We had a Cabela's open near me 4 or 5 years ago. The guy they hired to run the firearms department decided to throw out all the empty boxes sitting in the back. All of a sudden hundreds of new guns to sell with no boxes. He didn't have that job very long.
They seem to change their models every year so I can't say for sure. They are all good but I would recommend the ones that take 8 batteries. The ones that only take 6 are a step down, still good though.
Wrap-up:
I had 26 hunts which is really low for me but was more than last year. Of those 26 hunts, only 2 had no deer sightings. 137 deer sightings so 5.27 deer per hunt (personal record). 40 buck sightings so 1.54 bucks per hunt (personal record). Of those 40 buck sightings, 4 were four year...
December was pretty uneventful and then muzzleloader season opened on January 2nd. That morning, I had the right wind to hunt a really good bedding area. I was in the stand well before sunlight and settled in for a cold sit. About an hour after sun-up I was scanning the area in front of me with...
During the rest of November, I saw a ton of different bucks. I had another encounter with "Bob Lazar" on the morning of Nov. 18th. He popped out on a trail about 60 yards from me. I didn't even bother with the camera because he had to head either south right to me or north out of my life again...
On the morning of November 3rd, I sat overlooking a bedding area and saw two nice three year old bucks. In the evening I sat near where I saw "Bob Lazar" the morning before. I only saw two deer, a doe crossed the trail 80 yards in front of me and not far behind was "Bob Lazar".
The evening of November 2nd, I had a decision to make. Do I go to where I think "Bob Lazar" went to after fleeing from the coyote or do I sit in a stand that should be a little better in general? I chose to follow the alien fingers and that turned out to be the wrong decision. Here is what I...
Once the rut rolled around, bucks were running everywhere (see video). On November 2nd, I saw "Bob Lazar" right a daybreak. He was chasing a doe about 150 yards away from me but in timber thick enough that I couldn't get any video. The doe ran past a small buck and "Bob Lazar" ran the buck off...
My first few times out were fairly uneventful. I always tell myself to get a few does early in the season but I always seem to wait despite seeing lots of does. I did get a decent three year old to come by in range but I let him go.
Although "Dagger" was alive and well, I know getting one video at nighttime isn't an ideal situation to be in. Luckily, I did have a four year old buck spending most of his time on the property I'm hunting. This buck represented a very good chance at getting a shot. The first time I showed my...
I wanted to do a review of last hunting season for me but I didn't want to make a long video with voice-over so Im going to try and do a write-up with a few short videos "peppered" in.
I planned on going mule deer hunting in Wyoming but that damn point creep got me bad. For the unit I applied...
A little bit of an unusual woodworking project. The campground I work at had a big red oak that started leaning towards a cabin and had to be cut down. I cut a cookie of the butt and mounted it so the growth rings could be seen. I labeled when a few important events took place throughout the...
I know there are at least a few trail camera users here so I figured I would share this. A video I made on examples of what we might be missing by not utilizing the video capabilities of trail cams. I hope you like it.
