    No, I hunted a different spot about a mile away. We've gotten one pic of him there. The wind wasn't good for my spots close to that camera. It's way too early in the season for me to gamble on a bad wind.

    Fitz we've coined a buck on our property blade as well...however he'd be Blade Jr. in comparison! I pray you get a chance at this bad boy this year!!!

    It works. I did a short feed last year. It sucks down the batterylife though and video quality wasn't that great. Depending on how it plays out, I may look at going live on my next recovery :deer:

    That reminds me, I should put my Ustream channel in my sig for such an occasion.

    Makes this old farm hunter jealous. Man, that is doing her right...none of that 4-wheeler stuff...just a couple of fellas with bad intentions, bows and a canoe.

    Still trying to firgure out when I'll be headed out next. I want to swap my cameras around, putting my new cam where I've been getting Blade pics, and put the other between there and where I think he's bedding. Rain tomorrow so it just might happen then.

    I didn't realize blade had all those stickers around his bases when I saw the pictures in velvet. You seriously need to put him down Fitz! :deer:

    Alright, here's the plan. Sara has to leave for the weekend, sometime tomorrow morning. So, I'm going to head out tonight. The Wind is WNW, so I'll be sitting on the N edge or the beaverdams. I'll be sitting a a birch I hunted out of some last year. It's across the dam and Slightly W of where I shot my does the last couple years.

    This will be about 80 yds from my trail cam that I get all my pics of Blade & Buster. I'm excited for my first trip to that part of the lake. Now, I just need Sara to get back from running errands so I can jump in the shower!
