    Pulled a card this morning with 4,000 pics in 5 days. Confidence was in the dumps as I haven't scored any big bucks on camera all summer so I was getting excited that the does were still showing up during the day light hours and then out of no where...BAM. As of now, the does are on hold. Unfortunately I only got one nights pics of these bucks but at least now they know where they can find food and will (hopefully) come back and make a habit of it. Throwing out another 200lbs of corn this afternoon and staying out until next week. Some of the smaller bucks that I've been watching are starting to rub, anyone else?

    Still no sign of the big 10pt or choco horn 6pt from last season, but I'm staying optimistic.

    Nice bucks. Just curious but what camera is that? I've been looking at a covert mp8 black.

    Just another question. How does the mp8 black compare to the extreme white?

    This is a Covert Red 40...the best they make in my opinion. The MP8 is also a good choice and the best for the money, once again, my opinion. Can't really go wrong with any of their cams.

    I'm really looking at a red 40. I can get a good discount on one for $132 so I think I may get one or a stealth cam g triad.

    If I got the chance, I would love to take the 9pt on the left and put him on my wall. As much as I would love to pass them until next year, I don't know if I will be able to haha.

    As much as I hate asking this...what do you think the 9pt on the left scores? He looks about 120" to me

    I like it brother!! Lets hope the old boys stick around. Even if they don't chances are they will be wondering through once they start chasing. Good to know they are in the area! Lets see one up close this year. Good luck.

    Nice deer on ya. Its been hard scouting Fort Bragg this season. Hot and dry. Checking areas that were flooded with deer last year I dont see a single track. Ive never used trail cams, but I bought a few and Im going to set them out tomorrow in an area where I saw a hugh wide and tall 10pt. Best of luck to ya
