thanks, guys!

Hi Gang, I've never used a planter but am considering picking one up. Primarily for beans or corn. Saw this on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1LWfcPmQXY/ I wouldn't be planting more than a few acres. Would appreciate ya'lls thoughts & recommendations on something to look for. I don't...

couple quick thoughts: - try a drag... I like the idea above of a log/fencepost... or add structure up & downstream so a "lesser" drag will snag quicker. I also like the hay idea above. - MB 650's are my favorites - snares: try to incorporate a branch/stick horizontally over the snare so deer...

Hey Paul - I do think the motive revolved around "more opportunity", but this was never discussed in much detail at the meetings I attended. On one hand, I get it. It does seem a bit crazy with all of the 5 acre parcels or public land spots with high hunter densities. On the other hand, I don't...

Indeed progress! I was in Lansing for the April meeting and in Gaylord last week for the May meeting where they voted on the various proposals. Although they tried to sneak in a last minute earn-a-2nd-buck proposal that would've been lower-peninsula-wide, what passed was one buck and there is...

@cchadww - congrats on your first mountain hunt... so exciting!! I've done a lot of western hunts. Depending on the points & cash, specifically from Bass Pro, I'd recommend these: - Kenetrek - Danner Pronghorns - Under Armour (for a cheaper, mid-height, non-insulated...these can be good but...

I think of camo in two ways; 1. Functional - for fit, performance, durability, warmth, all that stuff... is it the right clothing for the task at hand...that kinda thing, so "camo" being the more generic "hunting clothing" in this case 2. Looks - the main thing is its value...

One buck limits aren't meant to kill fewer bucks, generally. They are promoted by us trophy hunters because they improve the age structure of bucks in the herd. Guys that still want to get a buck quickly and move on still can. Guys that want to be selective still can. It's the guys that would...

Ya'll should read and re-read what Skip said there... I agree, it's ONLY gotten easier to kill bucks these past 20-30 years... nothing has been done to benefit the resource except cases like Indiana's move to the one buck rule. I'll personally testify to knowing examples of it's tremendous...

That sounds like amazing action to me! Did you guys try blocking for each other?

I don't think hunters are too good... I just think hunting has become easier ;) LOL Without trail cams, most would fail or simply not go. And you're completely right about the high grading... the wrong deer are getting shot. Years and years of killing the best bucks from a younger age class is...

:cool:

thanks guys, workin on this

good advice above...pay for standing crops and get familiar with a chainsaw...limit your intrusions, play the wind... you'll be off on the right road! Congrats! :)

Obnoxious sponsor plugs was a big reason I started making the instructional DVDs I did many years ago... I was tired of just watching outfitted hunts full of ridiculous sponsor plugs...and learning nothing. Some things have improved, yet there are so many dudes wanting to work in the industry...
