RE: Bucks Galory{pics}
Strut, those are some awesome pics. How long have you had your cuddeback digital? Are you completely satisfied? About how much are those cameras going for? I own a stealth cam and I have had bad problems with it being really delayed, resulting in the animal to passing out of the picture before it is taken. What about the cuddeback, do you ever have that kind of problem?

RE: Bucks Galor{pics}
No The only problem I have had with my Cuddeback is every once in awhile it will take a picture without the flash and all I get is a black blank picture, it has an automatic flash system on it which means it determines whether there is enough light or not to use the flash and I guess it goes haywire or something, I have taken several hundred pictures with it the last couple months and it has done it to me 3 or 4 times, one time there has 1 or 2 pics like that and one time I had about 30 or 40 that was black over a 2 day period. I talked to them and they said to send it in and they would check it out, but I don't want to do without it right now , maybe after season is over I will send it in, if it keeps doing it. Other than that it has been flawless, The battery life is unbelievable, I do wish the flash would pick up a little farther but it s not to bad, about 15 foot is the max for getting a real good picture and being able to tell what you have the best I can tell.
BassPro and Cabela's sell then for around 400, biggameproshop has then for 365 or they did a couple of months ago.

RE: Bucks Galor{pics}
Angus, I just have a small farm and my son and I are about the only ones that hunt it and we do try and let the small bucks walk, we have'nt killed a small buck in years, some years we get skunked by doing so, I have a food plot or 2 out and thats about it. But just across the fence the hunting pressure is pretty bad and its a big lease and some of those guys will shoot anything especially if it has a horn, if it was'nt for them doing that we could have some really nice QDM going on here and the bucks would continue to get bigger and better. The only thing that really helps me out is theres about 1200 acres of stuff you just can't hardly get thru that boarders me and once they hit that they are hard to get out.
For instance, last year on first morning I let a nice little 6 point walk right by me, real young deer and a great little rack, about 200 yards after he jumped my fence on to the other property he met his demise, if he had been let go he would have been a real shooter in a couple years. I talked to the ones that killed him later and they said he had a 14" inside spread.
