Been checking the cams....I am again crazy impressed with my new Covert Cams...These little guys have been pluggin along for well over a month now and the battery life is right on 2 bars and has not moved!!! They continue to take fantastic pictures...I just wish my bucks would show up....I know what should be around but they have not shown in the typical spots...Most of the boys have a good one lined up and thats awesome with me!!! I will man the cameras!!!

In any case...I have had these cams in a variety of locations and the deer have been hammering the spots that I have been using WYLD Minerals!!! I have had the most success with the Orchard Blend and Sweet Addiction.

Here are some pictures of the bachelor group I have hanging out at one mineral hole!!!















This first one is just a good shot of some youngsters...The cam is taking very clear pictures.
The next three show some bucks with their face deep in a hole filled with WYLD Mineral...











































I am semi tempted with this guy....Pretty nice for a 3 yr. old...

I love finding sheds when you least expect it.

I am always looking for them...even whens its green. Its just a little dinker fork but it helps to have such a cute little model to show it off. I let her "find" it. She is always wanting to go hunt for stuff. When we first arrived here at the spot to replenish some WYLD minerals, we had a doe in the yard. Dawson and I hung back and rolled tape as Kevin and Riley walked closer, and closer, and closer....They got within 10 yards of this ole girl as she fed. If they always acted like this it would be easy. Riley was so excited to get close to her favorite "momma deer"!!! I think the picture speaks for itself as to how excited she was when she found the shed!!!














Some of my mobile pics from the Buckwild expo this past weekend...

The BUCKWILD Expo!!!


We had a fantastic time at the 1st of many Western Md. Buckwild Expos. The Buckwild Gang always puts on a fantastic event so we knew we were in for a great time.





































































































There was a minor weather issue on Saturday but nothing that we couldnt handle. The kids made the best of it and played in the puddles while everyone stayed put and chatted through the heaviest downpours.

























The Turnout was about as good as I expected for a first time show in a new location...I see this getting bigger and better as the word spreads.

The kids had tons to do and there was plenty to eat. Everyone was captivated buy the Giant Brown Bear. That poor dude looked hot with all that fur.





































We were absolutely thrilled with the way the joint UltimateCamo/Team Overkill booth turned out with its new barnwood spruce up.










































Jeff manned the charcoal grill the entire time and was filling the whole area with the smell of Chesapeake Bay Brats. The things sell themselves but it doesnt hurt to add a little cuteness in the form of a sample girl.










































Nice to see everyone up there including the Jefferson Archery Gang and Youngs Wildlife. There were so many kids running around our booths that they kept each other busy and out of our hair....kinda...hehe

















































































































































Even had a little time to try out the new bows on the 3D Range....
