I finally got the camera out and started using the products, the deer were coming in pretty slow at first as it was in the 90's the first part of the season.  Lately as it has cooled off some, they have been moving better.  I have attached some pics to show you some of the deer that I have been getting on camera, the biggest one we have been watching for the last three years.  Hopefully we will be able to outsmart him this year, he's been coming in farely regular but, I haven't been able to intercept him yet. He sure seemed to come back for the old crunch!!  Caught your TV show a few times and really enjoy it. Well, gotta go, still hoping Scott fills his tag with a good one, time will tell.  Hope to talk to you soon.

 
 

I finally caught up with the big boy!!!  Our weather has been so warm up here and the deer just weren't moving like they should, but thanks to the leaf river cam you sent I knew he was still around.  Last week it finally started getting cool and I figured it was time to hit the treestand.  Right at dark, just about ready to hang it up for the evening I heard a deer coming in.  It ended up being a bachelor group of about 5 bucks!!  The big one was right in front of me with several of the other ones around me to the back of my stand where I couldn't see them.  I knew I had to draw before I ran out of shooting light, but when I finally drew, the bucks spooked a little and jumped out of my shooting lane.  I decided to stay at full draw on the chance he would step ahead again, and it seemed to take forever before he finally decided that everything was ok.  He finally took the last step that I needed to make the shot and let my arrow fly!!!!!  Only then did the nerves kick in, it took a long time for me to settle down enough to get out of my stand.  I walked over to see if I could find my arrow but the light was just too far gone to get serious about looking for it or the deer on the off chance I would end up pushing him and losing him forever!!  Talk about the longest night of my life, but after about 500 hours daylight finally showed, Scott Wolff showed up at my place and we took off to get him.  We found the arrow right away about 20 yards away, but lost the blood trail about 75 yards out in a field.  We were looking to pick it up again when we saw some crows over by some tall grass about 300 yards out.  We checked it out and found him just laying there, just missed the heart by a hair!  We celebrated and got to scoring!  We came up with 173 2/8 P&Y!!!  The longest tine is 12 2/8!! I couldn't be happier, don't know if I would have got him if it weren't for the cam and wildgame products you sent
