nice does my friend!!! Have fun at the Cambell Outdoor Challenge!!!

One day soon I hope to put in my bid for the NannyWacker Club 07 membership.

The nanny wacher club is bursting at the seems. Looks like everybody wants to do the cool thing and join the club.

Congrats on couple of good looking does Justin. Nice pics too. Can't wait to see the videos.

Good deal Justin. Good luck in Illinois. I am headed to Montana in 11 days. I am attemting to film my first hunt. I "copied" of of Matt and bought a new Sony Handy CamDVD308. It is sweet I was messing around with it tonight. Holy Crapdoes this thing have some features. good thing I am edjumecated[8D]

Hunting and filming of course. We finally got some cool weather that moved in, so I'm crossing me fingers that we see some good buck action. If nothing else, perhaps I'll stick another doe on film. I figure sooner or later if I shoot enough of them, a buck has to come by and give me a shot. After all, if you can do it, anyone can.

As for the camera - now that I've gone Digital SLR I don't think I'll ever go back to a simple point and shoot camera. You can do some amazing things with these cameras. I already find myself wanting more and better lenses, and I even contemplated stepping up to a D80, but that's getting a little too big to carry around in my pack. The D40 is the perfect size, and gives you great photography with a little bit of know-how.

Fraley - we were in Pike County, IL. Mike should be doing some hunting in WI this week, but I think if he can't connect with a doe soon, he's going to pull up stakes and focus on IL during the rut.

Frank - good luck in Montana. I expect you to slay another beast!

Here's a few more photos from our trip

A few more

One more for good measure, I just like this pic.

Yeah Justin... after having been a sports writer and even a sports editor for several years -- and having shot most of my own stuff to go with my stories, I can definitely tell you that you'll be wanting some more lenses!! Watch it, though... as it becomes almost as addictive as the bowhunting itself.

Thats awesome Justin. See if you can talk them in to giving you one of our tree arms

How about you just give me one instead? They're a little pricey for my taste right now. I have a wedding to pay for, which is going to amount to one arm, one leg, and possibly a kidney and/or a lobe of my liver.

When we win the contest, just make sure you guys send me one and I'll pretend I used it. Just like the rest of the hunting video/tv industry.
