    I had this same problem last year, I can get the image uploaded and when I click preview signature it shows up so I save it and it doesn't show up in my posts. Might be something With the iPhone, but it worked for the avatar and I can see it in the preview. I'll try again from the PC when I get home

    Yeah, he still hasn't been back since the 15th. Hopefully he'll check in, still plenty of time.

    All we can do now is hurry up and wait. Flip that calendar page in 6 days and know its only 30 days away. Football season stats up in a week so that will help pass the time.

    I don't get the time to travel to the property I hunt frequently so my trail cakes won't go out until my first sit. I'd love to learn the other end of the property though, but its hard going against what I know works. Would love to join the 200 point club this year, would have been about 5" shy in '11 but I failed to get an antlerless on the ground with the bow. I'm striking early this year, last year taught me a valuable lesson on taking the opportunities as they present themselves.

    I'm just hoping Mom Nature gets this heat out of her system, and brings us some nice crisp mornings come October.

    With this heat, it's a chore to even get motivated to pull cards once in the while......let alone try to shoot a few arrows in the evening. It's just not much fun with sweat dripping off of your nose after the 3rd arrow! :sad:

    Wooo... My Primos Buck Roar just came in via Amazon... I took the suggestion of a great friend of mine and he recommended it... I am happy with it... Sounds very legitimate with all the sounds it reproduces... The true test will be once I enter the woods to see if I can draw in that Monster

    I have heard very little against the Primos Buck Roar.

    I use the buck roar and love it, never had it freeze up on me like the true talker would. I'll even use it backwards at times, inhaling instead of exhaling into it, doesn't sound bad actually. Keeps it a bit muffled when the buck is close, haven't had one was snap and state at me yet like I have using them normally. Might be more psychological though

    I've not used calls much, but with all the good things I hear about the Buck Roar Call, I might pick one up and give it a go this year.

    If it helps put some points on the board for Team 16, it will be worth every penny! :tu:

    My buddy I film with has the buck roar I believe, has some pretty decent success with it. Also has the pack rack which I was skeptical about but worked great last season. That being said I still believe the setup determines success much more than the quality of sound made.

    Aviator looks great, team 16 is coming along nicely, now for some points on the board!

    I believe since Powerhawk started the thread he just needs to edit the title and add our name.

    Request submitted, had thought about it earlier but wasn't sure about having someone else's thread title changed. Hopefully he's good with it as only a mod/admin can edit titles.

    Well I brought my buck roar with me to work just to play with it and get used to it and used to the different calls it makes and what not... I happened to come across a herd of deer... I think they are known as herds... Anywho... I stopped my car and started grunting and the deer actually started to wander across the field in my direction ...I was kinda surprised... Then i gave a LOUD grunt to spook them because I didnt want to draw them into the road way to cause an accident just thought it was neat

    FYI this was done on a backroad and there were no cars around me at the time :)

    Great Team name and avatar guys! Well all my stand work is done out at my property and the deer sign is looking great. I pulled cards on 3 of my cams but I only had time to check 1 card so far. Here are a few pics of bucks on the property.
