I know, I hear you. Sounds crazy. Wouldn't you think having a section next to ground owned and managed by Lakoskys for the last 10 years would make a difference? I would think so but I'm just not seeing it. Maybe their food sources are so good and doe numbers so high the bucks don't have to go...
I know they drive the buck fawn from their core area but i'm talking about a square mile section. That fawn can find his own core area away from Mom in a square mile can't he? With intensely managed bucks on the next section over you would think I would get their buck fawns if they were driven...
That is strange. We haven't seen any like this although Lee and Tiff's live video cam down the road from us has a few bucks with this same issue. One of them has had a front leg in that condition since last winter. He is still healthy and grew a big normal looking rack but he sure doesn't like...
From the standpoint of managing buck genetics, i've been trying to harvest mature does. Sounds silly, but here's my theory. One section that I hunt is overrun with 8 pt genetics. It's been that way as long as I can remember. We are trying to shoot 8 pointers but I also want it to be a mature...
I drove by a foodplot just before sunset yesterday coming back from a coyote hunt. I don't know what the guy planted but it had big green leaves. Looked like a spinach field from the road. Anyway it was LOADED with deer. Cornfield to the east had one doe. Bean field to the west had nothing. They...
I shot a few deer with it mounted on my stabilizer. It's great until you release an arrow. At that point the bow naturally tilts forward and the deer leaves the view of the camera. You could try to hold your bow steady after the release but I didn't because I thought it might interfere with my...
And I'm off for 11 days. I should be able to squeeze in around 7 or 8 days of hunting. The weather is a bummer compared to what I'd like to see but I can make some adjustments. I'm excited to see we might get an inch of snow Monday in SE Iowa. That little front might be all we need to get one on...
I have a 2007 Bowtech Allegience and every year when I start thinking about getting a new bow I can't justify it. I have no issues with it and it shoots great. It would be cool to have a brand new one but for what benefit? I just can't find a good reason to spend the money. I'm always looking...
I think 3 or 4 years ago it was like this all through late season. It was terrible for me. I had no food sources that were drawing deer during daylight.
I hear ya there. The temps are definitely a game changer. I'm going to have around 8 days available to muzzleloader hunt starting Christmas. I'm going to start near beans and corn and see what the first couple days bring. It will be interesting. Might not see much at all during the day with the...
Horse Doctor that is outstanding! Great idea also! One of my good friends has a son who is in the Seals stationed in Africa right now. That is a dangerous part of the world as you all know with Boko Haram and the rest of the terrorist nuts. This kid is something special and I am humbled by the...
