Thank you for all you do in the good fight Skip! Our deer are lucky to have your passion fighting so intensely on their behalf. Here's to an awesome weekend dedicated to the deer!

PM sent!

Variety!!! We have been using a mix of sunburst, cave in rock, and RC big rock. Big rock establishes like a lawn grass in no time flat, which helps get the stand started with less weed pressure while the others might take a season to stratify seeds/set roots. We've had stands 6'+ in the FIRST...

Sounds like great commentary - I will be present to do any fact checking required! :P haha!

We got into a nice mess today! Haven’t had great ice seasons here the last couple years, what a way to start this year! Oldest boy (4) caught his very first solo fish through the ice, and got 4 total! Finished up with around 30, 12”avg too! Yummy! Core memory, check.

IMHO - I think the cell cam "issue" revolves more around the ease of use and time spent operating them. There is a way larger number of hunters who are willing to put out a cell cam and never have to check it, as opposed to the amount of hunters that are willing/able to run cards regularly. It's...

Awesome! I sure hope to see more of these types of things in the future with Jace Elliot as our leading deer man in the state. Taking on problems when and where they arise

I believe it has to start at the core of our society. I don't know if its something a legislative action could change quickly. We can sure try, though. I believe it has to come from the community wanting to change. I'm not sure how we make a great case. It'll have to be in conjunction with...

Well said. If we, as a whole community, cannot see what we have done ourselves - we will never fix it. It's either weapon de-evolution, or we go one buck. With the last 20 years, does anyone honestly believe we will have a stable population statewide in the next 20? I hate to fear the worst, but...

truth

SO WELL SAID!

Small tangent, has anyone done beans when a farmer wants to spread pig crap? Does it deter them much, aside from the shatter/loss?

Fall is split kind of similar to archery deer. Bow runs like oct 1-dec 5, and then same time as late archery split. Fall gun is only like oct 13 - dec 5, no late split for gun.

It’s so awful how accurate the last couple sentences are.. Migration corridors for mule deer, etc in Wyoming - completely perfect use of fencing and bridges. This a migration that has occurred as long as modern history itself - and beyond. Our interstates directly impacted this and threatened...

Good read! Pretty darn accurate from what we’ve seen over a decade of working in the timber. Good info
