Sask, Hell Man, MY BACKYARD can be scary at night!! No doubt where you were at, common sense ruled. Even with the GPS, I'd recommend carrying a compass back-up. They can and obviously, DO fail sometimes! A hunting buddy had to take a much more SCENIC route back to the trailhead in Colorado...

Sask, It's a whole different world up there tracking in the wilderness as opposed to the "back 40". No doubt you gave it your best, but common sense must prevail when you're out there in bad conditions and not prepared to spend the night. I say you did the right thing backing off and getting...

Man, I feel your pain! Out this way, Farms I have hunted on for years are becoming housing developments faster than I can stomach. I actually have changed my route to work as it almost kills me to see what has happened to some of the best habitat in the entire county become a cul de sac for a...

Oh Yeah, and be REAL CAREFUL about assuming that "Bent Over" position during the Rut!!

Kat, They will definetly SEE you...their eyes are designed primarily for low-light vision and are actually BETTER at night than during the day. I'd suggest either going in REAL early to give any deer that do spook time to settle down before shooting light, or better yet if the situation allows...

Thanks for that report Kat... Hmmm, OUT of the corn, huh? Am I makin' a believer outta Ya yet? Good luck w/ the BIG boys!! >>--Ron--<>

I prefer silks or polypro for early & mid-season, and Cabela's MTP for really cold sits when I'm not using my Heater Body suit. >>--Ron--<>

Danno, Thanks. Yes, both big bucks we kicked up while bird hunting came busting out of standing corn. We were hunting in and around partially harvested fields, sending the dogs into the corn as we walked the outside edges and blocked the ends of the rows. Believe me, if you think a big ol'...

**Lone Wolf's climbing sticks have a 350# weight rating.

Shooting 60-70# recurves instinctively....I don't have a clue as to what you mean by that question! (Look & Launch!) >>--Ron--<>

Check out my article "When the Food becomes the Cover" in the articles section. The deer DO come out of the corn, but I've found the reason most of us don't seem to see them when hunting the edges is because we're setting up in the wrong way....hunting the corn as if it is the feeding area not...

Re: Lone Wolf Best wishes for a full recovery! Anything that happens by accident usually could have been prevented. Safety FIRST.... >>--Ron--<>

Almost 27 years now working with the Developmentally Disabled covering a broad spectrum of functions and needs... including the Mentally, Physically & Socially Challenged as well as Forensics(Psychological & Criminal/Violent Behavioral Problems). Needless to say the time I spend with my...

It really depends on what you're using it for. For whitetails, you don't need a lot of weight capacity. I've been happy with my Alum-i-Lite cart. Very light weight and portable, folds up and stores easily. Capacity- 250#...plenty. For Elk or that type of larger loads in rougher terrain, I'd...

Sweeeeeeet!! Looks like Illinois Boy is da Illinois MAN right now!! Great buck, congrats and thanks for posting it.... >>--Ron--<>

Wow! Now that's some good shootin'!! Congrats to you both. Welcome to the "addiction", Alicia! Here's to the first of many... >>--Ron--<>

I'm guessing in the animal kingdom it's how ready & receptive a female is as opposed to how "young and attractive' she is. No discrimination involved! Unlike we "superior beings", they look at breeding as the continuation of the species, not just notches on their antlers!!

Both. Mostly trees while bowhunting, 50/50 when carrying the ol' smokepole. I'm not real crazy about heights...but do what I must to get it done! That being said, my 3 largest bucks (2 gun and 1 bow) ALL were taken from the ground...so WHY do I scare the hell outta myself in trees?? (Why...

The only limits are the ones we set for ourselves....You are the Man, and your story just made my whole day! Welcome back and I wish you many more successes! >>--Ron--<>

Cost of a pack full of food & drinks...a few dollars- Cost of a Double Bull blind...significantly more dollars- Time spent w/ your son and the memories made by harvesting that great buck "together".....PRICELESS!!! Way to go, Mole. If more kids had fathers like you...more kids would...
