Whose mind is on hunting season already?

[vmax]

Lmao, don't think I'll get a good shot of a kill with the gopro, no zoom or anything. Thought it might be cool to have the gopro on me and another camera on a tripod facing out. No clue if I'll actually decide to use one or both.

I've wanted to do that with a shooting video and then use both feeds and do some nifty editing.
Yeah, the GoPro is an awesome wide angle lens but not good for close ups and detail

I've thought about getting s gopro. Tell me how it works out for you.

Will do, we should get another TGT range day going down here and I can bring it to let you check it out, wife got it for me last Christmas and don't get to play with it as much as I'd like

Kind of what I was thinking, I've messed around with it shooting, even got some cool video with it mounted on my AR.

Looking good CH, got any cameras set up near the feeders?

Yes. Have two. The first one needs fresh batteries and the second needs to be replaced. It's on my short list of things to do.
Here are a few older game pics.

Went pig hunting Sat night. Not a one showed up. Last week the cam showed then coming in at the same time every day.

Sat afternoon there was corn on the ground from the morning. That worried me Looks like for good reason. Something spooked their pattern. I didn't see one hog.

Possibly... did you try to cover your oder? Maybe the hogs found another food source closer.

I was gone a week. Looked like maybe one or two days corn on the ground. Plus I was in a blind that was downwind. I don't think I spooked them.

They roam down a creek, and hit three feeders. All three had corn on the ground. I was expecting pigs due to camera activity. Whatever spooked them happened before I got there.

I hope to have better luck when I take a friend and his nephew to the ranch this next month. 6 days... pistol shooting, rifle shooting, tannerite, hog and dove hunting. Can't wait...

Went hunting this weekend but had no luck as the land owner was planting wheat and was for the most part all over the place.

nice bow.. what let off is that model?

I believe it's 80% let off, got my drop away rest mounted up and started practicing from inside my blind sitting down. I'm dead on at 20 yards and in but I need more practice at 30+, didn't miss the target and all hits were in the kill zone just not as consistent as I'd like. I am still a bow novice but you gotta start somewhere.

I will murder z deers with this in Nov in the South Zone.

Brothers lease fell through. Several attempts of a lease for myself fell through.

I'll just have to make a couple long trips South to family land.

Planning on buying some land in the next several years that's closer to me. Hoping the ridiculous low interest rates hold out.

If you are going to use the assault rifle to kill the deer, make sure you bring some pepper as well to properly season.

(Sorry, someone had to go there....you know the media says you can't hunt with those evil black things....they are only used for bad things!)

It's 300BLK. Deer will probably walk off anyway, lol.

Anyone hunt with a crossbow?

My dad's been using one the last 3 years. Only shot a few pigs and a racoon.

 

[Mexican_Hippie]

Thinking about em cause you can use them during bow season.

It's neat but not for me. I prefer the typical compound bow.
