Just got my new blind all placed yesterday then started going through the literature and saw this.

I have a couple buddies who sorta got into the long hangtime thing. They'll shoot a deer in Nov then let it hang a week or more. We always get some nice mild days and the flies get active again. I always think to myself how the heck are they keeping flies off the carcass. I think the answer...

Do you have a couple pics you'd be able to share?

I was also told that's the preferred method if you have a wood deck trailer to drill through. I had an aluminum trailer, so he told me to strap over the top. Hoping someone asks the company.

I bought one this summer and had to trailer it home an hour. The dealer said to not use the eye bolts for securing it, but rather to use multiple straps going over the roof. Drove no faster than 45 at any point. Had to stop twice to readjust straps. He seemed to want them relatively tight...

Great post Windlooker. I agree with it all.

Haven't been able to look at my frost seeded RC Big all summer. It's on the wrong side of a corn field. We've had good rain this summer. I'm hoping it's 6' tall, but it is whatever it is.

Did winke shoot a buck in '23? Didn't he say a year or 2 ago that he was only going to give it another year or so on that new farm before moving on to greener pastures?

The kids couldn't help themselves. Guess we'll be storing some in the basement til September sometime.

Our 3 pumpkin patches seem a little on the weak side this year. We had seeds dug up early on, replanted them with saved seeds, had varmints chew pumpkins recently, had grass and weeds take over the patches. We got 2" of rain the past few days and it should help make fruit on the outer tips of...

Just spitballing here, but what makes 00-11 the best it's ever been? I'm wondering if there's a chance people just think it was, while in reality it really wasn't. It was before social media blew up. It was before trail cams blew up. People wanted attention for the big buck they shot. They...

We're a cwd section. Have had snipers working on our deer for 10 years. Some of my neighbors stopped shooting does. Other neighbors may take 1 or 2 a year. Based on crop damage alone, we seem to have too many deer again. But I know you can't just base it on my crop damage alone. Trail cams...

I think they mostly go into museums, Bass Pros etc

These were the sheds. I think the buck got poached the next year and the man was fined 20K or something. https://antlersbyklaus.com/product/rathbun-lake-sheds/

How close is that to where the Rathbun Lake buck came from? I know it doesn't matter, just curious.

Land has been very hard to buy nearly always. Almost never has it cash flowed at the time of purchase. Most land purchases mean someone is sticking their neck out. Get sick of hearing "oh only if I had bought when land was cheap." Wait til land gets cheap and see how much you want to buy.

Junk farmland in parts of IL can fetch upwards of 10 to way over 10, even 15. Makes class A land in other parts of the state that sells for 15 seem like a kmart blue light special.

Are the friction hinge windows holding up OK on the blinds as they age beyond a year old? Anything else to be wary of? Anyone else painting the inside of these black? I really like my blinds black on the interior. Have curtains been discussed anywhere? Available to purchase or need to be...
