Pope ever hear the story about the old bull and young bull standing on top of a hill over looking a herd of cows?

leadoperator, patience isn't my game. Unless im hunting then its a differant story. But with cameras its not. Its not easy having your camera 400 yards from you and NOT checking it. Maybe I should put a electric shock collar around my wrist so when I go to reach for the trail camera I get zapped. Im sure that would stop me. Actually I dont think it would. [&:]

Pope I feel the same way as you, I can never wait to go check my cameras and mine are also close so I am always anxious to do so and end up checking them every 5 or 6 days even though I would like it to be every two weeks.

Im sorry but how on Earth can you guys wait so long to check your cameras. It must be very very hard for you guys. Im out at the cabin every weekend so all I have to do is walk 400-500 yards to check my cameras but even though they are still so close I still need to check them often. I need more cameras.

I don't have a lot of growth on the bucks that I have pics of either so don't feel like the Lone Ranger. I know there are some dandy bucks in my area, I just can't wait till the apples start dropping because that's when the big boys come. I need to find a good hay field the boys are visiting and hang my camera there.

You got two posts there.
Well as you can tell from my Unibrow buck, im no longer apart of the slow growing club.
Do the apples really work? I thought about planting some apple trees in our timber but im afraid I would have to put fence around it because of the cattle.
