One crazy hunting story.

[5575]

Drug addicts, dead people..can't make this hunting story up!
Watch it when you get the time. "It's an hour long"
Also a lesson here on why you should never text or post a pic or video on the world wide web until it's dead!

The cajónes to hunt in there and track in the dark.....whitetail fever for sure!

I got mixed feelings on the cell cams. I know they are all the rage but man they seem like a real unfair advantage. Kinda like having a gps collar on them at all times.

What a sketchy place. Surely the reason no one else was going after him. Surprised the hobos don't kill all the deer for food.

That is a sweet buck. Urban hunting isn't my thing but this guy sure knows how to get it done.

i was kind of shocked when he looked at his phone and said he just came through the hot gate. i never thought of using cameras while actually hunting.

In wooded areas it's a game changer.

One thing about bucks like that are, you don't have to think twice about if you should drop the hammer on him.

What a deer. Its pretty amazing what they can turn into if given time to explode. Granted not all deer end up like this. But most never make it past 4-5. It would be interesting to know the age on both of these.

Is it even legal to do in ND ? I can't fly a drone over the area and hunt the same day. Why would it be legal to use instant trail cam photo's or even live video ?

Its getting to be FISH IN A BARREL type hunting with all the gadgets you can buy. Its like a video game you can eat in the end. Not for me. LB

 

[espringers]

fish in a barrel? certainly not in ND.

I used cell cams for the first time this year and it wasn't to "jump into the spot once I saw the deer were there". It was to gather information in real time without pressuring the spot. When are they moving? Which direction are they moving as it relates to food or bedding, etc. I learned SO much from the feedback I got. Even so, we only filled 1 of 3 rifle tags. Still have to be able to time it right, have luck and weather on your side, and "seal the deal" when you do get a chance. I'm glad I took the leap and will hopefully be more successful in the future because of the knowledge I gained about deer behavior in pre-rut, rut, and post rut on the public land we're hunting. Also gained info on how pressured our spots are by other hunters.
