New gear

Flintlock1776 — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 17:48:36 GMT

I just ordered this for a little more flexibility over point & shoot. I'm not into Pro Photography but this should work:

Olympus Evolt E520 10MP Digital SLR Camera with 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 and 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 ED Zuiko Lenses

Lexar Professional Series 8 GB 300x UDMA Compact Flash Memory Card

Olympus ED 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens

I hope to get some good pics with this set up!

Deer in my back yard.

I have 12 different deer that come in.

I didn't have my date set on my camera.

RINEHART's R-100 (pics)

BowBo — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 16:42:27 GMT

Had another great time at the R-100 in Wabash Indiana this year! I absolutely love this event (as long as they would DO-AWAY with the double target set-ups)! Bass and Bucks do a great job hosting it, as well.

Me and my buddy Steve (TOM's brother) shot the North American course on Sat, while my wife was "poolside". But she did shoot with us Sunday, on the African course..... and did really well, I thought. She shot a 416, with no misses out of 50 targets. I was purty prowd anyways!

Anyhoo, here are just a few pictures that we (my camera, and my wife's camera) got during our R-100 shoot.

Three 12's! I had to sneak mine in on the side, after the Fatty and X weave filled it up!

Couple more 12's, on the Giant Skeeter.

Let's see some Critters

Live for the moment, enjoy the memories.

Lens question/opinions

twowetdogz — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 15:53:00 GMT

I am trying to get back into Wildlife/Landscape Photography after not having been very active with it for a while now.

I've got a Canon EOS (film, not digital) that I am going to be using, atleast for a while yet. Although, I hope to move to digital as well sometime in the not to distant future.

Anyways, I am looking for a new (on a budget - atleast for now) lens.

I am thinking about either:

Sigma Zoom Telephoto 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG Macro Autofocus Lens for Canon EOS
or
Canon Zoom Telephoto EF 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM Autofocus Lens

And then maybe coupling it with a multiplier.

Just wondering if anybody has used/does use either of these, and has any thoughts/recommendations/suggestions. I have read reviews on various sites, but would like some feedback from you guys as well.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

HUGE Virginia WhiteTail Deer(s)

LittleManHunter — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 17:01:25 GMT

*NOTE* You got to look closely at the last picture, its the same deer 2nd from last..

Saved best for last..

What kind of mouth call would you use?

hamer — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 07:52:24 GMT

Any one has any comments on what kind of mouth call for turkey that you guys would think would be the best. I have only one right now and it is made by primos and its a split reed and I found that it works really good. But if someone has somthin else that works really good that I can give a whirl would be greatly apreciated.

CADES COVE pics

BowBo — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 12:26:21 GMT

Well, I took the advice from a few members on Mossy Oak, and visited Cades Cove while we were on Holiday in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee! I'm really glad we decided to run out there........... it was BEAUTIFUL! And we got to see lots of wildlife too. We probably saw over 30 deer, and 7-8 turkeys.

I was able to make about a 300yd stalk, to get better pics of some deer!

Enjoy the pics.....

There are deer in this field, you can see a couple if you look close....

And was able to get really close to a couple does....

This looked to be a decent 8 pointer, that had broken off his left side about an inch above the base...

Bahahahaha

This is one of my hunting buddies that scored on opening day of the Urban Archery.

He can't handle it! It takes him 30 minutes just to gut one, for the dry heaving that he does. It is soooooooo funny watching him!!

Who else here has a hard time gutting an animal?? Doesn't bother me, never has!

INDY 500 PICS

BowBo — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 20:03:21 GMT

Here is Steve (Indyhunter) coppin' a feel............... off of ME!

This is Stephanie (Steve's daughter), Steve, and my wife Scheryl............ tailgating before the race.

We were sitting in the 2nd turn, looking left down the short shoot back into turn 1......

Here we are looking down the back stretch.............. with the cars reaching 230mph!!! It is VERY impressive in person, and just how fast they can hang a turn!

A few recent pix...

FL_Cracker — Wed, 28 May 2008 14:24:31 GMT

Here's a couple of pics I've taken recently that I thought turned out good...

This is the lake I live near and my kayak...

This is from this weekend. It's about a 40 foot cliff that drops off to the largest and deepest spring on the Suwannee River here in Florida. We got a rope to swing off it or you can just jump.... It's a lot of fun. The water is always a refreshing 72 degrees being a natural spring. It's a private "run" to the river, and the river is about a quarter mile straight ahead. This is where all our Memorial Day festivities were held...

Here's a couple of fish I caught recently (dont remember when exactly)...

Trout and Redfish (YUMMY)

Sheepshead (YUMMY)

Practicing Knife Photography

BHShaman — Thu, 15 May 2008 21:12:21 GMT

I have a Canon A95.
Rainy spring and no money for a diffuser kit, so I just started in my basement with some stuff laying around. Then once the sun broke through I got to get outside.

From earliest to latest below.

Biologic Clover Plus

pabowhunter — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 11:52:43 GMT

I figured I'd take some time and put a slide show together reviewing last years Biologic Clover Plus activity. It's just over a minute long so take a look. Sorry, couldn't get the audio part working so music was left out. This was my first attempt at this.

HOW TO POST A PICTURE

BowBo — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 10:09:48 GMT

. [quote]TrailCamMan (8/9/2007)

I just brought this over from the old forum.

If anyone is having problems posting a pic. Follow these steps and maybe it will help.

1. Save the pictures on your computer in a place where you can easily find them.

2. Go to www.photobucket.com and register an account.

3. Once you have your account, you have several different options on what size to make your picture. If you look under "Uploading Options" you will see different sizes. I use "Message Board" (640 X 480).

4. Once you have the size you need, click on "Browse" and find the image(s) that you had previously saved on your computer. You can do this by double clicking on the file name. If you want to upload multiple images, click on "Add More Images."

5. Once you have selected your image(s) click on the "Upload" option. Once you do this, you should see your image with three things under it. "Url" "Tag" and "Img" codes.

6. Go to www.MossyOak.com and start a new topic or reply to a topic. Type whatever you need to say about the picture and then copy and paste the "Img" code into the box. It is easier to do this if you have 2 screens pulled up at the same time. One for Mossy Oak and the other for Photobucket.

7. The last thing to do is hit the "Post New Topic" button at the bottom of the screen. If you are not sure you did it correct, hit the "Preview Post" button and it will give you a preview of what your post will look like.

Today's Sunset

BowBo — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 21:54:57 GMT

We had our best weather day of 2008 today.... got above 60 today! It was great!!

Me and the wife took our street cruisers out for a good long ride today, and this evening we shot our bows for a while.

The western sky was beautiful, so I decided to snap a quick pic, before the sun got behind the horizon.............. GORGEOUS spring like day in Indiana. Even saw our first Robins of the year today!

They know it's coming

pabowhunter — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 15:56:46 GMT

Here is a picture I took about a minite ago. I could only get 11 in the shot but there is a stragler hanging behind. They seem to know there's a storm starting to brew, feeding time.

Some Woodlot Pics

MadJack — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 05:15:15 GMT

This is how thick one area was before we cut it. Notice the standing dead-wood and fallen logs.

Another shot same area, see how thick it is? Most of this property is like this!

It's amazing what proper cutting can do. And we found more than 25 apple trees on this hill.

Hunting Slideshow

jlee477 — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 09:03:16 GMT

I took my son down to Camden Alabama mid January. I had some photos from the woods in slideshow link below. Unfortunately we did not see a thing but we had a great time. The woods pictures we were put out in an area wherethere was supposed to be a double stand but when we got out there it was a single so my son sat in the stand and I sat on the ground. Around lunch time we did some stalk hunting looking for something to shoot but I left the camera in the truck. In the evening we sat over a huge greenfield notice another shooting house on the other end. No, there was not anyone in it. The guy that maintains it likes to keep his back to the sun so he built a second shooting house. All in all it was a great day with the kid.

Photography Class

romans1014 — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 23:48:39 GMT

I am taking a photography class this semester. Our assignments are pretty open ended, so I am going to be shooting wildlife and nature related subjects as much as possible. I live only a few minutes away from Busch Wildlife Conservation Area. Here are some of my photos so far:

I am posting my work for the class on my blog. You can check it out here.

Great Story teller, great photographer

xOZx — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 12:03:40 GMT

Folks, I have had the pleasure of several conversations and a meet and greet at a gathering at Peckerwood Lake in Arkansas with James Overstreet. At that meeting, James was but a budding photograher just snapping pics of the participants as much for posting photoshop chop jobs on a duck hunting forum as anything else.

He had been known for his story telling/writting ability by writing some stuff for Steve Bowman a local newspaper outdoor writer and now author of "The Arkansas Duck Hunter's Almanac", an autographed copy of which I received on that trip where I met Steve Bowman as well.

Steve and James both now work for ESPN Outdoors and James has turned into one hell of a photographer. If you want a good read, check out James' quest for Muy Grande. A good read and some awesome photography.

Camo Camera Filming Tips

Some filming tips for hunters from one of the Camo Camera crew in the Bowling Green Daily News.

http://bgdailynews.com/articles/2007/12/09/sports/s5.txt

There's some great short videos on the main MossyOak.com site, too, about filming hunts. Here's the first one. The others can be found in the Video on Demand library. They're titled as "CC Tip" under "What's Hot."

A few treestand pics

INBowhunter — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 10:12:20 GMT

The first few pics are pretty dark. It was overcast and rainy that day.

Guess who!

Looking toward one of my clover plots.

Looking deeper into the woods.

Another one of my stands, looking toward the right at my smallest clover/chicory plot.

Same plot, same stand, looking straight ahead.

Same stand, looking over my left shoulder at one of the bean plots (that now has Whitetail Institute Winter Greens growing in it.)
