GW....couldn't comment on the genetic correlation but as far as environment there is no doubt in my mind that heat,cold,humidity,etc. play an important part with a deers sense of smell. Shredder....I would agree that some deer would react differently to our scent due to previous run ins with...

Never thought about that Shredder. I guess there wouldn't be nothin' better than to smell like a big ol' corn cob while on stand!

Great question for debate. And it has been debated widely. I reactivate mine in my dryer. When I return to my vehicle I immediately place mine in a plastic bag. Every time I remove it from the bag I notice what I call a nuetral smell to it. You know that "woodsy" smell your clothes get from the...

I like the True Talker also. Had mine for about 4 years now. We don't get too many freezing days here in FL but haven't had any prob's with it in IA or WV. It does have that good clicking/clacking sound to it and great for doe bleats in a pinch (the "Can" is my first choice for those though)...

Ghost Walker, Down here I hunt deer and hog. We are lucky to have long seasons but cursed with bugs, heat and the lack of season changes. I tell all the guys down here they need to at least hunt the midwest once. I just enjoy this site pop in now and then to get the "skinny". Looks like from...

I've been hunting deer since I was 7. I don't claim to be a great "taker of trophies" but I'd be willing to bet my right arm I love the sport as much as if not more than anyone else here (I'm sure you can relate). You guys truly have a hunting paradise. I'm trying patiently to wait for Nov. I...

Keep talkin' boys. I'll have to wait till the week of my hunt to check out the activity but all that talk about the cooler weather is getting my feather fletching ruffled! Last two trips up the weather didn't cooperate and it's still hot as H*@& down here!!!

Hope they're still there come time to harvest. Seems like they always have a knack for teasing you like that!

Get one! (uh...make that 2 incase the first one gets lost or ruined)

Thanks....been waiting for this one. Had to sit it out last year. I always enjoy my trip up. The weather, the people and WOW! the deer. If I knew then what I know now I'd probably be a big Hawkeye fan instead of a GATOR fan. The all around experience up there is always top notch!

Having a point doesn't guarantee you a drawn license (especially for archery). Although it should guarantee you to get one before someone without a point applying for the SAME season. It seems that applying for the gun hunt w/out a point though does offer a better opportunity to get picked that...

June 28 according to the website and the clerk at the licensing center

I've always used the 15th as a point of reference and hunted the week leading up to that day. Two seasons ago it seemed like we were late. The 15th was on a Thurs. and that Sat. evening prior when we we arrived if there was a doe in a field there was a buck with her. Things just tapered downward...

Going to try again with 1 point under my belt. If given a choice what would you recommend as a good date? I have to choose a week between Nov. 2 thru Nov. 22 for zone 4

Get Oct. issue of Deer & Deer Hunting if following the moon interests you. They're predicting a trickle rut up there. Seeking phase minor-10/19 thru 10/24 major-11/16 thru 11/23 Chase phase minor-10/25 thru 10/31 major-11/24 thru 11/29 Breeding minor-11/01 thru...

Nice buck....I too hunt in Madison county (when I get drawn) and have seen a few like that. No luck yet though.

I figured it was still worth it. Considering we have a free place to stay it only costs me lic., gas & food. I'd love to be able to go every year but I realize they need to try to keep everything in check to keep the hunting good.

I like to be a full draw and on target then mouth grunt to try and stop the deer in an optimum position (i.e. with his nearest leg on a forward step to offer me more clearance of the heart area). Sometimes it works for you and sometimes it works terribly against you. Usually if their moving...

28 yrs. and still going strong!

I use the alum. biscuit for A/C/C's and have been shooting better than ever. You need to try one out b4 buying it and decide for yourself. I don't regret buying one but there are others out there that did/do.
