We were supposed to head up this Saturday

My daughter got hers Friday morning. Toms were hung up with hens but coaxed a mad hen into the spread and the toms followed. Short but fun hunt.

The buck was quartering away when I released but he took a step before the arrow got there. By the time the arrow made impact he was almost facing straight away. Arrow went in low belly next to his sac and came out at base of brisket. 2” higher and he wouldn’t of made it 50 yards or 1” lower and...

Took a 60 yard shot on the morning of November 5th at this guy and watched him walk away hurt which at the moment I thought fatal. After 2 days of blood trail, backing out, listening for yotes, trail cam three days later of him making a scrape etc... I assumed he’d survived but by pure chance my...

Spine shock can and does happen with guns. I shot a buck with a rifle last month and he dropped like a bag of hammers. Called a buddy to come help me get him out and while I was on the phone he stood up and started walking away like nothing happened, was able to get a couple more in him though...

Keep at it. I hit a buck on the morning of the 5th. Initially I thought good hit but maybe a little low. I watched him walk about 10 yards after the hit and stand for 5 min with tail tucked and then just walk off without another shot opportunity. I got down and backed out. Gave him 8 hours and...

Everything will be flooded in the river valley. May be hard to find an open rental with all the displaced flood victims. I drove through neb city to Sidney last week for work, still a lot of water and road construction. Good looking country up in the hills, good luck with your search. Sent...

I enjoy hunting them off of the roost. Its also easier to get away to hunt from 5-8 while the wife and kids are sleeping. I’ve taken youth for about 6 years now and haven’t had a problem getting them birds but I don’t hunt public. My kids aren’t old enough to hunt yet but I can’t imagine being...

Cool/cold spring kind of put a damper on the earlier start this year. I was all for moving it up a week for a better hunting experience but I mainly hunt them with a bow. I figured this would get brought up now that the temps are soaring but typically around here early in the season is better...

I just paid $700 for a Montana deer tag, seems fair to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You will hear all kinds of different opinions on when and when not to call. In my experience there really is no right or wrong answer. What works today won’t tmrw. Turkeys are strange creatures, just when you think you have them figured out they will throw you for a loop. The only real advantage...

I don’t know about legality issues but I fondled the new ravin at cabelas last week and was intrigued. Very small and compact. Had a scope on it with drop compensation out to 100 yards. If it wasn’t for the $2400 price tag I would buy one to play with. Might be minority here but I’d vote them...

It’s going to take BIG farms to insulate from this in the long run. They may not see the quality decrease as fast but eventually everybody would be affected. Can’t say any of this surprises me. The brown it’s down crowd has nothing to lose. I said it before years ago. If the quality of hunt...

No need to be curious about that, just go back up and reread through all the post slowly and you will find the transition and how we got here. Let me know if you need any further help and I will do my best. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Curious why that matters to so many? Why should anybody care who shoots the deer? If a group of 20 guys/gals has 20 tags and fills them all, why does it matter to anybody other than the said group who shoots the deer? 20 deer tags bought by 20 different people filled in 20 different ways still...

I understand that but when I hear ppl say they want to eliminate party hunting I get the impression that they are talking about deer drives more than sharing tags. Maybe I’m wrong but most time it gets mentioned here it’s all about how unethical party hunting is. Everybody is out shooting at...

I believe it will be the compromise. End shotgun party hunting, add rifle season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Party hunting will end when Iowa opens rifle season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe I’m a little off key here but I don’t see ppl rushing into late season with a crossbow? Most ppl I know that bowhunt forget about that unfilled tag and grab the muzzy. The diehard guys that sit in the late season cold with a bow in their hands are not cut from the same cloth as someone...
