Not yet DexterDay, I need a tripod for the camera first. It's like watching paint dry. :cool: Smokin might have some vids but I'll see if my old tripod fits our newer camera then maybe next weekend I can take some.

Not yet weatherguy, I did buy some spray you use on your clothes you wear in the woods, my work clothes need spraying this year, they say it's good for six washes. I also try and take a good hot shower right after I get out of the woods.

This is the tick spray....http://www.cabelas.com/product/Sawyer-Duranon-Permethrin-Insect-Repellent/714807.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=/catalog/search.cmd?form_state=searchForm&N=0&fsch=true&Ntk=AllProducts&Ntt=tick+spray&WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products&x=8&y=15&Ntt=tick spray&WTz_l=Header;Search-All Products
