Trail camera pics
Yo Team 24,
Any new trail camera pictures. These are two bucks I probably wouldn't pass up in archery. The one with the stickers seems to be really young. Probably 2.5 years old. I would love to pass him up because I think he would be a stud next year. The 10 seems to be a little older. In my area these are pretty respectable bucks. To get a deer over 130 in this area is a real challange. Kind of curiuos what you guys have in mind when it comes to trophy bucks in your area. I saw those trail camera pics from dabowhnter and that one buck was a stud. Ryan,, that one in pittsburgh looks pretty nice also. PJ any pictures of the brut from Ill.

Well guys, I got boned at work. and I mean Hard. I work for the next 12 days straight and they're all crappy shifts like 2nd and one shift is 14 hours and theres 2 other 10 hour shifts, so Instead of being able to run to maryland one last time before the PA opener I'm screwed working till next friday till 345 AM. I should be really alive sitting in the treestand, I'll prolly just have the stuff packed in my truck and just sleep in the truck for an hour and head to the stand. MAN Did I ever get screwed!!! Ohh well its money and its hours. I'm looking at one of the mornings hopefully to take my trailcam and set it up. I'm fairly angry at what surprises the schedule had in store for me this morning.
ANNNNYYYYHHHHOOOWWW.
Dave, what part of PA are you from?
Where I'm from if you see brown, lay it down. This creates a MAJOR management problem. A nice solid buck from the Altoona area is like 100 inches. That's a good one, people get horn porn big time. Like they see a scrappy 6 point year and a half, and they are banging away at it. I'm thoroughly disappointed with my fellow sportsmen. I'm looking at around a 120" buck and its a biggen for the area I hunt. I hope to arrow him BIG TIME.

well as far trail cams go i got 3, but my hunting property is a couple hours away so i dont bring the pics back home with me until end of season. they stay up all season and i have my cousin check them and relay to me what we got. as far as bucks that i got targeted one is a nice 8 prolly in the 120's but hes 3-1/2 which he will get passed on. the one that i hope i see is tall 8 and he has some mass...140 for sure only have a few pics of him but he is nice...i seen him last year hot and heavy on a doe trail and i could not get him to stop, i did everything but throw my self on him. the bucks on our property range from 120-150, alot of nice bucks, but we have a few to many does, which we are going to thin out this year, im really hopeful cause i have done my home work this year, my season starts on saturday so i will let u guys know how is goes. here is a pic of the buck i took in 07. never really scored him but he is prolly high 120's maybe 130...he is tall and has some mass

Hey guys, just doing a quick check-in. I hunted all day on 9/15 and didn't see a thing. It was a bit warm and muggy. Talk about a let-down.
A good friend of mine just bought 160 prime acres about 1.5 hrs away and will be closing on the property in about 2 weeks. I'm eager to scope it out. I'll let you know what I see. Probably won't have a chance to hunt again until 10/2.

Ryan,
I live near Hazleton in the northeast part of the state. I agree with you hunting public lands is tough in Pa. Most hunters will shot anything with 6 points. In my area there seems to be less hunting presure over the last several years. I started my scouting this year in Jan. Looked at several different areas this year. I was a good year to scout due to the snow fall in our area. It stayed on the ground for quite a few weeks. I use my gps mark all the trails and beds and then transfer all the information to google earth.
Mike, thats a nice Ohio buck. I have heard good things about Ohio. Have several friends that travel to Slalenski State Forest and do well. Its about a 8 hr drive from my house. Been tempted to try it one of these years.
Clay, good luck hunting. Checking out a new hunting area is always cool.

Well guys my last two sits have been the most amazing ive ever had and i havent even release an arrow. Monday morning I had 4 longbeards come out strutting and gobblin like it was spring at 20 yards. Absoutly amazing, ive never seen anything like it in the fall. Then this evening i had 3 bucks come in( about an 70" 8 pt, a fork horn and a spike) and the 8pt and the fork horn were fighting right in front of me at 15 yards. First time ive ever seen something like this so i thought it was pretty cool. BTW, welcome to the team dliz, good luck this season!
