Well Tonight was FUN!!!

Bobbie came up from Baltimore or wherever the heck he lives on the other side of the earth...We were on a mission...and that mission was to shoot antlerless critters......multiple if possible....but with the current moon phase we would settle for what ever we could and be happy...My main man D-Man was running top cam and Bobbie and I would swap cams on the arm depending on who was shooting...A little dinker appeared....Bobbie opted out....but as I needed to fill a couple tags to put me back in the antler game I wasnt backing down....

We ended up with 3 camera angles...which is always a bonus...Dawson is one awesome camera guy...I mean the kid just turned 13 and he operated the T2I better than I did last season...Bob ran the main camera and got some really good close up impact footage...Dawson had a med/wide view including my bow limb right over my shoulder...and the GoPro had Bobbie and I plus the deer...(wasnt expecting that???)

Here are some screen grabs and our story in iPhone pics as updated to Facebook during the hunt!!!

Quite a group in this tree

Bobbie is like the Minnie Pearl of the whitetail world...Leaving his tag on the bow...(He says its a wind detector) ........riiiight......

Goes great with his girly Hinky strings....

Happy to be out with my Main Man Dawson!!!

The beechnuts were actually pretty tastey...no wonder the critters are grubbin on them so heavy.

Double Trouble

Dont twist my arm....

That was easy!!!

Tucked er behind the Tennis Court to try for another...

Here is Dawson's birds eye angle of the event...

Rainy Friday evening so we hit the tool shed... Andy has already taken one little flower muncher from here this season but there are plenty more... Including a few decent bucks...

No blind... Just some burlap and cameras... But we are dry...

Mr. Yuk!!!

I love technology!!! I am sitting in a tree with kevin this evening... During the downtime I have checked FB, the weather, a topo map, and Mwc.    But so far We have only seen one little dinker four point... If the big boy follows the path he took it's going to be easy... Listening to Harry homeowner next door mow his grass has got me feeling a little less excited about this evenings outcome so my mind is wandering... I was taking pics for the blog of kev and I when I noticed just how burly my beard really is!!! I mean seriously... This thing is a work of art... It to me symbolizes the rugged outdoorsman I am... Hehe.... That sounds so funny to say while I sit in a backyard near d.c listening to traffic and lawnmowers...  Anyway... I know the wifey is getting sick of the gargantuan amount of facial hair on my face so I figured I would leave it up to friends on the www to choose the outcome!!! Give me a vote on my Facebook page and let me know what I should do!!! That way I can blame y'all when I have to tell my wife if it is staying!!! 

Father and Son doe double up... After Tyler shot his velvet 6x4 on the eve of the opener (recovered by Doug and I in the morning)
and Doug and I shot a buck double on the next day... We are all in need of some antlereless kills to get back on the buck game... Doug and Tyler jumped on the opportunity and shot a pair the next eve!!

Doug (Leatherhead) and I doubled on the second day of the season...
We shot 2 bucks...from a ground blind...in the hood....in under 4 hours!!!

But here is the best part...

We have 4 camera angles...

1 main camera
2 inside the blind cam
3 go pro cam mounted to the bow on the shooter

and 4...the best one of all...

I dug a trench to the other side of the yard the week before the hurricane.
I ran a cable to control my remote control at a greater distance. I then mounted a camera inside a tree at the opposite end of the yard where I had been running my trail cameras...

The deer were already feeding heavy under a giant white oak in the yard and with a little help from the highly addictive Lethal Weapon...I was hoping to position the deer between cameras...It worked!!!

I actually ended up getting blood sprayed on the remote cam as my buck almost crashed into it after the shot!!!

Doug and I could not stop watching the video last night!!! Over and Over!!! It is unreal...The deer running at the cam sounds like a stampede of horses and he is squirting all the way and kicking up grass and dirt!!!
