deerstroyer, Are you talking about old steel fence posts? Old Buck

I had another good night tonight. Three does and a big old gobbler via three arrows. Don't know if I'll get a good photo because they will be pretty stiff by tomorrow morning! I haven't seen a good buck since October so I'm working on the local overpopulation of does. Yes. I did pull the...

Kat, The main reason I'm harvesting so many does is because I want to have your 'problem'! Hope to see you again at the deer classic! Old Buck

Pupster, Yep, I thought the same thing. Then onecam showed an 'old buck' some new tricks. Correct me if I'm wrong, onecam. This is my version of his technique. First get a knife with a gut hook. I got a folding version at Walmart for about $30. I also carry a supply of latex gloves. If...

Congrat's on a great buck! Way to hang in there! Old Buck

FarmlandQDM, I'm not sure I would help much. The next two times out I scored a big goose egg! Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. The fun part is just being out there with bow in hand enjoying all that nature has to offer. I'm going to try some hunting in a storm the next few...

I'm 58 and also still learning about whitetail every day. That makes me older than blake and better looking than muddy. (Just kidding muddy!) One of my goals in life is to still be bowhunting 30 years from now! Old Buck

pharmer, Good observation! See my comments to SEMN. Good hunting! Old Buck

SEMN, Actually I finally figured out that I can carry 9 arrows on my 5 arrow quiver by putting the extras in between the regular slots. I started with 8 arrows that day. Thanks to a field dressing demo by onecam and several other tricks I've picked up I've become rather efficient at doe...

Threebeards, It is hard to tell from the photo but one is a 1 1/2 and three were 2 1/2 or older. I got them from a ground blind and was able to drive right up to them so dragging was limited. The shots were fairly close together because the deer never figured out I was there. I'm big on low...

I always try to be optomistic when I go bowhunting but in reality it is a rare day that I take a shot at a buck. On the other hand when things are right for me to shoot does I'm really fired up because I know my chances of getting a shot are good. I'm in an area with an over abundance of does...

Way to go IBA!

Who do we send pictures to?

Thanks guys. Ironwood, Great idea! Now if I can just find the time.

With all the time I spend outdoors I figured it would happen sooner or later. I finally shot my first bobcat! I was trying to harvest some more does but they were staying back in the woods snorting on and on. I had good scent control and the wind wasn't blowing that way anyway so I couldn't...

I seeded rape with turnips. The rape was eaten early. The turnips are getting a lot of attention now. Next year I may go straight turnips.

deernut, I know exactly what you are saying. I've seen the same thing and had the same reaction. My boss even told me the same thing. Some people either don't have a clue about the negative hunter image they are creating or they just don't care. The fact is that 80% of the population does...

Thanks for the info. It is wise to keep informed about the anti's. They'd love nothing more than to put us out of business.

First the Cyclones, then the Hawkeyes. Great time to be from Iowa!
