Hit 'em!

A new guy showed up.....but I'm not getting up that early (or staying out that late)!

man that is a great camera, i'll have to save my $$$, great pic's!!!

that fat a$$ doe looks like she's about to have a heart attack! What's here name? Rosey?  :D

awww now thats cold, the doe ain't no where near that fat and ugly!  

Ken: I think the Cuddebacks take the best pics. i  have two and will probably get a couple more before next season.  I do have an observation this year. We have numerous pics of some very nice bucks. However, unless they are day time photos we only get one or two pics of the same deer at any one time, except for the does. I am concerned that the flash bothers them. I did a little experiment last week. I put a bag of apples out of range of the camera and all of them were eaten in a day. Near the camera they get eaten more slowly. I can't prove it's the flash and this is the first year (of 5 or 6) that this seems to have happened. Perhaps the bucks just like to keep moving. Since last week we have had bucks come in as close as 10 yards of our stands right at dark. They approach the baits and move on undisturbed (they haven't busted us, yet). My guess is they are sight checking feeding areas for does. Maybe it's time for my decoy to make an appearance.

Awesome deer, Bill. Hope you and your wife get one.  Jawge

Dang man when the deer are close you gotta remember to breath.  I had a monster hog under 5 yds one time on the ground and was trying to get a shot.  I realized I had been holding my breath and the black was coming in from the edges when I finally shot and missed.  Ever since I have told myself "BREATH",

I started another thread with this pic but will add it here. I love those Cudde backs. Keeps you optimistic. This was at my wife's stand yesterday.
