Ok, back from the bear hunt and settled in so I suppose I will be the last to introduce myself.

My name is Craig and I am from extreme SE MN. I am 27 years old and have been bowhunting for 11 years with 17 deer to my credit. Nothign too large, about a 120" 9 pointer is my biggest buck but where I hunt is one of the top B&C producing counties in MN. I tend to be very picky in the bucks I shoot because in MN you can only tag one buck/year, so if I shoot a buck during bow season, my gun season is then over and done with too. I shoot a63lb Hoyt Razortec with goldtip arrows and 100 gr Thunderheads. I just got the Hoyt this year and retired a 9 year old golden eagle. Talk about comingout of the dark ages huh?!?!

I have had my game camera up most of the summer andhave gottena few very nice bucks on it. All summer long I got pictures of bucks and does in bean fields during shooting hours but within the last week as most bucks velvet has come off I have noticed quite a change. I am still getting pictures of does in these fields during shooting hours, butthe bucks have gone completely nocturnal. I haven't gotten any buck pictures during daylight hours.[:@]

Glad to be on your team everyone!
