So cool, congrats!

That's a Plymouth County buck if I've ever seen one - guaranteed! Giant!!!

Great buck, congrats!!

I think diversity is key - so I vote plant em! Seems like in today's world there's always a new pest or disease coming and if you've got variety, then you've got insurance your whole orchard won't be wiped out by whatever is next. Plus deer love any apple right?

Zero hesitation - shooting! My dream IA predator to get!

I agree - got any pics. I may have something close laying around

Both youth tags - one anysex and one antlerless

There were a few really helpful things we used for Hudson. Tripod was one, it's basically a BOG Death Grip, except mines been pieced together with old filming tripods from the past. Something that helps with these tripods is to clamp them as close to center weight as possible, which is by the...

Our oldest son has become quite the hunter. Started last summer when he was 3.5 shooting nerf guns at wildlife on TV. He loved it. Then shot balloons with the .22 that summer and that began the gun safety lessons. If you want to make shooting fun and easy for kids, blow balloons up as big as you...

I'll start - I'd guess 4.5

I can't think of any. If I'd take the time to tune my bow again and get the Slick Tricks to fly well again I'd go back to them in a heart beat. Until then I shoot Schwackers.

I know just the place for you Skip! We did one of these trips on a trophy pike lake in Canada and lets just say... I wouldn't stick my toes in those waters... Canada's version of alligators swimming all over

I had a response all typed up but Daver and the others nailed it - fall best, spring #2, summer can work if you can baby them since they're in your yard

Yup on all of the above - I've been burned when I didn't clean out chemical, even if just for a couple weeks. It gummed up and ruined a sprayer or two for me.

Nice! Cool video - bear hunting in Idaho is no joke! I laughed at your description of the false hillsides, endless climbs up mountains, vastness of the terrain. It's wild out there!

We've still got quite a few birds out west but not nearly like it used to be. It's funny how some days you drive around and see none. Then get a drizzly day and birds will be all over. We used to trap hard on our farm but that slowed down about 5 years ago. Picking it back up again now...

This is very accurate - I see deer around here move a mile or two in the winter leaving 1000s of acres void of a single deer but go to their wintering grounds and you'll find it looking like this. Come first sign of spring all deer move back to their normal areas and things don't appear "so...

Looks great! Skip - when I've used short stakes like that on tree tubes, about the time the red oaks got 1-2' out of the tree they were still flimsy enough that in the next high wind they'd buckle the tube over and be dead if I didn't prop them back up. Only way I found it worked for me was to...

Love it, congrats to you both!!!

Just realized I can share pictures on here again - been a few years since I've shared a harvest story. So this is a fun one to knock the dust off of! I can get long winded - so you've been warned! Our oldest son turned 4 at the end of March. We've taken him hunting with us since he was 1...
