Thanks to those of you who have been participating in
"What does it score?". If you are a first time visitor feel free to jump in this week and test your skills at judging the score of this week's whitetail. If you are not a trophy hunter, don't worry - neither am I. Don't get me wrong, I like antlers and do everything I can to produce bigger bucks on the property I hunt, but I hunt on low-fence property in an area where trophy bucks are pretty hard to find. I want to better my field judging skills to be able to recognize what caliber of buck I am looking at when one does present itself while I'm hunting. Having this ability will help prevent the "ground shrinkage" effect that lots of hunters experience when they shoot a buck.
Results from last week:
This buck gross scored
146".
1st Place - Ferg - with a score of
145" (difference of
-1")

143 6/8" (difference of

Good job, Ferg! You were right on the money - no ground shrinkage there!

Also I was wondering how you liked your Cuddeback IR. Just thinking about buying one and haven't heard that much about them.
I'm a big fan of the Cuddeback cameras. I like the Cuddeback IR, but it has it's flaws. The nightime IR pictures are rather grainy. I guess that is the tradeoff with a no-flash camera. I've been really happy with the extended battery life. It doesn't use batteries nearly as quickly as the other Cuddeback I have. It is very easy to use and has a quicker delay setting than my other one. So far I've been pleased with it.
