Ummm, well if the monster walks up and causes nerve jangle (n..nnnn..nnot mm..meeeee) , you might forget to even turn it on, but it only takes about 3 to 4 seconds of pressure on the ON button to get the little light to come on. then you need to press the record button and hold it 3 seconds until it flashes quickly several times and now it is recording. It will record for 1 hour on a charge and a 4 gig micro SD card. It also will take a still image if the button is pressed and released before 2 seconds or so. It wouldn't be a big deal if you turned it on as you see a buck coming and if you didn't get the shot just turn it off and there is plenty of record room left on the card. PS oh and don't forget to take the sd card out of the computer after viewing videos and put it back in the micro camera....I just did that this afternoon...but no big monster showed up..lucky for him Mark

Ok this is a raw video unretouched testing the Key FOB camera on my PSE INFERNO. Bow is set at 70 lbs. ...31 inch draw...shooting a mix of Beman and Easton carbon 400 shafts and 85 grain target points. Range is 30 yards to the target. Microphone is super sensitive...bow sounds like a gun going off. The camera is mounted on top of the bow stabilizer and it has a fair amount of vibration from the recoil, but I think it will get the good part of the shot at the real thing. Next I will try laser nock to see if we can track the arrow flight a little better......oppps time to go for the real thing!!!! ...Gone hunting Mark Oh and now I see that the time/date stamp is messed up again......looks like land of the midnite sun in Lyntucky This was recorded today 11/6 at around noon.

Seriously, I have to agree to the extent of the deer losses to coyotes over the years. I hunted the Catskill mountains for years and we had very good populations of deer in Otsego and Delaware counties. In fact 35 years ago those two counties were top in deer take during the open seasons with a very high buck per square mile ratio of more than 6. Now less than 2. It has steadily declined over the years and it is directly related to the amount of coyote in the hills. My hunting friends are well aware of the fawn kill in the spring. Witnessed by a good friend was a fawn being killed in broad daylight in an open field on his mother's farm. He killed that coyote a day later in the field with a fawn distress call and a 12 guage buckshot blast. I haven't hunted over there in years since leaving that area for western NY, but I find myself reluctant to even go over there because of the low prospects of sighting a good deer population. I was just camping over there in a state park and at night the yotes were singing in stereo all over. Sure sign that it's not getting better. Here, we have less coyotes in Orleans county (there are some dedicated hunters for them out often), as I have been hunting near the Lake Ontario Shoreline. Not saying we have none here cause I have encountered them in the past just not nearly as much as in the open woods of the Catskills. There is limited amount of "big woods" here and the terrain is open farmland with a lot of human activity in the orchards, and thick undergrowth where allowed to grow up uncleared. Great for cover, not so great for hunters to access, thick man eating briar, and willow, vines and such that a machete would be good but not practical. So the deer are pretty well adapted to that "jungle life" or just move to the residential areas where less chance of a coyote encounter is higher. Thus the sightings of large bucks are good along the thruway towards Buffalo. I think the difference in populations of deer are directly related to the coyotes population on these observations. The hunting pressure seems a little more concentrated here.... but that I think is due more to the lack of large woods and most hunters want to be in the open woods. Expansive thickets are the places never penetrated by hunters and unless a drive is put on during the gun season. Those pressured deer that have the jungle life is neither conducive to coyotes or hunters. Just my observations. Mark

OK, here is how I finally got the time date stamp to load properly. 1. Be sure the camera is charged up. and connected to the computer with the USB cord. 2. go to the microcamera site http://www.themicrocamera.com/pages/Set ... -Date.html .....click on the TAG.txt download. ..... it gives you a YYYY, MM, DD, HH, MM, and ss 3. select all the text by highlighting it and then right click to copy. 4. Go to your notepad program in the program files open a new note. then paste (right click) on the new note. 5. then simply change the text copied to the new note to the correct time and date plus a few minutes to give you time to do the rest of the operation. 6. Now under file choose "SAVE AS" then type TAG.txt in the file name line. The other line will choose where in your computer 7. Go to "computer" to see the disk files and hardware connected to your computer. Choose the drive that is the microcamera (Drive "G" on my computer could be different on others depending on hardware connected at the time) just locate the correct drive and open it. 8. now in the field under the DCIM files you should see the new text file you created under that. 9. Now close all the windows associated with TAG file creation and the window showing the computer drives. 10. Go into your tray at the bottom right corner of your screen click on the icon to safely remove harware and it should say "ok to remove hardware". and disconnect the camera from the USB port. 11. shut off the camera and then turn it back on. 12. now take a picture or video and plug the camera back into the USB. a window appears and chose open files. click on the DCIM to view the picture. double click on the picture file to open it and see if the date matches your TAG file you modified. If you give yourself enough "future" time in the text file, for all this to go thru, you should have a close match to actual time when you turn on the camera. Just be sure to turn on the camera at the same time you adjusted the text to. I know this sounds complicated, but works if you do this just this way. I was trying to copy and paste the file to the wrong part of the root by manually selecting the sd card files....don't do that....I was going crazy and then got brain lock causing even more frustration. Also the video will open and play with Quicktime player if you have trouble getting video to start with media player. Hope this helps if you have the date stamp issue as I did. Mark

Uh OH...looks like Ray is trying to come up with an answer ...I think it comes out to be 14....Maybe Musky can get a new brain twister out of this. Or un-twister RAYYYY!!! what have you done!!!! aaaarrggghhhh Mark

Let me know when they plan to open bear season Pete. I would like to get some rugs for my cave. Ray said they are inedible somewhere in a post I saw, but I did like the skull artifact he had done too. Maybe some claws on a necklace. Mark

Treebark ....good ground camo in big woods trees. Nice buck, way to go!!! Mark

Very nice pair of bucks.....congratulations on a successful hunt Mark

just got mine, works good ..only one problem it has the wrong time date stamp on images. tried the TAG.txt file created and saved to the root of the camera driver like the web site suggested but cannot get it to display the right time date stamp. Any body else have this problem and did you solve it?...not a big deal but would be nice to have correct time stamp. Mark

Seems like the police would rather not keep writing accident reports (car/deer MVA) ...and let the hunters try to thin down the deer population a little without worry of a ticket. Isn't that what the DEC is giving out all those extra permits for in these areas near the lake? Mark

Excellent story Shawn, and congratulations on a very fine buck. Mark

Change yer meds Ray...

Got mine coming .....attach to arrow and launch....flying>>>WHACK!!!>>>>fur>>>meat>>>bones>>>>innards>>>ribs>>>light>>>>flying>>>umph...DIRT!!!! ENJOY

Fast forward to outta school gone to college and learned all he knows from his instructors...most not agreeing with your particular style of learning.(old school). Trying to pass along what dad has learned form years of experience negotiating all the curves, not just in the car, but in life can become very derailed in these liberal times. ..and so the child grows up to early adulthood and knows it all cause he learned what the grease gun is for already all by himself. He will tell dad...yup it's a grease gun and I already know what it's for, but I don't want to get involved with something that might cause me to get dirty, so I will let someone else do it for me weather it turns out right or wrong. Then I will complain if it's not what I expected the outcome to be and blame the screw up on the ones doing all the work. "Generation landslide"

Beautiful....way to go!!!!! [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

Nice buck, great shot, first week of November for me is all I get......time....shorter and shorter all the ....time. Ray, Ive done all yer scouting for ya... I'm in Indiana and Ohio three trips this week, looks like they are all laying around in big bloody splashes down the roads. with any luck I'll miss a big one for ya. Mark

just go by the ethanol plant in Medina (near the oak) and see how much heat and energy is being spewed into the atmosphere burning natural gas to make the white lightning. ...Not to mention the stink from it when the wind blows towards your nose. Mark

Trout are in the creek channel usually and hit perch jigs often when you are trying for perch. Wax worms are good on Swedish pimple too. Wilson is kind of a smorgasbord of fish. Bluegills and crappie are in the back of the bay. [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

You can do well in the back bays for pan fish and trout. I have had great success with jigging trout through the ice in Wilson harbor. Perch there are a bit small but there is always a chance for big pike as well. [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

Very sad to hear the bad news Vic. Godspeed to you and all your loved ones healing. Mark and Cher
