Trail camera photos can lead to one night stands. by Scott Abbott 27. November 2009 05:20
Scott AbbottTrail camera setups can be as complicated or simplistic as you choose to make them.  I personally stay on the simplistic side of things as I am not trying to "pattern" bucks with their use, but rather get a better look at them after I locate a buck I am interested in from su... [More]

Setting up a lockon treestand, climbing sticks and trimming shooting lanes. by Scott Abbott 5. August 2009 08:25
Scott Abbott Every now and then you come across a spot that just tells you to put a lock on up rather than pack in your stand for the hunt.  This spot only tells me that once every 3 years though because of the crop rotation on the fields.  It is a long walk from my parking area and right o...

The Four beam buck.... Chapter four. by Scott Abbott 25. July 2009 06:42

(Past entry http://www.bowhunting.com/blog/post/2009/03/13/The-third-chapter-(The-4-Beam-Buck).aspx )  Many hours of glassing this summer have yielded zero sightings of this buck.  Knowing I would not be able to glass this past week from overtime at wo...

The "Tank" lives on? by Scott Abbott 11. July 2009 07:43
Scott Abbott I had glassed some decent bucks on this property a few weeks ago so I set a camera up to hopefully get a better look at them.  I could tell one had a non matching unique rack from first glance. Reminiscent of the "Tank".  ( link to a journal entry on him http://www.bowhunting.c... [More]
