I had issues as well but I think I had to delete the app and then reinstall it. You might want to see if it needs to be updated as well

I'm doing the image posting on my phone only because that's what I have with me and any time I put my phone photos on the computer their resolutions, sizes, etc get blown up and no matter how small I make them I can't post to any forum. Believe me, I've tried. I have to use Tapatalk or something like that because it is the easiest thing to do. PM me when you hear back from ProBoard.

Ok so I just ended up using postimage.org and it worked great! Now the story. Had an 8 pt walk behind me, I could see it was extremely similar to the buck I shot from that stand last year, so I let him walk. He leaves heading down an ATV trail literally where I walked in and I am surprised he didn't act like he smelled that. Turn around, looking for deer, ten minutes or 5 minutes later I see tallish, tight racked antlers less than 40 yards away and heading right for my stand! Saw the antler characteristics, saw the good height, knew "My deer." Stopped him with a quick bleat, then shoot. The Grim Reaper crossbow whitetail broadhead on a Decimator bolt knocked him down despite not quite getting the lungs! Well guess the broadhead is now stuck in his shoulder blade, it didn't come out with the bolt. Bleeding good, down, legs not moving as easily, front shoulder that's hit is not supporting movement too well and he therefore can't get up. 20 minutes later while I'm on my phone letting everyone know a small 6 pt walks behind me down taking the same path as the 8 pt. Buck on ground still fighting hard. Shot was at 8:45ish. It's now 10:00 and buck is weaker but still breathing and moving a bit. 10:10ish my dad gets up to the spot and I get down (mind you the buck is watching and hearing all this from 15 yards away!) My dad (who has a lifetime license) sends a bolt through the lungs. This is around 10:17 am. Around 10:25 I walk down to the ATV (borrowed from a friend who used to own the property and still lives in the house) to put some things in it. A spike shows up right beneath our double ladder stand just 25 yards from the ATV while I am standing there. He didn't seem to know or care that I was there in the open. Head back up the slope to the ridge top after he leaves. Buck still not dead! Persuade my dad to let me attempt to send a bolt through the heart. Well buck get pinned, but bolt misses the heart by mere inches or fractions of an inch. Deer still alive but with three bolt holes. Can't believe he still breathes normally! 10:45, my dad slits the jugular. Deer fights hard to live and manages to make it nearly 10 more minutes. Still dealing with reflexes afterwards which makes handling a bit dangerous. Finally deer dead and gutted and in the ATV. Really hard to have to wait that long when they are on the ground right in front of you. Typically you hear of animals taking that long to die running away and either going to and staying in a nearby hidden bed or going for a long distance. Not animal taking it long to die being unable to move from where they were shot right in front of you and you can't do anything cause you'll really spook them if you climb down.

Thanks! I'm still excited about it. Buck number four for me in ten years of hunting. Bucks 2, 3, and 4 all taken out of the same stand same property, and 3 and 4 on days nearly a year apart with the exact same conditions! First 10 pt (Buck 3 from last year has 8 scoreable points, 9 countable points, and one protrusion that is asking to become a tenth point) This one has 10 scoreable points and a protrusion asking to become number 11. I don't recognize this deer. First buck with a split tine. I've seen one other split tine buck, back in 2015 Dad took me out crossbow hunting one incredibly beautiful October morning and a giant nontypical 12 came between us that had split tines, kickers and drop tines with super wide massive and chocolate colored antlers (or was it mahogany?). This will also be my first tight racked deer. Now that I have my buck on the ground, I can experience less buck fever when bucks show up (yes my buck fever gets bad with any and every shootable deer, except after I have already filled the tags! Big buck seen last year gave me buck fever, but I stayed calmer than I had used to, because I knew I couldn't shoot). Now I will get a bit of buck fever when a doe comes through and gets in the way of a bolt or bullet. Oh, and the turkey fever will be horrible too if one makes it way within shooting range for archery.

Just about the best weather for open week of bow season in a long time. Perfect for hunting. 40s to 30s over night.

I'm back out. Took the long way to my blind that is overlooking a pond. I changed my mind mid walk. I found some fresh scrapes on my way out of the woods this morning so I decided to place a camera on them this afternoon. 5 fresh, either overnight after the rain or this morning, scrapes that were no further than 10 yards apart. The image marked with the red "X" is where the scrapes are. All though the wind feels cool, I'm completely blocked by the woods and it feels pretty warm. I'm banking on the deer looking for a drink. Good luck everyone! Hunt safe and God bless!

Got setup for my evening hunt about 30 minutes ago. Back on an oak island in a swamp on public land. Acorns all over the place surrounded by water with bedding all around. I’ve gotten quite a few big buck pics from this area in the last few years, but this is the first time hunting it. We will see how the night goes, but gosh, it’s good to be up in a tree with this weather.

I barely got settled in the stand and saw 6 does slip into the powerline ROW I'm at and start feeding. Unfortunately they're 150 yards away. Hopefully corn is cut this week.

In for my first sit of the year as well. Nice and cool with a strong breeze. Unfortunately jumped a deer under this stand on my way in.
