Congrats, iowadave! He's a dandy. It's a treat to watch 'em go down in view of the stand you're in. No wondering if the shot was good enough. No sleepless night if you back out in order to return in the morning.
The smile says it all. Nicely done!

I help the local farmer get his crops out of the field. That'll concentrate the deer back into the timber where they're MUCH more vulnerable to a dose of high velocity carbon poisoning. :D
I'd rather NOT have cattle on my property. Maintaining fence is just another one of those chores that needs done from time to time. It's not complicated work. It's also not glamorous work.
But, like mowing the lawn, it always gives a feeling of satisfaction when it's all done and done well...
bowhuntr311 has hit the nail on the head with this one. My family loves this recipe. Takes a bit of work to do, but is worth it.
I would add one thing here: sometimes (not often, mind you) there will be a roll or two left over after the meal is done. I've frozen these and nuked 'em in the...
I understand the desire to see all the potential trophies passing through a property. I also understand that drawing deer in with a tasty, simple, easily-provided snack helps toward that end.
I don't agree with bait being available 24/7/365 in our state. In the years I've lived and hunted...
Interesting question. Does anyone know if certain brands of carbon arrows tend to bend more at the ends vs the middle of the shafts?? I was always under the assumption that there were imperfections of allignment throughout the entire length of the shaft. I couldn't cut off the "inferior bit"...
Mine come off the arrow and get placed into a fishing tackle box that I use for my small bits of archery stuff. I keep all kinds of things in it, but the bh's get a spot all their own.

Do you think the willow trees you planted had a chance to establish themselves? If so, the chances the tree will recover are quite good. I'll be interested to hear how they grow for you this year. Best of luck,

We've had a pumpkin patch on our property for the last 5 years. We get a nice production, but I agree that there are far better ways to use that ground to plant an appealing food for deer. Pumpkin vines take up an incredible amount of space and do not usually produce pumpkins in tight...
