I have a couple questions for walnut. 1. Is there a certain diameter that they need before they would cut? 2. Is there a general minimum number trees that a logger would want before they would bother with it?

They love to eat white pine needles when they are young. Will eat and rub on young ones like crazy. Great winter food for them and they love to just hang out in them when they start to get some size. They grow fast as well if protected.

Awesome buck! The double drop sounds incredible too, any pics of him? (trying to imagine a 145 with double 10" drops)

I have two permission peices, hunted each close to 15 years. I ask permission every year. It wouldnt feel right to me to pull in to hunt having not asked for that current season.

The decline in access is a huge reason why I bought. I could see 5, 10 15, 20+ years from now if I want to keep hunting I need to own ground. I've lost several permission pieces, so buying became a priority. Another thing that I think needs addressed and is probably less likely to change is...

Look at this heifer, she seems well fed.

Saw that, glad you guys ended up finally having some luck. Sure is nice how after tough walking just getting one can change your whole attitude

Anyone have much luck this year now that the seasons about over? I usually make it out 2-4 times each year. Between couple ditches, one public place, and permission on some private. Christmas eve I went out to the ditch that usually has some birds I walk every year. Its about a 3 mile walk one...

I really feel like Group #1 is growing. I think in 2024 Group #1 has really gained some traction. Just watching some things on facebook you can see by the likes and posts that more people are starting to care, or are atleast speaking up. I find it very exciting for the future and do believe we...

I probably get 6 months worth out of the batteries in my tactacams, give or take.

I dont plan to ever send anything in for testing as things are now. CWD has been around for atleast decades and as far as I know it has not affected humans, people have been consuming wildgame that entire time. I'll I've seen done about it is the state agencies just want to kill off as many deer...

Definitely he first I've every got a pic of a shed buck already, one side atleast. It is nearly January though, another few weeks and I'll likely have a few picked up.

yep. ive sat there and start to add everything up while in the stand. Sticks, stand, lifeline, bowhanger, pack, boots, base layers, outlayers, gloves, waist mit, neck gator, stocking cap, harness, binos, range finder, release, broadheads, arrows, sight, arrow rest, quiver, grunt call, rattle...

Ive had a couple of different days this month where my cams were on fire. Lot of activity with different bucks moving around. It made me wonder if a doe was in estrus or was just a random day for whatever reason. Most days my cams this month have been pretty dead though.

You are and have lived the life many only dream of. You're never afraid to take an opportunity and run with it!

This guys been around and quite regular. Guessing he is 2 y/o and has 12 scoreable points.

Same county as you. Last fall i was getting lots of pics daily and seeing good #'s while hunting. Come the end of december I noticed a downtick in pics. Went to shed hunt last winter and found 7-8 dead along the creek and wasnt specifically looking for them. Then this year cameras slow and...

I hunt 3 different properties, 4 if you count the urban city park I hunt. 2 are in central IA. One property is pretty dang slow. It used to be loaded when I started hunting. Its only about 10 acres, I should say the section/area use to be loaded. Urban sprawl has no doubt impacted it, but its...
