I thought I would carry a camera with me bow hunting.(photography is my second job and hobby) I had 6 come out today. First deer was 10 yards from me. I had a couple inside 20 yds. But a had a small 7 and a button buck entertaining me for 30 min. If I had shot first deer in I would have missed them in action. Never shot at any of them but to me getting to watch all these deer after many hours of building and planting plots I think sometimes just being able to have them this close and never being detected is a successful hunt, or maybe I am getting soft at my age. Do a lot of you guys let deer walk so you can just watch them? It's not a Passion, it's an Obsession. That's what I tell my wife, but she promptly informs it's a disease to which is incurable.

I'll get an ol itchy finger every now and then, but like I said, it's less than ever before. Last edited by Johnal3; 10/19/14 04:59 PM. Originally Posted by BPS This is Aldeer!

But I'd much rather see a kid shoot a doe or a good little 8 than me. You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.

antlerhunter 8 point A Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,390 By the River	I too have become much more of a hunter than a shooter in the past few yrs. I could have shot probably somewhere around 40 last yr. Took one good 10 in January and I was done. Haven't even been in a tree this yr, all of the does I am seeing around my hunting places have fawns with them that are 2-3 weeks old. No way I would shoot one right now on my places, esp with the very low densities I have. You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go.... (Seuss)

I have a Nikon D3100 that I carry some but I'm sure I spook a doe at 30-40 yards with the sound of the camera shutter. Any suggestions? I use a towel to cover camera, however I will not take a pic inside 20 yds. The big thing for me is knowing the noise will not run them off, but the slightest movement when they look up will get me busted. It's not a Passion, it's an Obsession.

Unless it's thinning the doe population some and removing the "mutt" bucks I do more QDMA than anything regarding "if it's brown, it's down" theory. Nice excursion and pics you embarked on. 4 - Reconyx SC950's 1 - Reconyx XR6 Ultra Fire 4 - Homebrew Units Don't waste $$ on those midrange priced cameras
