169........beautiful buck!

You will know almost as soon as you cut it down whether or not it has metal in it; if there is metal, you will see a bright blue spot on the face of the cut. The source may only be one nail but the stain will travel many feet in either direction. this is true for any oaks and walnuts. The...

I'll go with 163.....nice color.

Nice history.....especially like the splits in the ears; he'll make a great trophy!

I would say that is a badger.....standing on tiptoes!

Aw come on Medicine Man; I know you would pay me $30-$40 an acre for my little piece of hunting paradise!

"OUCH" said the PSU forester; class of 79'

We had one just like that many years ago; my neighbor shot it as a 6 month old; she ran past me with the leg flopping and I couldn't get a shot. We thought she would die but she showed up 2 months later looking as if the leg had been surgically removed. We made her off limits and for the next 7...

I read it the same way......what is the difference if I shoot the deer 1/2 mile from the house, tag it, load it, drive thru the fields and process it on the deck or shoot it, tag it, process it, hand carry it to the house and put it in the freezer. (which is what I do if it is real sloppy out or...

158....nice mass!

Sorry, my mistake; Just checked on the Conservationist and it was a wind storm in the early 1900's. Same result.

Good question Cooter! Seems that there was a heavy snow storm many years ago that knocked down the pheasant pens on a game farm which allowed them to escape; The rest is history. I guess the habitat was much better back then. :D My theory is that since there were farms on almost every 80...

Nice post....all good info and a lot of wisdom from the younger generation!

On the contrary, Crockett, I think you asked a very good question. Really, who do we want as our neighbor? The farmer on my southeast corner allows one person to hunt (trophy hunter) so he's okay. The property bordering my south line is owned by a single guy from St. Louis who can only hunt...

Thanks Jay, you always do nice work!

Great little gun...my son got his at age 13 still likes it at 17. The scope does stay true even after many switches but we still check it before hunting. It seems to shoot the Hornady sst the best. For a scope, he has a Bushnell Banner 1-4 var. It will outshoot my 12 guage A-Bolt consistently or...

Thanks 6x6 and ck, really enjoyed post, can't say enough good things about the .17 (mine's a Ruger). A buddy and I were sitting on the porch and saw a yote in the distance. I grabbed my .17 and he said what are you going to do with that little gun? I said, I've got to try. Took the shot and...

Sorry Bowtech, the devil is in the details; My neighbor owns 2k acres but only farms about 20-25% of that. However, the lease $ has averaged a little over 20k the last 3 years..... that is a little better than a couple of thousand $ per year.

Now you know one; let's call him Jim....He's my neighbor and farms about 2k acres.We were talking a couple of weeks ago and he mentioned that he didn't really care for leasing but now that he has been doing it for several years he has come to count on that money at the end of the year and if he...

Definitely a house kitty; Looks just like mine except mine is 18 lbs. and spends most of his time hiding from foxes and yotes.
