Yes. I've watch buck skirt a camera. Also watched deer almost pose for them. Depends on the individual.

No need for pricey on this one. I won't shoot it much. All of my deer are bow, yotes and other critters are .308, .223, 17hmr, and .22LR. I probably just need to find an older gun with a scope that I like and buy it for the scope. Seems like the most logical thing to do...

Bingo! I don't like the flat black with high turrets look on an stylish old wood/blued rifle.

I peeked at the rabbit hole but kept my distance. Overriding is a bolt will save money through ammo costs, plus I already have several semi-auto AR's but no bolts (yet).

I have a Swedish made Smith and Wesson 30-06 sitting around with no scope. I'd like to put one on it that matches the time (I think late 60's). Where's a good place to find something like that? Don't even care if it's from the 60's, just would like it to look right.

That's one of the reasons I'm thinking about a bolt action upper... save some money. Plus I'm not huge on blowback that can happen with a suppressed semi. AND... I absolutely can't stand the springy boing sound that so many AR's seem to have when you shoot.

Do you drive through the gate, or just park there and walk in? If you aren't driving through, just climb through the fence and leave the gate alone. Otherwise do something already suggested above. I'd probably want to do away with the chain and switch to a cable lock for a bicycle.

My dad has a Smith and Wesson carbine in 9mm. Suppressed. Plenty quiet with sub-sonic loads, and we can find hunting ammo for it locally. I think a similar configuration in a bolt action would be fun.

Bolt upper in 9mm has been on my "let's be stupid" list. 7.62x39 would fit just as well.

I hunt a lot of open areas. When you look at the hills and creek bottoms you might think they'll follow the cover, but as often as not they are using a hillside and not even close to cover. And, predicting where they'll be on the hillside is damn near impossible. Sometimes top, middle...

Look up the Pygmalion Effect. Basically it says that if teachers believe their students are gifted or high achievers, then those student improve beyond what kids who have a teacher who's been told they are the trouble makers.

I've piled brush with a skid steer. Works on the average deer, the pain in the ass deer will go right through it and get downwind of ya. I've had good luck with encouraging paths rather than forcing paths. Ie- open a gate, tie the top wire down on the fence, leave a gap in the middle of a row...

I'll probably wait. Figure we still have a couple of cold snaps in store for us.

Cages are expensive until you factor in that trip to the land and every tree you've planted has been destroyed. Not so bad if they keep that from happening.

Thanks, good read! From what I'm finding it looks like it must connect to their hub. Can't just connect it to your own wifi extender. If someone knows different let me know. How are they for battery life?
