Good topic, to which can bring all kinds of discussion, opinions and the like so let's open that discussion here by moving the following post to this portion of the forums..
Few thoughts on this subject...

became a reality for me yesterday when I was able to harvest a mature buck that has spent most of his life on my farm.
I have trail cam history and story in my life journal

Holding mature whitetails on small farms is not easy so I feel blessed to have not only done so but to...
is hard to resist and easier to kill...;)

Congrats to all those who have been successful and good luck to everyone...:way:
My friend Rich Baugh sent me a pic of something to watch out for if you leave your stands up year around...chewed straps!
Stepping into a stand like that could end up badly so be sure to check things over carefully before season starts and remember to use your safety harness...:way:
a shed thief that is! This guy is a pro and traveled daily from farm to farm in Van Buren county often as much as 15 miles apart. He wears a mask and targets larger farms that he knows are managed for big deer.
All of these pictures are from farms that belong to friends of mine and not my own...

Well after the incident with the trespasser and countless pictures of bucks shying away from the cams night or day I decided to pickup a very lite aluminum 3 step ladder and mount them up out of reach. The red glow on the BTC's is not as noticeable if one is not looking directly at it so I hope...
Well I finally caught one...kinda...:rolleyes: I passed this guy on the road a 100 yards from my property...waved to him as i went by. Went in hunting, came out at dark to see fresh boot tracks coming out and on into the neighbors property. He walked by 10' from a big yellow "No Trespassing"...
I keep a Life Journal in which I have probably hundreds of pictures from past and present hunting seasons. I have a Canon Rebel XT now that allows me to take better quality pics although I am still learning how to use it in low light on moving targets.
At any rate some of you may enjoy the...

I had my sights set on a double brow 12 point but old eyes and low light are apparently a bad combination...:D
One only has milliseconds and in that brief moment in time I burped, he stopped and a 100 grain Muzzy slammed through both shoulders...end of story....:way:
I do have the LONG...
It's pretty tough for deer to move on my place without getting their picture taken so I'm always pretty confident if movement is nocturnal or switching to daylight...
This is the first daylight movement of a buck I have been watching all summer...time just before 6:00 p.m.
Typical with...
