Raccoons....

I will post these when I get out of work. I set out the feeder with Buckshot and Acorn Rage and let it sit for the last week with a camera on it. I usually get maybe 50 or 60 pics a week depending on where I set up. This time I set up in a new area we cleared out where there were alot of deer signs. So yesterday I pull the camera and notice there are 230 pictures. I immediately dropped my pack and pulled out my digital camera to go over the card. To my.... we'll say surprise. there are over 200 pictures of a VERY well fed family of a momma raccoon and her 3 overweight babies. I almost passed out. I don't know if any of you have this issue but I know one thing. I've never felt my heart sink like it did on that day. Thank go I walked up on 8 fresh beds and was able to watch the points of a decent buck as he moved through the tall grass. and I could tell he wasn't alone. At least the season starts soon and I can't call it a full waste of a day. But it was one day of scouting I will NEVER forget.

I think it may be very convenient. You can easily compare prices in different countries and find your dream hunting. Your opinion is highly needed!
