My "experience" with mature bucks is......I've been hunting a little over 2 years and I've killed 2 of 'em. Rocket science this isn't......no matter how much "mystique" you wanna give these animals.
Yep............. you're a legend in you're own mind. Pretty soon you'll have the whole first page of your states record book to yourself with those bad boys. Maybe should look for something more challenging.
Greg is on fire!!!!!!

haha

Greg....I'd like to buy you for what you're worth and sell you for what you think you're worth. I could retire.

EVERY time I have a differing opinion than yours.....you take your personal potshots. SO predictable. You have to know how foolish this makes you look.

I'll leave you to continue. Have a good evening.

Greg please put up your old avatar of you with your bow kill instead of that crazy looking dude you have as an avatar now. Thanks.
janesburg, that "crazy looking dude" is me. I've been getting it from my GF, my boss and a bunch of other people, so I shaved the middle out of it. Now I look like this, except my hair isn't quite as long, yet!




haha i was thinking the same thing.....i couldnt even recognize greg either would have never guessed that was him

It must be the sunglasses.....

I have video of my cuddeback no flash, and the deer seem very inquisitive like they can see it in the dark/night like a flash, even though there is no flash, makes me wonder if it's a marketing scheme, can deer see infered? in a sense IR is just a color we humans can't see, just like deer can't see red we can't see IR. Though I wonder if they can hear some unusual sounds from the camera, no matter how slight.

From using the Cudde Back No Flashes and a Bushnell IR, a lot last year and a little the year before, I feel for what ever reason, whether it be noise, the light etc.. the IR"Swill and do seem to spook the older bigger more skittish bucks... somethings going on because I saw time and time again, on a specifice water hole this past summer when we had a nearly drought conditions and extreme fire danger that forced deer to the mostavailable water, along with moose, elk, bears etc.. all in the same water hole.. only the Big bucks I photoed there seemed to spook in reaction to the camera.. all the other younger bucks, does, elk both bulls and cows, bull moose, and even a bear and couple hawks.. didnt seem to mind the camera. Many of the same younger bucks, bull moose, and a bull elk revisited, getting over 50 photos of some of them...I only got 1 visit and no more than 2 pictures in the visitof the three biggest bucks I saw all summer on that water hole via my cameras....never to photo them again.. and I know they had to travel a long ways to other water.. something was up.. jm2c

this buck I got on my Bushnell IR this one and only time.. in the second photoof him.. I had it set on 30 second intervals ....he spooks.. Never saw him again at this water hole.. I know this buck well from glassing him before and seeing him and passing on him a year earlier.. I found one of his sheds too. all within a 1/4 square milearea..he has long candlestick tines and was a bit spindly the year I passed him ...06.. i figured he was just 3.5 then..thats the shed we (my boys and I)found too...a side I believe from his 06 set..possibly his 05 if hes older than I guessed.. I figure him at least 4.5 in this camera photo..

I pictured other big bucks at thishole only to never see them again there again this summer.. while the younger bucks, bulls and moose all revisited and I have several photos of...

Well, from what I can gather from this thread and being I am a skittish, paranoid individual I best put a camera onto trails that I don't plan on hunting[&:]. If I find a nice buck I do want to hunt then I best be hunting where he is not getting his picture taken.

I strongly suspect that it's noise from the unit spooking them, deer don't see red and IR is the far end of the red spectrum.
