Thanks Ron, like I had emailed you earlier, I have the right antler from last year off of the larger of these two deer, and it was right under a 70 inch antler, unfortunately it doesn't look like he added much mass or tine height, so I'm not sure what he'll come in at this year, but I think I'd...

Ron, stop by my house sometime, or I'll try and bring the camera in to our next 3D meeting. The scene is blurry, you definitely get the picture. I'd wanted to try doing something like that for a while, but where I used to hunt, there was always the chance someone else was there, making me...

Last Thursday was beautiful down here in SW Iowa. My friend and I were hunting a long the Page Taylor county line, and by 6 we had already had two toms in fly down into our field. One of the birds looked real big, the other about average. Unfortunately, they didn't like the looks of my...

Let's just be honest here. A buck taken with a bow vs. a buck taken by a party hunter. Which is more of an accomplishment? I wish the state could ban party hunting, but that makes me a commie leftist, so I'd at least like them to make taking an antlered buck off limits to party hunters. Where...

My cousin custom makes brush guards for people. He makes some moose guards for people up in Canada on occasion as well. Wonder who they applied the camo, it looks like they would have had to it off frame to do it, but I'm probably wrong.

I'd like to see the antlerless season occur during late november, prior to shotgun season. Also, we could use the earn a buck model for archery and gun season as well. I don't like late season antlerless, too much stress for too long of time period during bad weather.

Two questions...Jake, are you saying this is a BS bill, or that us complaining about it is BS. Two, if you can't see why this would have gun owners, or people who value the rights of citizens in general, upset, then you have issues.

I have the same problem on a piece of ground that I hunt on. It's prime ground and only one other person has permission to hunt. However, every Sunday when the landowner goes to church, his DB neighbors head to his timber. They don't wear orange, which doesn't bother me so much, but its about...

I grew up shotgun hunting for deer here in SW Iowa. However, I've never participated in a "drive", my grandpa thought that drives weren't very sporting, and instilled in me that hunting is about the experience, not just a means to an end. Having said that, I respect any hunter who abides the...

I ran into the same problem last night. I ended up on a fenceline under a row or 3 cedars. I cut some branches for shooting lanes and used those branches to help conceal myself. It worked great, three bucks and about 15 does passed by me within 30 yards, and I had an old ugly racked deer come...

I was dumb enough to stay out all day, in a climber 20 foot up, saw plenty of deer, even a decent buck, but it didn't matter....my tree was moving so much my pin was all over the place.

So, you guys, Jake and Avid, don't think Obama is anti gun owner? I know the NRA is a biased source, but cross check what they say about his record in Illinois and in the Senate. He supported the Kennedy Amendment to the Lawful Commerce of Arms Act. This amendment would have made most of the...

LOL, he's not 250, closer to the 2oo or 210 area. I agree, looking back it was a dumb shot to take, so many things I could have done differently, whistled to stop him, yelled to stop him, grunted. I also could have not shot and just waited for the last hour to see if they would come back out...

Well, the good news is I can sleep better at night, the bad news is the deer can as well. I walked around for an hour last night, and had a friend with me. He ranged my shot at closer to 220, meaning, not a snowballs chance in hell that I hit it. I don't know how I could have underestimated...

I hope it was a clean miss, I've just never had a deer stop when shot at. I'm going back out today at 330, I'll just head to where I last saw him and start looking. Who knows, maybe I'll find him dead or even on the hoof. If I can manage to kill him, I'll definitely be posting pics, as he is...
