    I really thought the video was a little better than it turned out, only got to watch it once on stand and that was through a 3" viewer on the cam. Looks like he is a decent 10, definitely has brows, wasn't sure initially, just hard to tell how long they are, look decent.

    I really need to figure out a way to get a camera arm going, looks more like bigfoot footage than a deer hunt. I got a little excited on the call trying to make it loud and made a kazoo instead. Would not leave the doe, but he is the biggest I have seen on stand since I started hunting.

    I'm gonna say he'd gross in the high 150's to low 160's. Hope you give him a dirt nap.

    Sadly, I doubt he lives long enough for me to see him again. Shotgun season this next weekend. Although he has lived through a few ruts so who knows. He almost slipped up, came in to 45 yards and the doe led him away.

    Looks over 150 to me. You looked a little panicked when you couldn't find him. Haha

    Yeah, I could see him without the camera fine. Atleast where he was, but once zoomed in and losing him it's hard to find him again without zooming back out and using trees to reference.

    Sure wish he would have come in another 15-20 yards, I thought he was going to at first, trail leads right into the opening. That's hunting I guess.

    You don't happen to have the M.A.D. buck growl call, do you? Thats the way mine used to sound. I've had two and they become useless after a while. Got the Primos buck roar and you can throw out some very LOUD grunts and not sound like a duck...good call. Anyway back on subject, hes a dandy buck. Good luck teammate!!!

    Yes it is, picked it up last year on clearance for $7. Had the true talker before that but it would freeze up in the cold weather. I'll check into the Primos, thanks for the heads up. My excitement and seeing him going the wrong way didn't help much either.

    Thanks, I'm trying to put some more points on the board. Rough going thus far.
