5 points for Team 17. Its an antlered doe-the “spike” covered in velvet was 2 3/4″ long. All female parts…weird.

Hears the real story behind this deer. The guy in the picture didn’t shoot the deer. He found it on Monday dead and wrapped his tag on it after another member of his party wounded it on Saturday. Did NOT weigh 240#. Deer was wounded and bloated quite fast in the 55+ degree weather. I hunt just south of where this buck was “taken”…

I would try rattling…I rattled in an 8pt (not a giant…about 13″ wide) for my cousin during the youth hunt last weekend in WI. Called in a lot of small bucks. No big boys yet. This weekend maybe!

Good working condition with both barrels I would PAY 300…one barrel 200…just personal opinion. As long as there is no rust and it is functioning fine it’ll sell quick

Sign me up!

mine are the older x6c’s and the IR4. No tripod mount

I have been using there cameras for a few years-and from everything I have seen they are number one on my list for the money. Good picture quality, battery life and trigger speed. Stellar video quality and customer service! Although I do put my DLC Covert mp6 above these cams….

Tips I would suggest however-
-Never point into an area that gets a lot of sun in the day/pointing into a sunset (hundreds of false pics).
-If there is a PIR strength setting, set it to medium. If there is ANY branch or grass movement and it is set on high, the camera will take a pic.
-Video quality is stellar-I put most of mine over scrapes in October its unreal!

Shed hunting this spring there were birds all over. I haven’t been down there for awhile though. I’m sure they’re still there. Hopefully get the new springer ready to hunt them by next fall!

Should be a good year for grouse! Seeing lots of them on our land along the Mississippi River

We shine in western WI. Never been pulled over or had anyone do anything about it. Probably because our local CO is a jelly-legged “know-it-all”. He knows my truck and has learned to stay away

My uncle has two hard horn on camera…the velvet has been off for about two weeks one nice 8pt and a small 6. I’m guessing it will be around August 28th

Hard horn already?! I could believe it, but that has to be rare Mine all need time to grow still!

Makes me excited to get the first pics off of my MP6! New camera for the year-super pumped! Those are some nice pictures Bob

Too many beans for dinner….

Or if she lost her fawn/didn’t have one. Sure packing on the pounds!

The smaller buck in the pics has a LOT of growing left to do. You’ll be suprised where he ends up. I think that doe is still carrying a fawn rare but sometimes it can happen.

Also keep in mind that for hunting in WI, the barrel of whatever handgun you use for huntinghas to have a 5.25″ barrel from firing pin to muzzle with the action closed

I can help you out

As far as soybeans go, they are fairly easy to grow. Soil types around here in WI vary greatly, and people grow beans in every single one. The biggest thing is the amount of water they receive. If you are using them for a late season food source-they will need more water than if growing them as a forage type food plot. Fertilizer really isn’t a HUGE deal (won’t need nitrogen, soybeans get their nitrogen from a process with bacteria called nodulation-won’t get into the fancy details ). Potash is what most guys use as a starter fertilizer, and then add in whats needed (you will find out with a soil test )

As far as the beans themselves, you want to make sure you grow an indeterminate, long day variety of beans. The indeterminate means the beans will flower earlier and continue to flower as the plant grows (plant doesn’t have to be completely mature for flowers to develop). If you were to grow a determinate variety, the plants would have to be fully mature before flowering (and with an early frost, you could lose all your plants). The long day soybean plants will ensure that the plants are getting the right amount of light to grow properly. If you planted the short day variety, your plants would flower much later than you would want.

One more important thing I will add is make sure that you buy inoculated seed or by inoculation bacteria to mix in with the seed. It is much easier and cheaper to get pre-inoculated seed. Without the inoculation (bacteria that helps produce the nitrogen), your soybean plants will be severely stunted and produce little to no beans themselves.

I hope this helps! Sorry to write a book, but these little details will REALLY increase the odds of them working well!

Let me know if you have any more questions! I’d be happy to help (I’m a Crop and Soil Science Major at UW-River Falls)

The knobs are definitely still there on the short buck. The other one is thinned out. Thanks!

To be honest, my home county has bigger deer. I will agree that Buffalo County has a lot of deer in that 125-135″ range…but more booners came out of a nearby county last year than Buffalo…actually a few years in a row now

That is a WIDE buck throw an ->>—–> through him!

Deer are DEVOURING the beans in my plots. Due to some weed issues I had to till under about half after spraying with Roundup. Re-planting this week. Half of them will be late season (for the beans themselves) and the rest will be good until the first hard frost. New bucks starting to show up every week now. Going to be a good year gents!

It seems to me like this is knowledge i could pick up having a burger at a bar during deer season not impressed….

Last winter I did a LOT of ice fishing down in the Alma area, and even then I was AMAZED at the size of the deer down there. Unbelievable. There were fields where there would be 15-20 bucks out at 4pm dream land

That is a dandy I just checked out their site…very reasonable I might have to book a hunt sometime

I have bought 2.0 megapixel cameras before, and in the daytime the picture quality is ok, but at night, it gets very grainy and hard to see-thats with infrared. If you go with a flash, 2.0 would be decent picture quality.

Here are a few photos taken with the IR4. I would post MANY more pictures, but these are the only ones that I have available on my work computer

Best camera I have ever seen for under $100 is Wildgame Innovations IR4.(not the same company as wildview-VERY COMMON misconception) I used to sell a LOT of trail cameras at the Hudson, WI Fleet Farm store (worked in sporting goods0, and recommended this camera to countless customers and never heard one negative thing about them. I run four of them personally -picture quality is good, excellent video, battery life is pretty darn good for the price. No they will not run a full year on a set of batteries, but they won’t die after three days if you get what I am saying. I usually get an honest 3-4 months out of a set of batteries, less if I am taking video. Pretty much any camera by that company is a good buy. They now have out an 8 megapixel camera for $100.00 right now. If I had $100.00 myself, I’d buy it. COmpared to Cuddeback cameras…trigger speed is not AS fast but you will rarely miss deer, and the video quality is right up there with the best of them Plus, you can buy two of them for the price of one expensive camera-which covers more area and is more valuable IMO.

Good luck! I would be interested to see what others have to say. I know DLC makes some good cameras, but I have never owned one

Those plots look awesome. I had corn looking like that until yesterday morning’s storm did a number with the hail! Don’t know how it will turn out-its pretty beat up.
