Did you find any beds while tracking? Because if the video is 45 minutes later and you kicked him up say 30-40 minutes after the shot, he definitely could be fatally hit and walking out to look for a quiet place to lay down...where's he headed in this video??? Do not let the body language fool...

My prediction is you are going to see does reassembled and with a little luck a bruiser starting to cruise doe groups again. Nov 23 till shogun is my magic time.

140 8 is a hoss of a deer, can't wait to see it!

Started getting cranked up yesterday for me in Central Iowa. Small bucks cruising most of the day. Today was a repeat only some older deer in the mix now...11-2 time of day was best. Saw two shooters 150+. Does still have fawns for the most part, one or two orphans running around, but I...

poop...feel like I'm hunting back in 1982.

radar app for phone is myradar for weather data I use NWS, des moines office for Iowa

12 hour minimum on gut shots.....14 is smart.

Occasional doe may be in here and there....hence the big blowups on certain farms. Good enough reason to get out now. A few more showing up on I-80, not serious yet. My areas have stayed pretty predictable. Small guys on there feet, does still grouped up and not being harassed to badly. I...

I suppose that could be interpreted as a Rail Splitter.

I'll start hunting hard this week. Start sitting all day Nov 4 through the 15, then lay low and rest up with the occasional hunt. Hit it hard again a couple days before Thanksgiving, and especially my favorite time....From Thanksgiving to the end.

Good Job! I knew a kid who had the attitude he wasn't going to shoot unless it was a monster. He went four years without a shot...then when the moment of truth happened he wasn't prepared due to lack of kills and mentally folded on a chip shot = missed. You are right....you have the rest of...

My only experience is 30 years, not sure if that qualifies. Most of that time has been spent in thicker areas where it isn't feasible to gauge deer's reaction (you can't see). But, for a 5 year period about a decade ago I hunted an extremely wide open farm and I remember being surprised at how...

Slow morning...had a doe/fawn bedded down at first light 200 yards away, they stood up, browsed for 30 seconds, re-positioned for the wind, and laid back down at 9:00. One forkie out moving along very slowly.

my seedlings in the clean areas look like native warm season beef jerky! Interesting year, marked the worst ones (yellow, semi-soft, and laying down) and am going to track if they recover once rain begins again. In areas of shade....either from weeds or trees it appears the ground has...

dbltree, what's your take on nwsg viability if it fails to germinate the establishment year? Do you know if seeds that fail to germinate will dessicate and die or will they go dormant and germinate when conditions are favorable in the next year or three?

I frost seeded a very diverse mixture of 93 species this past winter in February right before one of those Mickey mouse snows we got. I can identify my black eyed susans because some are blooming already and are 14 inches tall! (could these be remnant or do they really grow that quickly??)...

I experimented two weeks ago....I used a core aerator to punch a bunch of 1/4-1/2" deep holes in scalped dead sod 3 weeks ago. I broadcasted some warm season grasses and a few forbes over the area and then dragged the core material and seed into the holes. Then drove over it to pack...

If the wind is blowing good enough to get occasional movement on my blind windows or flaps I opt to tuck to the timber. If its calm I'll consider higher ground in wide open. Have had birds get a little nervous around blind and have had birds brush up against it. Most birds will look at it...

Good timing turkeyriver! With the ground being frozen today and no worries of compaction, I borrowed a friends small dethatching implement and drug the dickens out of the site with my riding mower. I followed that up with the backpack blower. Sight resembles more of a bean stubble field with...
