    ATK Looks like you got some pretty good prospects teammate! That's what I like to see - hopefully you can get in on one of them guys early on man! I'm all about getting things wrapped up as far as this contest is concerned early on, especially if one of the guys on the list shows up! lol

    I will have to do some searching of the threads to find the winning score for team 6 Last year. I all try to find that tonight after I get home from work.

    ATKbowhunter it sounds like you have a nice setup in that spot. You mainly planning to hunt theblind or stand 80 yards away? Are they setup for different wind directions?

    planning on starting the blind more at the begainning cause they seem to be showing up at the spot alot , but once the rut kicks in im think the stand cause its set up in that funnel and they should move threw there alot once they start cursing for doe and yeah on the wind the blind spot is down the hill in kind of a whole where my stand is up a hill and down the other side so wind comes up, i got a few other spots im hanging stands to in other locations dont want to over hunt this spot but planning on hopefully putting the smack down on one of these haha

    Hey I certainly don't want to get in the business of "marketing" another website on this forum - I figure this is a fairly private invitation to participate in the Mybuckstory.com Big Buck Contest. The rules are similar to this contest, however a much smaller set of players. The deadline is tomorrow, the contest is sponsored by Monster Raxx and they have a pretty sweet prize package for the winning team. Here is the link if your interested:

    what trail cameras do you all use? and how do you find and get big bucks on camera?

    personally, I use moultries. Have had great luck with them. currently running the dinosuar, an old outfiiter 3.0 digital that uses 6volt batteries, the 2010 5.0 IR moultrie, and the new M-80x, the m-80x is by far the best camera i have ever run. I can't wait to use the plot stalker feature on the plots, the last week of september! gonna pattern and kill ole heffe! lol

    As far as getting them on camera I use the minerals, (of course) then switch to scrapes once they open up. Also a bag of nice sweet apples in front of your camera will ussually do the trick. I have found sugar to work equally as well as salt.

    what do you do?

    Board Express on my phone is really pissing me off tonight. Its not letting me post.

    Welcome to the site and team Hoytchick! How about a little information about yourself. Besides being a BH.com BA e of the month a few months back! I am also curious if Richie is gonna let you hunt any of those spots where he finds those monster sheds?

    I hunt mostly public and I am not allowed to put cameras on that land near me. I actually just orders the M80 and can't wait to try it out on the new private spot I just acquired! Supposed to be a great camera!
