So, this just happened.  Aged at around 4+ with his teethers.  Look at that ass.  THICCCCC....

Boys got a set of marbles on him as well.  Double lung shot, made it about 50+ yards.  Could have been cleaner, but not too bad.  Lots of recent precip, so the tanks are back to capacity and the plots coming in nicely.

I've got the Cuddeback system with 3 cameras. 1 main camera that transmits all the pics and 2 remote cameras that sync with the main. I like their system because I can have a bunch of cameras spread across my land and only pay 1 monthly/yearly price.
I've had them for 2 years and haven't had any major issues out if them.

This.  This right here.

Those screws are triggering my deer blind OCD....;)

CHIEF Jr. spent hours researching game cams. We ended up with a Covert game cam. My feeder sits at the bottom of a 200 ft. cliff that it must shoot a signal over. Right now I have 90% battery life (about 35 pictures a day), and 60% signal strength, between Benjamin and Guthrie.

Haha; this is just a large platform (uncovered) we built on top of a hill to overlook a food plot and pretty country; we call it the veranda. The feeder is 310 yards away so this is our area to "hunt" where we put on music, talk, drink bourbon etc. The screws in question are like that so we can throw a camo netting to help conceal it when the leaves fall.

 

I'll see if I can find some other photos

That's awesome.  I always have a couple feeders setup like 200-250 yards from the feeder.  I can usually sneak in them after the feeder goes off.  And it is where I want to hunt with buddies if we are going to be drinking beer (and the attendant urination) and watching football while hunting.

I love your spot.  That is badass.

Went out to Doss to prep this weekend. Gorgeous damn weather. Couple of small hogs fell victim to the 300BO Rem7. Blackey showed up 15 seconds before the feeder went off, as if he'd been there before. Freckles came in with a group of females / piglets about 10 mins after I put one through the ticker of Blackey. They both ran downhill about 40 yds and expired within 20 ft of each other.  (note: exit wound on Freckles...angled towards me)

Alright plant nerds, I need some identification help.  My tree knowledge begins and ends with smoker application, so I'm a bit out of my depth here, but every morning and afternoon while walking my dog I notice this tree (center of the pic) has 30-40 white wing in it every f'n time.  If you throw a pebble up there it literally explodes with the birds, they circle once or twice and come right back to it...

Great ID, thanks!

Yeah @fattyflattie, it's non stop for the white wing in that f'n tree.

It's like a high altitude crackhouse for them fuckers.

Quote

These birds are granivorous, which means they eat mostly seed, but some fruits and berries as well. If there are large flowers around, it will drink the nectar. In Texas, some have observed the white-winged dove practice “collaborative feeding,” where the birds were shaking seeds from a Chinese tallow tree so other doves could eat.

I guess that's what I'm seeing.

Ok….does anyone have an extra box of 30/06 they’d be willing to part with? I just burned through most of mine dialing the rifle in…don’t want to go into opening weekend with literally a handful of rounds in my pocket.

I’ll pay a fair premium. And you’d be helping a brother out.

Brisket - You need more than 1 round? Wish I could help you out but I shoot a 25-06 and just picked up 2 more boxes of it last week at Academy.

It was a good day at the ranch. Got the duck blinds brushed and feeders topped off.
Food plots are doing good. Not as thick this year but we didn't get the usual October rains as we typically do.289697abc17b37372948ffd3c20cc5bc.jpgb92469407a3b17527d571c18c64886b6.jpgcc7b8d2a411ee351a5c91107707a5d27.jpgc1e5b1e458fb2f8f1c77a0028ebd3d36.jpg50b0a3788b54063fd9195dca365b68a6.jpg

They’ve had them at my academy every time I’ve been, several options. I’ll have wife pick some up if she’s over there in next day or two, if you can’t find any.

Got the whole joint to myself this weekend.   Cut brush all day and now enjoying a beverage of my choice while watching CFB in my old man recliner.   I sincerely hope the deer don’t bother me.

Got some .338 Win Mag.  Just cram ‘em in with a putty scraper & they should work fine.

I’m getting this sense that you are not a Chinese Tallow fan.

I’m really good at picking up on these things.

Can’t remember who said Atascosa when I asked about blinds, but I finally picked up a 5x7 and put it up today.  What a huge pain in the ass, not sure how this normally gets done but I’m pretty sure it’s not like I did with an improvised roller system off the bed of a Home Depot truck that I rode hard and put away wet after scraping every rock and cedar in Travis County.  Anyway, I have a massive new blind so that’s fun.

I missed one of their 5x9 scratch and dents last year for several thousand off. Still pissed I didn’t pull the trigger fast enough. Nice blinds.

Troof. Once I passed on the Atascosa, I found a similar (but Texas Wildlife Supply) blind that had blown over for about 20% of cost. Replaced 2 windows and beat straight some of the bent shit and we in business. It’s on a 12 or 15’ tower (can’t recall, it’s tall af) so that was one helluva fall.

Those Atascosas are what we have.  We bought three 5' x 5' and had them delivered / set up.  One ground blind and two 4' like yours.  We did just move one this summer.  I'm assuming you laid it on its side?  How did you stand it upright?  Did you have some help?  Seems like a winch or come-a-long would be the way to go.

We were able to move ours upright on my 16' trailer.  Just tilted it back, backed the trailer under one side, then shimmied it on the trailer.  We only had to go about 200 yds, so it wasn't a huge chore.

I built a wood jig to support it on the flat bed, then cut six steel pipe rollers and jacked up the blind with a floor jack and inserted the rollers.  I tied the blind off to another truck and then moved the flatbed forward.  Then I installed two legs on the blind and kept moving on the rollers. Finally I flipped the jig around and had my boys stand on it to lever it while installed the other two legs.  My stand is 3 miles down a tough to access road, but even then I can’t recommend this unless you absolutely have to do it.
