Just wondering what others do for a portable blind for deer, like one that you would carry in on a hunt each time. I have access to a farm that is mostly open CRP/pasture, with a couple draws that are kind of thin on the trees. I've only hunted it a couple years and still trying to learn the...

One in every tree! Ha ha. But seriously, I typically have 3 on a 180 acre piece, 2 on a 160, and 2 on a 200 acre piece. These last 4 I tend to move around. I also have added one this year to move around on scrapes or other new sign. All are non-cell cams. I could definitely use more as...

Sounds like it's a mixed bag of opinions/experiences. They have only shot either a bow or toy guns a few times as we have yet to get them their own. Since they are right handed, they naturally pick each up to shoot right handed. However, with the gun, they will lean over the stock to use...

So, lately my kiddos have expressed interest in hunting, which I'm all for! I have determined that both are right handed and left eye dominant. I'm right eye/right handed. So the question is, do I teach them to shoot left handed based on their left eye dominance, or try to have them use their...

For anyone that has or is thinking about adding a watering hole/pond as an attraction to a stand location, what is your opinion on minimum size and depth? Flexible liner (i.e. plastic/vinyl sheeting, tarp) or solid tank/pool? Thanks!

It does have a plastic water barrier on one side, so was thinking it might at least cut the wind some. Wasn't thinking about sound, but that does make sense.

Hey guys, wondering thoughts on whether felt flooring underlayment would provide any insulation value in a blind, such as a bale blind. We redid our floors recently and took some of it up. Wanting to put it to use if I can before letting it go. Thanks!

Hey guys, wondering if any of you are using the Wooltimate or Berber fleece from Cabela's or something similar like the Scheel's brand wool clothing. Likes/dislikes? What temps would you use it? Etc. Thanks!

Hey guys, anyone out there using the Arctic Shield products? What pieces? Likes/dislikes about it? Thanks!

Agreed. I had some older 3MP cameras and when they quit and I had to switch to 6MP, I didn't like the pics as much. Plus the camera seemed to zoom in farther so I didn't get as much in the frame. To the OP's question, all I've ever ran have been cheaper cams. I've ran several of the cheap...

Hey guys! I have a hang on stand mounted with two ratchet straps that has a squeak when the platform flexes as I shift weight on it. I've narrowed it down to the bottom strap squeaking. I'm thinking either where the hook hooks the stand (rubber coated hook into hole in angle iron) or where...

I was wondering the same thing. Someone cleans their windows!

Hey guys. Looking for input on what magnification would be good for glassing deer at say 500+ yds with either binoculars or spotting scope.

Anyone out there doing mostly ground hunts? Wondering what people use for a blind to try to stay mobile without having to let a blind sit for a while to let the deer get used to it. Any other tips?

Hey guys, just purchased a UTV and wondering what you all recommend for a trailer to haul. It pretty well filled up the 10' utility trailer I borrowed to haul it home. I'm thinking 12' for a little extra room. Would 14' be overkill? How wide would you go? Single axle or tandem? Anyone know...

Hey guys! Quick question...we have a tree on the farm that had some screw in tree steps left by a previous hunter. It has been several years and so the tree has grown around the foot peg part. Wondering if there is a best time of year to try to remove them (guessing will take plunge cuts with...

I had a few Primos that probably went 6 years. Couple more on year 2 now. Tried cheap Tascos, 2 of 3 made it to year 3 this year. Looking for other options as well.

I know some use these. Wondering what models and how you like them. Thanks!

We've done dryer sheets before, but didn't stop them.

That's a good idea to have a folder for each buck. I never seem to see much of a pattern, but this could help. At what age do you typically start noticing it's the same deer from year to year? Seems like a lot of 1.5 - 2.5 yr olds could be any of the 3.5 yr olds. I set my folders up for...
