Bushnell PowerView 8 x 21mm Binoculars

Bushnell PowerView 8 x 21mm Binoculars I hope everyone is having a good week, I'm still trying to get over my cold here, went hunting the last two anterless season at my husband's grandpa's farm, I'd see deer in the morning but nothing at night. Also Sunday morning the last day of the season I had a buck seriously in front of me, such an adrenaline rush for me. I want to say it was about 8 points or less, but after that morning since I hadn't seen anything else, I walked it off to see how far it was from me, 32 step, crazy too bad it was a buck though and not a doe. :D  Anyways today I'm posting a review about the Bushnell PowerView 8x21 mm Binoculars, I bought them this year back in October so that I could use while deer hunting because I have a hard time seeing if what I'm seeing is just bush or if its a deer. I get to the point sometimes everything to me looks like a deer to me. I actually like these binoculars, yes it can be a pain when you fog them up with your breath, but these actually work and you can see at the end of the field.  Bushnell PowerView 8 x 21mm Foldable Binoculars: Field of View @ 1000 yards: 378 ft Eye Relief: 10 mm Bushnell Powerview binoculars with roof prism Compact size Fully coated optics for superior light transmission and brightness Non-slip rubber armor absorbs shock while providing a firm grip Contemporary styling Foldable binoculars fit inside a pocket or purse 8x magnification Center focus system Includes soft carry case, lens cloth, neck strap you can get these here @ Wal-Mart for $20.99

I'm going to apologize in advance so far for not posting like I've been wanting too because I've been extremely busy with work, hunting, and also being sick on top of that! Only two more days left...I think these last two days I'll be hunting on my husband's Grandpa's farm so that I can hopefully get a deer, since I'm not having very much luck here and plus I don't do the alternative. Trop Gun Shop is having a 25 Guns of Christmas Giveaway that they are giving away one gun to someone each day for 25 days, so if your into Gun Giveaways you should go enter in with the link provided below:

Nerves get the best of me

Nerves get the best of me....

Well I'm on my kindle at the moment so I'm going to apologize in advanced for no pictures or any misspelled words there may be in this blog.....

Been catching a lot of possums, survived Wal-Mart black Friday sale, as well as Bass Pro black Friday sale which was a nightmare everyone was going for pants, ammo, and the metal ammo boxes....me on the other hand got the game cameras that I wanted, hoodie to replace  mine from when our field was one fire...some sleep pants and a flashlight deal....

Anyways the reason the title was the way it I, is that I hadn't seen any deer....Been playing with my deer call for the past couple days messing with the different settings....well I got done grunting in this one field and was walking back to where I normally set at and notice  something white....used my binoculars and saw that it was a deer....but it was too far to really get a shot.....so I crunched down and started to stalk down towards it.....stood back up and still could only see the head (noticed now there was a total of two deer),crunched back down and went further  down....stood back up and thought I was at a spot I could take a shot.....my problem is that my arms feel like hello...and am very wobbly.....so I tried setting my sight on the deer....must have missed because it ran off with the other deer....couldn't find any traces of blood....which yes people may make fun of me especially since I started crying because I was just so frustrated at myself....so yes anyone can poke and make fun of me but no one is in my shoes and I'm only human....but hoping since the wind will be in my favor tomorrow that I'll have better luck....

Hoping by this week I'll be able to add  some pictures of sunrise and sunsets that I've taken plus pictures of products I've tried, etc.

Thanks

Sorry only got two, because I guess the third picture wanted to be a pain...so will be adding it to this page here later.

 This possum on the top is one I caught in a regular size cage and as we can see by the color its the new one I had bought at Tractor Supply Company, as well as the one in the bottom it was from the bonus cage that was inside my trap form Tractor Supply Company which is the extremely tiny trap. It was kind of a struggle to get this little guy out of the trap (which was baited with mink lure).

I know that I said I was going to bait with Sardines but instead I baited with a different type of fish which I'll be posting later on, of course I couldn't find anymore of it at the store the last time I went, hoping I'll find more soon because it just works as good as Sardines, which I'll take pictures of them and tell you where I get them and approximately how much they are.

Thanks 

So many questions

So Many Questions

Well sorry no pictures tonight...still waiting for them to download at the moment, if not may have to retry again tonight since having issues with the internet....ugh.

Still no sign of deer, haven't seen any at all, its just been a bad year for me when it comes to deer hunting this year. Oh well. I have so many questions and hope I'll get some feedback, it would be highly appreciated. When you are trapping for predators do you trap with the foothold type traps or live cages? I have this huge live trap that my husband bought me last year to use for trapping, I haven't ever caught anything in it...Any suggestions, or what type of bait do you use that is really good for catching predators? Its one of those traps that have the bait box built within it that separates it from the trap. Those are the questions running through my mind at the moment, so any suggestions on trapping would be awesome.

So far lately I have been catching nothing but possums! but I let them go, hope to add those pics here soon.

Also Sunday since I felt like a wet rat after trying to go hunting in the morning (it was doing nothing but raining) and since I got back early I went to town and bought some throw n grow for next year @ Wal-Mart and at Tractor Supply, but on the way to Columbia since I cut through the back roads, I saw a family of skunks which was neat, and a field of turkeys. Of course Sunday night when I went hunting its the first time in years that I had seen this so here in the story: I was sitting at my normal spot on Sunday night and saw something huge fly into the tree, I thought at first it was an owl just because of the size of it. Well shortly after that more started flying into the trees and they were huge and noisy. I figure since it was almost already getting dark I said piss on it I'm gonna go see what they are, sure enough as soon as I got close I could tell it wasn't owls but a flock of Turkeys of course I scared them into the neighbors property where they had harvest corn, but it is the first time I have ever seen Turkey back there. I thought it was neat....

Thanks

First Coon

First Coon

Sorry everyone I didn't take a pic of it because it was extremely late and was kinda frustrated already as it was about other things, but my husband shot a coyote yesterday while deer hunting, didn't get a deer, and saw a lot of possums. Still haven't seen anything deer wise except for my mess up on Monday morning and missed both times on that deer, I still know it was a buck only because it was by itself and pretty much had its nose to the ground following  a trail, found my scrapes on the ground other places on our property, but still haven't seen any deer-so again my not get a buck (did get a button buck during 2012, doe 2013), so who knows.

Anyways before I talk about the coon, this morning I caught two possums in my trap (let them go because possums are not worth much), and talked to my husband, saw pretty much everything this morning (deer, turkeys, coyotes (didn't get a shot/ didn't see any deer that he wanted (wish I had that problem...lol I'm not picky though, if I see a deer I will shoot it)).

So now to the coon, I shot it and brought it to the house so that I could skinned it (first time I've done my own skinning-it was interesting), had my husband help me which is good since I'm not confident enough yet to do it on my own, anyways my husband was moving the coon lower for me so that I could finish working on it, and must have done something because next thing you know I got sprayed in the face, arms, got all over the ground, I pretty much got peed on by a dead raccoon (lesson learned, don't stand in front of a dead coon while your husband is lowering it for you so you can finish working on it)....yeah it was an interesting night for sure.

Hoping I'll have better luck tonight.

Thanks
