Go big. He'll be just fine.

I had a little buck with a half rack come by me in late October on some public ground I was hunting. A week later that same buck came through while I was sitting on the opposite side of a major river (above flood stage) a mile and a half away.

I feel bad for that little buck. Before we pile on, let's take a breath and consider a scenario like this: Perhaps that deer has been running during the rut and is not native to your farm. Perhaps a young hunter had a chance to take his/her first buck and couldn't close the deal. Perhaps a...

dbltree, I can't tell how that is finished up against the door and window jambs. Is the siding bevel cut down to meet the jamb or is there some matching casing there forming a pocket for the carsiding? Either way it looks real nice. Sorry to hijack your thread darkarcher.

The emails/letters do work. I know Rep. Bell personally and he is a great guy. We have talked about the legislative process on several different issues in the past and he has stated that he really likes to hear from constituents on all the issues. I have also heard more than one legislator...

If anybody happens to get the AV2009 infection you can download and run a progroam called Malware Bytes AntiMalware (MBAM) to remove it. MBAM is a great freeware package that functions much like Spybot or AdAware.

I bought a Muddy harness in September and hunted in it all season. It's a great product. If you don't have a harness already this deal is darn good deal.

I put my last stand out this afternoon. I probably don't have to tell anybody that it's pretty dog gone warm out today. I adjusted my two main ladder stands by about 30 yards and 75 yards respectively from last year. Little changes that could end up paying off nicely later in the season...

Don't let anybody at the UofI see those or they'll want to collect for trademark infringement on that logo!

Many counties are going toward online services like this: http://beacon.schneidercorp.com/

I hunt the Iowa River basin in Tama county almost exclusively. I'm partial, but it's a great area. 500 acres on the river is a lot of ground to cover. If you're wanting to make the best odds for yourself the best thing you can do is find a trail within sight of the river bank and sit and...

Thank-you insurance lobbyists. Now there will be more question when acquiring health insurance: Question 234a: Do you actively participate in outdoor activities which would require the use of a tree-stand? Question 234b: If you answered yes to question 234a, how many hours per year would you...

I'd got with the culvert. As stated above, backfill with dirt instead of rock. You'll get better compaction around your pipe and it will be more stable. Some 3" stone or crushed concrete would make great rip-rap on either side of the culvert and take care of any erosion issues. The utility...

The first site I ever registered for in college was an ESPN sports board. I didn't have a clue what username to pick so I asked a buddy what I should use. He pulled the word "bucket" out of thin air. I spelled it wrong when typed it in and was stuck with it forever. I've had it now for over...

I'm enjoying reading the responses. One thing I'd throw out there hasn't hasn't been mentioned yet is to use the money to fund an IRA. You can put up to $4k per year into an IRA, more than that if you're over 50 or 55. Doing this in addition to funding a 401k or other retirement investing is...

For most folks it will be: $600 for single people $1200 for married people + $300 per kid A married couple with 2 kids should get $1800. If you make really, really good coin you'll get less. If your tax refund was direct deposited you'll have your money by May 16th at the latest. After 5/16...

Maybe I should think about it...I'd stand a good chance of hitting the target!!!!

I hadn't heard they were doing away with the 3D. I just saw a poster in the Monte Casey's store advertising a shooting league that begins in May and runs through June. Too bad they're not doing the course anymore. It was a fun shoot...but hard on the body and shafts!

A guy over on AT that calls himself BuckNasty has been making custom strings for awhile now and the stuff he's putting out is pretty amazing. I just got a set of strings and cables, shipped with matching colored serving and loop material for $70 to my door. His name is John Mraz. Cool guy and...
