I've killed several deer this year with my homemade feathers and hope to get at least 1 more before our season closes on Feb 1. I started the season with a neat double- a double bearded gobbler on one side of my stand and a doe fawn on the other side of the stand about an hour later. Both...

Indiana is no sleeper state. Sure, there are a few good ones (bound to happen with any state in the Midwest), but with 2 weeks and 3 weekends of gun hunting during the peak of the rut followed by 2 weeks and 3 weekends of muzzleloader hunting, its hard for bucks to hide long enough to avoid...

I've got mine set at 5MP and the daytime photos are as good or better than any other 5MP camera I've seen. I got it for Christmas and it has been running since then on the 1st set of batteries.

The Moultrie I40 and Scoutguard SG550 are both good cams. The Moultrie has better flash range, but the small scoutguard is pretty neat.

Love it! Don't know about ripping hair out of a mount, but I'll be sure to save some hide off my next deer. Merry Christmas!

Shelled corn.

I've got one and am shooting 115 gr. loose powder with a 250 gr. Barnes x-pander sabot. The yardage markers on the reticle are pretty close for me even shooting 35 gr. less powder. Windage is a big problem for me as I approach 200 yds- start to get a lot of drift even with mild wind gusts. I...

Re: Alfalfa - mid December I'm going to give it one more shot- this time with better weed control. I think I'll divide the 1/2 acre strip in half and plant 1/4 acre this spring with oats, then plant the other 1/4 acre around August (probably with oats too). I'll get at least 1 great year from...

Anyone know the difference between the DLC Covert camera and the Scoutguard SG550? I heard that the DLC is a 'tweaked' Scoutguard..not sure if thats true. Obviously its basically the same cam, but the DLC daytime pics appear a bit clearer with better color?

Thanks for the feedback. I did soil test, but did not add P or K. I did use a seed with inoculant. I drug the field to pack and lighly re-drug to cover seed- some seed probably was too deep, but most germinated. I attribute the failed plot to no weed control and overbrowsing and smothering...

Re: Alfalfa - Late November Bear with me and allow me to run this scenario past you.... I have a fairly fertile creek bottom strip in SE Indiana measuring about 500'x50' or about 0.6 acres. I did a late summer alfalfa/clover planting 3 years ago. The planting rec'd no real rain until cold...

I feathered (hinge cut) a hillside of cedars a few years ago. It's growing up thick with blackberries and vines and sprouting young cedars. Its definitely a preferred bedding area. My slope is north facing, and I'm sure it would be even better if south facing.

tlambert- those T/C primers are one of the 'special' muzzleloader primers I referred to. Cabelas also sells a kit where you can make your own adapter to shoot smaller caliber primers. There is a good writeup in last month's Deer and Deer Hunting magazine about various shotgun primer pressures...

Anyone experiment with the special 209 primers made for muzzleloaders or the adapters that let you use smaller primers in 209-ready guns? After reading how various typical 209 primers can put out large pressures that can unseat the load before igniting the powder, I'm thinking this might be...

125 gr. Snuffers. Been blowing big holes in stuff for years with them.

After reading this post, I had to buy all the tools and start making fletches out of the turkey feathers I've been saving. One word of caution- pay attention to the direction of the feather when chopping- I wasted several prime feathers by chopping in the wrong direction ;-(

By far the best camo'd bow I've ever seen- best of luck w/ her this year.

I've only bowkilled a few turkeys- all were with a snuffer and none went anywhere but down.

I wish someone would.........

Nor folkin way. The 2 biggest does I've ever seen "might" be close to 385 lbs. combined weight.
