This year. Not sure why. It's real dry here so today I spent from 7a.m. till now hand watering about 200 plants on 3 different properties. Gave each about 2 gallons. Pumpkins usually respond fast with a good watering. Will see.

I know some of you fellas we're in a big one several years ago. Did you notice any die offs from it? We had 104mph here last Friday and it knocked down Many large trees. I cannot even walk in my woods now. It terrible. Something bigger is dead as I can smell it and have not seen 1 fawn with...

When life throws you a lemon? Usually a self pity party comes first. Then, it we'll, it happens, suck it up. Next is, OK, what am I gonna do. Next is, OK, I'm gonna tackle this " problem ". Once we start tackleing the " problem " , we often times find out it's not so bad. Last Friday...

This is a bit extreme lol. 100mph winds last night. Lost many burr oak,ash and this, my favorite basswood. All of my foodplots are a disaster. Don't know when or if I'll find time to get them cleaned up. HUGE amount of roof damages in a big area around me. Gotta fire up the chainsaw and get...

Do any of you fellas have sponsors? Like get a certain kickback$$ for promoting an item on a t.v./ youtube channel? Gonna go into 2 scenarios that drive me nuts. First one. Bout 10 years ago, a fellow that made custom coyote mouth calls contacted me. This was a time I was doing alot of calling...

Jumped on my riding mower bout an hour ago to mow a small clover field. Just got that done and was heading to my neighbors ( best friends) alfalfa/ rye plot to mow his. Was 50 yards away and a pop up thunderstorm moved in. I thought « oh crap« turned around and headed for the cabin ( 300 yards...

This is my uncles property. He's about 2 miles from me and owns about 4/5 miles of continuous river bottom. He allowed me to put in a foodplot so 3 weeks ago, I mowed,sprayed,fertilized,tilled about a 1/2 acre spot. Planted pumpkins 2 weeks ago (100 plants). They are coming up nicely so early...

Mine was so dismal I laugh thinking back. Lol. What stories you fellas can tell?

Visted with an old bowhunting buddy this morning. On a shelf in his garage was 6 XX75s 2216s from the early 90s. He asked if I wanted them. Sure. Was just looking them over 1/2 hour ago. 2 had slight bends so I screwd on 125g heads on 4, took out my bow with I haven't shot in 6 months, shot...

Looking out my back window now. That small foodplot down the lane is about 120 yards. Important, that lane faces due N.E. Have watched 1000s of deer go through it over the years. ( yes, most are the same deer) Come October through spring time, I heat with wood. Any variation of a SW wind...

Fellas. Question for you. I've got 2, 1/4acre fields tucked in the woods that get good sunlight for 1/2 the day. Had clovers in them last year (Imperial Whitetail) junk! They came in good last year but now they are less then half of what they should be. I'm planning on turnips/ radishes...

Got permission from a family member to put in a foodplot on his property. Started working on it 2 weeks ago. Went to check a cam this morning and on the way back to my truck, a medium sized bear popped out and started following me. Now, I've been hunting bear for over 40 years and have killed...

The does were acting really weird this evening. Grabbed the .22 mag and have had my eyes glued out the back window. Was a super fast glance/ shot at bout 60 yards. Giddy as hell.

Bout a week ago, 2 bucks came through the back yard. One had about 3" and the other about 1.5". Can't say I've ever seen that this early? Not 100% but I think the buck with the 3" growth shed in early January as my buddy found 1 side then. Quite sure this is him. Anyone else ever seen growth...

Has anyone done that? Thinking of planting fast growing radishes in early May, terminating them mid July and reseeding late July. Pros/ cons to this?

Reflecting on some huge bucks taken, I'm starting to realize that all this time/ money we spend trying to grow " big" deer ain't what it's ..... For years, I've planted food plots, put out mineral sites. Always with the assumption that it'll help bucks get bigger. Begginging to think it a bunch...

Your hats fellas. Things are looking nasty for alot of you. Stay safe.

Have got about 15 ladderstands set up and am struggling with them getting wet and squirrels chewing them up. (The seat cushion) You fellas find anything that works well too avoid these problems? All my stands are the type with steel mesh type seats.

Winter of 23/24 I spent a good amount of time doing a bedding cut. Picked away for about 2 months. Was very methodical on how it was gonna be laid out. Area size was about 2 acres total. Trees present were ( lots ) of boxelder, some smaller elm, bigger basswood, smaller hackberry, Big Ash and a...

A few pics. Overall, from late sept, late Nov, I'm guessing roughly 30 bucks hit it.
