Nothing as cool as chopping heads off, but I hooked into this 28 pounder Saturday morning. Got within 100 yards of the roost on the side of a creek bank. They were on the ground super early. I thought I had way more time to sneak in that I actually did. Just him and 4 or 5 hens. He was very...

Nice work

That was great!

I didn't even know there was any other way other than nailing 2x4s to trees when I first started. At least they clean themselves up when Mother Earth reclaims them. A lot of work, but builds character so they say. :D

I've noticed this as well in the last couple years even without snow. I've just always assumed they'd choose corn over beans when given the choice. With how efficient these combines have gotten over the years I'm surprised they find anything to eat out there...need to target the crappy farmers :)

That's great!

Grateful that November is almost over which gets us 1 month closer to chasing spring gobblers again. [emoji51]

Wow, great season. Curious on that frontal shot. What did you hit? Elevated? What type of head? I took a frontal this year that turned out great, but in hindsight the realization that it could have went sideways pretty easily is still on my mind.

There was a recent wired to hunt podcast that replayed interviews from some researchers. Moon phase for deer doesn't make a lot of biological sense. Breeding time is tuned to put fawns on the ground early enough so that they have the most chance of making it through that first fall/winter and...

I'd like to say I was aiming at specific tuft of hair, but if we're being real is was center mass. The moment of truth is one part of the game that I'm working on. I've gone from complete black out to more of a brown out...so progress! Horizontally you couldn't have gotten more center. Wind...

I really wanted a halloween buck, but had to settle for the day after. The wind was supposed to be out of the north, but there was a lot of nw in there and it was ripping...blowing right towards the creek crossing...not ideal. I wasn't planning on calling, but got a little bored after my 3pm...

Yes! I've always been a good bench warmer. Let me know if anyone on #2 needs refreshments or snacks.

First sit last Sunday. Lots of green stuff, squirrels, and cows. No deer were harmed.
