Well..........I am the proud new owner of a Stealth Cam. Got a model MC2-G. I can't wait to see what it picks up. No WI, I did not charge it! Just so happens my cousin had a brand new one never used - sold it to me for $50. I stopped at Walmart on my way home and got me a bunch of alkaline batteries. I will have it set up first thing tomorrow.

Now to decide where to set the thing up????

Welcome to the team BlkLab.....

Are you guys getting excited or what????!!!!:D:D:D

Sounds like something I would make up. JK. Sounds like you got a good deal. Get that thing in the woods and lets start seeing some pictures.

Getting???? All I do now is think about this season. It's going to be a great year.

$50 is a great price. If you have any more cousins wanting to give steath cams away, let me know.

I leave next Wednesday for the high country. I have already started to gather and pack equipment. I can hardly wait!!

I'm starting to get really excited about this coming season. I've got big expectations for myself this year. The last few years I have been right on the verge of really coming into my own as a trophy bow hunter. After 10+years of bowhunting, I feel like I am just beginning to understand how to consistently take mature bucks. I've taken my lumps along the way, with several misses, many close encounters and one tragic bad shot.

I fully expect to harvest 2 mature bucks this fall. we shall see how it pans out. Good luck to all. Good shooting.


BTW, welcome aboard Ed, hope you can produce a MO monster for us!

Hi all, thought I check back. Was in the woods yesterday and set up 2 stands on my Brother inlaws farm [man Im tired][&o]. Set up a few mock scrapes and cleared some trails. I also got down the Game Feeder and, salt licks from the woods, they must be out 1 month before the season[:@]. Heading out on the Delaware river Friday to set up some more stands and check things out. Then next week I will check out and finish with some more stands on some of my spots along the PA Turpike. The one spot thats a real honey hole we must cut a trail about 250 yards long through thick brush and briers to get to this spot. It will be a real jungle this year with all the rain we got in PA this year. But it is well worth it. Checked out the Champion and new Bowtech tonite to make sure they were still shooting bulet holes, they were:D> Only 30 days til. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! See yea:)

Can everyone please let me know what you want to do about mnrut. Sorry about the red but I figured it would get your attention. I have sent him 3 emails. I am being asked to give a list this weekend of how many alternates we will need. I don't want to replace a guy that may want to be on the team but I don't know how serious he is. He joined August 7 and last login was August 12. He posted 39 times in that 6 days and has not been back since. I will go with the majority that respond to this by Sunday. I will be out from Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon hanging stands. Got 7 to put up this year.:D

RE: Official Team "Lucky 13" (13) Thread
 

If he doesn't check in today, I say get an alternate

RE: Official Team "Lucky 13" (13) Thread
 

I think he has plenty of time to sign in. Since he hasn't posted since Aug. 12th, I would take it that he isn't very interested in the contest and what is happening. It's possible that something has happened to keep him from being online and that would be unfortunate. Since the season is starting for some hunters we need to move on.
Besides...I have our logo ready and it has our names on it. I didn't want to post it and then have to make changes. So..... let's get our alternate and get on with the game!

I put up my Stealth cam yesterday. I think I have a good spot overlooking a well-used trail. I tested it and the light was blinking at all angles and a pretty good distance. I can hardly wait to go get it and have the film developed. How many days should I wait - it's only a 24 exposure roll? Last night I seen three different does and two fawns. And this morning there were 3 small bucks. These deer were looking for the salt/mineral lick at the edge of our yard, which I removed yesterday as per PA's rules......

Later,
Jen
