm?threadid=EBE27796-03B2-9115-CCFC889503D3C377&r=7 2010-09-07T10:23:38-04:00 1st Buck of 2010 Doug, Good looking Buck. What IR Camera do you have? I am looking at upgrading next year and want to get everyones opinion on the different brands and models. http://www.mikehanback.com/forum/messages.cfm?threadid=EBE27796-03B2-9115-CCFC889503D3C377&r=8 2010-09-07T08:49:49-04:00 1st Buck of 2010 Pulled the card from one of my cameras yesterday for the first time. Also put out my first IR camera. I'm pretty sure this is the same buck that busted me while I was drawing on him last year. Nice to see he still moves around during shooting light. I have a couple of stands in this marsh and know where he likes to move.

Very tought to draw on for sure.

That would make a sweet bow kill! I had a shot at one a few years back & he busted me drawing. Tough critters to bow hunt. I arrowed a coyote a few seasons back, though. Good luck! http://www.mikehanback.com/forum/messages.cfm?threadid=E4C85E2D-0CC6-4463-7FB73276006661AA&r=11 2010-09-06T23:26:02-04:00 Potential pair of targets for next month... Curt, my wife Crystal got into hunting a few years ago. She just gun hunts and we were able to get her first buck a two years ago. Now she isnt as obsessed with it as i am but she enjoys doing it. http://www.mikehanback.com/forum/messages.cfm?threadid=DAD0782A-0239-A86B-B0D7524E04B9E46A&r=12 2010-09-06T21:53:52-04:00 Does your spouse hunt? [quote]Man that 4pt has a big body on him...[/quote] Absolutely!..That is the same exact thing Mel and I said when we first saw him. Either he is a 2.5 yr old or he is just a jumbo yearling. DB http://www.mikehanback.com/forum/messages.cfm?threadid=E9CDDFA7-D62F-C102-F05026B56848F129&r=13 2010-09-06T21:44:10-04:00 September 5-6th Cool update dave...looks like you have a good spot picked out to hunt. Damn those chiggers are nasty. Never got into them and after seeing that i hope i dont. I have been busy as hell this past month too with my twin girls and moving...what a pain in the ass moving is. Now its time to get serious with shooting and stands and cameras. Im behind the ball but i'll make up for it. Good luck bud! http://www.mikehanback.com/forum/messages.cfm?threadid=E73F56CD-0FC2-BDED-F16DC84F193BF80C&r=14 2010-09-06T21:41:03-04:00 August Recap [quote]Looks good man...i have a couple Lone Wolfs myself...love them[/quote] I have had both an Alpha and an Assault. I like the Assault so much that I just bought two more.
