Human pressure is a weird thing. In some cases it is a big problem and in others it doesnt seem to matter much, I think it is what the deer become used to. For example, my uncle used to live on about 20 acres in Marshall county along the river. It was a rural area where there was about 8-10...

After 10 years with them I finally got tired of hearing FB's name attached to every crappy piece of deer legislation that came along. I dumped them and told my agent why. Ended up saving some $$ too. Not sure my current co (AllState) is any better, but at least they dont brag about using my...

They arent my reps but I emailed them anyway. Thanks for providing thier email addys, makes it easy for lazy folks like me!

You are correct about night vision, NV and thermal imagers are two completely different things.

4 does and 1 buck. Might dust off the .44 and try for #5 this weekend.

I have the 8.5 power EL's and I love them. I bought them 2nd hand so I had no choice in power, but I've never felt handicapped with them. More than enough power when in the stand anyway. As for spotters, if you arent backpacking it I'd buy the biggest objective they have. Bigger is better in...

I'm calling schenanigans. They all look to clean and healthy and the ground there should be torn up like a hog lot, I dont see hardly a track. I think some lucky hunters are having a little fun with this one.

Those are great pics, congrats to both of you!

For starters, I believe harvest reporting is a problem. Personally I love the system, but outside of the die hards all I hear is bitching about the harvest reporting system. I believe MAYBE 70% of the harvest actually gets reported. I know I hear plenty of guys talk about not reporting because...

I've had really good luck with rechargeable AA's using Energizer 2500's and Powerex 2700's in a Powerex 4 bay charger (1 hr charger with discharge ability). These batts arent that old, Feb '07, but they have had a alot of use in the last 7 months. I set 3 cams up on Nov 27th (all Sony S600's)...

In mild winters the deer around me seem to prefer the corn stubble to standing corn. But with the ice and snow we have had this year its no contest, standing corn won hands down.

You werent alone Ruddly, I know a bunch of people who bought generators during the last storm and they were all scrambling again to get them "McGivered", lol. For once, I was on the ball and wired mine up properly this summer. Fired up the generator, flipped a couple breakers, and I was back in...

The deer at my place will browse red and white pines right beside my plot of standing corn, beans, rye, and turnips. They will even walk into the yard and browse white pines that are within 10' of my shop building. Apparently pines are a preferred winter browse even in years without snow...
