They're one oak that doesn't require any assistance to flourish. A delicacy for turkeys in winter. Even in high deer density areas. I'll be culling out several of them this winter doing some TSI.

That is one impressive lineup of bucks

IA has such a finite amount of the resources to being with. If they ever let supply and demand play out on its own..... There would be VERY few places for residents to find a place to hunt even worse than it is now.

They'll pile in to eat the buds off trees such as elm/hickory that are cut down. That's one reason why I wait to do TSI during the worst part of winter.

I'd go with a classical conditioning system for deer. If you put that scent on some charged fencing using aluminum foil, I bet it would condition them to avoid that scent for the most part. I got tired of them running through my e-fence, so I put peanut butter in foil at intervals on the...

Nothing wrong with getting lucky while stacking up points.

I've talked to people that hunt WY elk from out of state. Their recommendation to me has been to save points up to ~9 to get a better unit and better hunt. They've told me 4-5 points isn't enough to see a difference. I'm sitting on 7 points right now...almost there.

The deer on my place are in luck then. I've seen them eat locust pods, but wouldn't call them anything close to a primo food source in the midwest. Down south they're "sweeter" and more desired. I have a hard time finding any acorns still laying around, but locust pods..... If that's all...

20 acre lake sounds great. Dad does that work for a living...maybe I can talk him into a write-off?

The Lost Apple Project has their scions on sale now. These are varieties that were thought to have been lost to time and re-discovered out west for the most part...

I'd keep the same model saw with your next purchase. Also, keep an extra bar and chain available for pinching if you don't end up getting a new saw.

Welcome!! A swap hunt sounds fair for PA bears and IA whitetails.

Something else that helps me is not going to the woods on an empty stomach. A fatty meal keeps the furnace stoked for better circulation, at least for me.

Hasn’t there been something along these lines happen in areas with albinos that they’re not legal to kill? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Those are the facts. Had a neighbor several years ago that raised russian boars and some got out one fall. They tore the $hit out of the creek bottom on my place that fall. After several were popped during rifle the rest decided it was best to get back in the pen up the road.

This buck would have been smoked without neighbors passing him during rifle. He was passed at least 5 times that I know of on multiple farms, including mine. The 3 year olds typically cover so much ground that those with the best head gear aren't making it since people shoot for antler size...

I can’t find the post on here, but someone posted a Wayne county buck a few years back that was identical to this buck shot in Mercer county on the farm next to me. They both looked identical with the double tines on the left side. The Wayne County buck was still on the hoof in the pic someone...

To Skip’s point, check out these two bucks shot on my farm 19 years apart…. Have a drop in the exact same spot and the last tine on the right beam of each is the same. The genetics definitely keep cycling back around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I also think it’s harder to tell +-1 year apart without history. Is he 3 or 4? 2 or 3? It’s not nearly as hard to say: Is he 3 or 5? 2 or 4? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
