I miss those day's
« on: August 02, 2016, 08:45:09 PM »
 When you could get on hunt wa and there were members that would share their trail cam photos of giant bulls and big bucks, I believe there are some members on here holding out on us that need a fix just before the season.I know you all have your reasons but come on help a fellow member in need. I'll do my part and share :tup:

Sad that it has gotten to this but you are absolutely correct.....people have stopped shareing photos and experiences like they use to.  I don't blame them one bit though!!  Some (a few) have really ruined it for the majority.   I don't share near as many / any photos from my trail cams.  I still post photos of the kills but that is about it. 

That is one heck of a bull.  Thanks for sharing.   :tup:

Thanks for sharing. If I had any trail cameras out I would love to share some pictures, but I don't. Thanks for posting these up though. What a stud bull.

Thanks for sharing! I love seeing the pics of the big brutes, alive or not!

But I think he'd look better on my wall!  :chuckle:

I also enjoy the pics, I do not own any trail cams, all the talk of theft on this site keeps me from buying any.

Need to face it.  This site isn't that small family type feel that it used to be.  Too many people bickering about BS all of the time.  I personally do not share anymore because then everyone and his neighbor wants to know where you hunt.

But it can be IMO. If you see bickering or negativity especially is success or just picture sharing threads, report it to the mods so we can put a stop to it.  :twocents:

So instead of bickering more about it, let's try and make a change.

"cool pic, thanks for sharing"   :chuckle:

Yeah I like it when people share a pic or two just for the sake of doing so.  It keeps me hopeful that some of these mashers are still out there.

This one's not as amazing as some others but still pretty cool. (From a couple of weeks ago)   

Check out the marks on the cow at the end of the video. I wonder if it's from a cat or a bear.  (From a couple of months ago)

Thanks for sharing the pictures, guys. It's the sort of thing that makes this site as great as it is.

One of my favorite trail cam pictures I've ever gotten.
Both of these bulls are dead now, 1 is hanging on a wall and the other will be soon as well.

Great videos. Like watching the bull's foreleg and shoulder positions, gives a great perspective on where not to shoot.

Did both those bulls get killed by Muzzy hunters last year?

Not both of them last year, but otherwise, yes.
That's all I will say.

Great pics.....   love the bull that started this.

My trail cams go out next week.   I usually post pics...  Honestly, I haven't had any detractors, just people that appreciate pics.    At least that I remember.
