    Think I finally got it. Did it from my computer because it wasn't working from my phone.

    Pulled two cards tonight from the same property. Several decent deer and one that I have history with from last year that I would shoot. Maybe 150" as an 8pt. Only 14-15" wide, double crab claws, and a split G2. The others have potential but I think they need another year. One solid mid 30's 8pt, a nice heavy 10pt that has short tines but good mass, and several others that I need to take a look at. Prob 12-15 different bucks there right now. Plan on pulling a card from another farm this weekend when I get off duty Friday morning, or maybe Saturday afternoon.

    Pretty slow start to the year for me.... this is unfortunately the biggest deer I've got a cam so far. I've got video of him from last year also and he looks identical just bigger. He needs a name..... any ideas?

    That's awesome. Shot my doe out of a clover plot last year. I was sitting about 10 yards inside the woodbine looking out into the field. As for the pics, no idea, 99% of my time on the forum is on my phone.

    I have been hunting for as long as I can remember but only started bow hunting about 10 years ago. Been bear hunting in the Canadian bush with the bow, deer (obviously), and turkeys...coming soon, bow fishing! I pay for my addiction by overworking at two different jobs in law enforcement. I also train police K9s...wait...that's like 3 jobs... I need a vacation! The closer bow season gets, the closer my vacation gets!!

    Been hunting in Central WI for the last many many years. I wont get into numbers on that one... Cant wait for the leaves here to start dropping and the fun to begin!!

    Any other brave soul's? :poke:

    I'm a superintendent for my family owned commercial construction company. I've been hunting for 15 years but only been bow hunting for 5. I am fully addicted and probably should seek help :). I cannot wait until this season starts so I can get my fix! 42 more days!!!

    I guess I can elaborate a little more
    I have been hunting on and off since I was about 10 collectively I have been bow hunting for about 11 years.
    I was never really much into gun hunting.
    2009 was the first time I picked up a compound bow until then I only used a recurve.
    I am married with 3 daughter's 8, 5, and 18 months. My girls love to be involved with all of the hunting and fishing I do. Audrey my 8 year old won first place at this years GTG in the kids shoot.
    I will be taking a family hunting vacation to Canada this September.
    Then once I get home it will be time to get ready for our clubs season to start and hunt my but off while trying to get some good stuff for the show.

    My wife's family got me into deer hunting when we met 22 years ago, been bow hunting since 2007. I have been a Deputy with a local S.O. for 22 yrs (13 in K9) and a part time fire fighter for 10 yrs. Got 2 kids, my son is 15 and my daughter is 12. Bow hunting has become an addiction for me...Think I got the wife convinced to go on an Africa hunt with me (Not for Cecil the lion either, another MN hunter already got him).

    Just hoping to contribute some points to the team. Anyone want to exchange cell numbers PM me, I did that with a couple guys on teams last year and it worked out pretty well...

    Been bow hunting for 12 years, used to film everything but took a break for 3 years and now I'm getting back into it. Usually hit 2 or more states a year but now that I'm a father I tend to stay more local and hunt smarter. I may not be in the woods all the time but I'm always scouting! I only strike when the time is right! I'm a career Firefighter of 11 years in Columbus, OH. My 5 yr old son LOVES being out in the woods with me and loves checking trail cams and riding his quad. I'm an avid waterfowler and dog trainer. I used to train Brittany spaniels for upland hunting but got bit by the waterfowl bug 10 years ago and now enjoy raising and training labs. I'm also an avid food plotter, love providing and putting back more than I take. Here's a pic of my boys....
