    Well I didn't get any pictures from this last weekends trip... We fished all day Saturday and between the 3 of us out we left with 10 walleye, 15 perch (biggest was 15in), and 3 good sized northerns. Great trip.

    Checked the cams last night and was not impressed... Had the cam out for 3 weeks and had 200 pictures on my Monster Raxx site - Granted I had not refreshed it in a month and a half/2 months. Refreshed the site and pulled the card, this is by far the most antler growth we have so far:

    I've seen some decent antler growth as well on my mineral sites. Gets a fella excited to see how big they get

    That could still be a decent buck, he is already bigger than some of the 1 1/2 get.

    I'm hoping so.

    Think I am leaving them out for a month this time around... Just refreshed the Monster Raxx site so it should get hit hard in the coming weeks.

    The AG fields on the property are leased to a farmer... Have trail camera pictures of him out there with a giant backhoe/excavator - Not exactly sure what they are up to yet, guess we will have to see in the coming weeks.

    Shot the bow at 20, 30, and 40 yards yesterday.... Think I need to bring it to the range. My groups are WAY off.

    Not sure if it's just me, but I was not expecting them to be that off. I'm still a noobie at adjusting the sight, etc so I think it will be best to bring it in.

    I'm not even sure... Our rain gauge is broke but the few farmers we spoke to said we got 2.75 inches on Friday night alone. We probably got another 1-2 inches on Saturday as well.

    I'll get pictures of the lake in our field when I get home - They definitely won't be planting anything this year.

    An idea of the "lake" in our field. For size comparison, that is a commercial chicken barn that holds 50,000 chickens. I'm sure it has to be at least 4-5ft deep in the middle.

    Sounds like a plan. Let me know how you like your quiver. I'll be looking to upgrade within the next year.

    Sat for 2 weeks - Had just under 2,500 pictures. Still waiting for a daytime picture of the albino.

    Any idea why the deer have ignored my Raxx site?? Had over 1,500 pictures after the first month, refreshed the site and let sit for 3 weeks and had 80 pictures.

    Probably the fresh green up in the woods, many new food sources. They will be back.

    I'm hoping this is the case... They hit our salt lick hard that's on the other side of the property. Had over 2000 pictures during that timeframe... Might have to move the Raxx to the north side of the property.

    I don't think it could be the camera. It's a brand new Covert and every picture I got looked good.

    Not looking good for our AG fields... When I checked the cams they had tilled/sprayed it but nothing was planted.

    The deadline for planting corn and still be eligible for full insurance benefits if the crop fails passed on 5/31... The deadline for planting soybeans and to still be eligible for full insurance benefits is today 6/10.

    I hope to see something planted in the coming days.
