Deer hunting BS thread

It does not. I’m in solid blacktail country.

Good old Oregon!

 

cool. I lived in Silverton before. I still have family in Salem if they havent passed away yet.

 

pretty fun evening. I tried out a blind that my dad built for the first time. Was in there 10 min and a smaller buck showed up. Just watched him for a while. Then a few does were there and they came within 10 ft of me nibbling on the branches and none of them knew I was there.

One of last year's deer steaks.

 

Silverton is a nice area. I'm over in the Mcminnville area. Gotta love soggy Willamette Valley hunting haha

 

My game camera quit working, any recommendations?

 

Well fellas, I missed a chip shot this weekend. 60yd shot on a mature doe and right over her back saw the dirt fly up behind her. I guess I rushed it. Checked for blood just to clear my mind. Saw plenty of other deer, just none worth shooting. Will be going back out next weekend.

 

what kind did you have? I just had yet another Leupold RCX camera take a shit. So don't get those. Stealth Cam has been good so far.

 

It happens to all of us at least once.

 

Moultrie M80, had it 5 years. It worked fair, nothing to brag about.

 

Moultree makes good cams, I have had 3 out for 3 years straight. Buried in snow, ants made a nest in one. Sub zero temps. They all keep working and they take good pics.

 

I like those but they are getting outdated. But check if the batteries leaked and corroded the contacts on the battery box.

 

I had that trouble with the older cams with c batteries. I use lithium AA they last all year. You have to make sure the cam will work with them. I forget what model cams I have I will check when I back home fri.

 

I have 3 Moultrie camera’s M60,M550 And M40i they seem very reliable but sometimes I think the trigger speed is slow.I did leave the batteries in the M60 one off season and corroded the contacts so they have to be scratched up a lot to work.

 

@JJ TACO
Which model Moultrie do you have?

I just saw that you'll check the model Friday. Thanks

 

Agree I have only moultrie now I have learned that paying a lot for a camera isn't worth it. I stick with the 60-70 dollar moultries now. Have a A20, a20i and m550. Triggers are a little slow. Have moultrie mobile on one, that is a neat setup.

 

New parka, pants, hat and gloves today. I thought I’d get through the season with minimal purchases but ended up with a new duck coat also. Seems to always work out that way.

 

I got a solar powered SpyPoint from wal mart this year. Been a good cam so far.

I’ll stop by Walmart on the way home. I figured out the most expensive doesn’t = best bang for the buck! Do you remember how much it was?
