agree on the savage 220 slug gun. bought one for my kids and they shot well with it last year for gun seasons after I sighted it in and it is a great shooter with accutip slugs. For you guys who have the Boyd stocks added. Did they fit well out of the box or require much modification? Do...

I was wondering of over the next week or ten days the buck guarding a bedded doe would be the "ticket" to bringing in an old bruiser. I really like the ability of a decoy(s) to bring in both aggressive or sneaky bucks from what I Have seen so far. Hate having to pack them all around but with a...

be safe--take both! ;)

I have had a flambeau buck decoy for a couple years now and finally tried it out this year. Has worked well(2x out) and has gotten bucks attention in a open setting and brought almost all of them in for good shots(only had one basket spook). Was going to ask opinions on decoy use moving...

Dark to Dark Saturday and Sunday. Had movement during midday both days with a only mature shooter at 12:30 yesterday. came to within 35 yards but never offered a clear shot. Bow in hand and ready to stick him. Then he Crossed water where seldom have seen, guess the big boys always seem to be...

I am excited. All I have been thinking about all day while working. Haven't been out since Sunday and think it should be GOOD:D

Cool story! Great buck! Congrats

Keep at it if you are on his pattern, since it will probably change when rut gets going hard. I missed my target buck last year at 35 yds. (dropped arm during shot and went just underneath him) during last week of October. He trotted off a bit and continued to check does and I even watched...

I have used calls and rattled with occasional success but have hardly used scents or decoys to attract bucks. Have always been concerned that I may scare away old bucks\does if not done properly. Do have a couple of spots in mind though where we have stands with good visibility where a...

That's awesome. Congratulations to you and the family!!! I started my daughters all young as you now are and now they have all been able to harvest deer and turkey. Many great memories. Haven't yet taken my wife though, and not sure when I will be able to! ;)

I have not but several times over the years I have seen shooters chasing does out of range and have had them come back through on the same routes. Have often thought of getting down in this situation(been in tree wishing I would have) and could see where it could be successful.

WOW Great story. Congrats on your management success and what an awesome beast!

Lots of great posts and advice. I think you are the only one who can REALLY answer what is most important to you. Personally, I only have a only taken a few deer 5.5 and older but they are probably my most prized trophies. I have many more 140's and 150's that are mostly 3.5 & 4.5's. Still...

wunderground gets my vote...like the ten day chart and hourly forecast. Wind\temp. is almost always spot on and precipitation is as BETTER than any I have tried.

I was able to go check on our food plots for the first time since the heavy rains last Friday which lead to flooding at our hunting farm. Looks like most of our clover will survive as water came up and down quickly but the brassicas and cereal grain mix didn't fair as well. All the little rye...

Figure out the area or area's where you would like to put plots. Mow - spray with 64-80 ozs. roundup per acre -- and SOIL TEST! and as many said before plant clover this fall or early spring and you are prepared for success next year. Soil tests are cheap ($10-20 per test) and will tell you...

Sure does seem to be all or nothing with rain sometimes. Would have loved to share with someone needing it. Had 5" where I am but areas upstream had that or more and looks as though our food plots may go under. Have been fortunate most of this year, was able to get brassicas in back in July...

amen skip....bush Clinton again PUKE

I planted mine yesterday. Supposed to rain Monday or Tuesday. Would much rather be on the early side than too late. Have had too many times where I ve waited until first week of Sept. and then no rain for a few weeks and poor results. Last few years I have watched the forecast and tried to...

With a ph of 6.4 you are ideal for growing clover and brassicas and no lime should be needed. Review your P&k levels and fertilize accordingly. Would retest again every 4 or 5 years.
