Bout a week ago, 2 bucks came through the back yard. One had about 3" and the other about 1.5". Can't say I've ever seen that this early? Not 100% but I think the buck with the 3" growth shed in early January as my buddy found 1 side then. Quite sure this is him. Anyone else ever seen growth...

Has anyone done that? Thinking of planting fast growing radishes in early May, terminating them mid July and reseeding late July. Pros/ cons to this?

Reflecting on some huge bucks taken, I'm starting to realize that all this time/ money we spend trying to grow " big" deer ain't what it's ..... For years, I've planted food plots, put out mineral sites. Always with the assumption that it'll help bucks get bigger. Begginging to think it a bunch...

Winter of 23/24 I spent a good amount of time doing a bedding cut. Picked away for about 2 months. Was very methodical on how it was gonna be laid out. Area size was about 2 acres total. Trees present were ( lots ) of boxelder, some smaller elm, bigger basswood, smaller hackberry, Big Ash and a...

A few pics. Overall, from late sept, late Nov, I'm guessing roughly 30 bucks hit it.

I stopped and took this pic from a bridge right by my place. Should I put up an ice fishing shack and fish n hunt at the same time? Lol.

" My Little Democrat ". She comes to the bird/ squirrel feeder multiple times a day. She's a little free loader. Comes in, chases off the squirrels after theve done all the work knocking the seeds to the ground. She then walks about 60 yards and beds by a brush pile while watching the squirrels...

Rare thing here. Feb 10th 2023, deer were already dieing here from deep snow/ starvation. 3 doe fawns have been feeding under the bird feeder for the past 1/2 hour. Nice sleek fur and nice n plump. (they start getting that fuzzy/ puffed up look when starving) Fun watching them pound the...

Let's see your sheds fellas. Went for a coyote walk today. Dang near drove over the 5pt side in a stubble field. Judging 1/2 (at least) the bucks are shed.

This morning, I cut down 4 small boxelder trees that were growing from a stump from a big tree I cut years ago. They were all leaning in one direction so I dropped them in a pile. Bout 1/2 hour ago, I looked out and there were 6 deer devouring the limb tips. Incredible how fast they zoned in...

AMEN!

When hunting at my cabin, I always have a smudge fire going in the burn barrel. Start it about October 20th and keep it going for 3/4 weeks. The wood that I like the best to burn is boxelder,cottonwood,and elm. The punkier, the better for smoke. Also collect bags of leaves from boulevards and...

Bout 7 years ago, a terrible cold front/ blizzard set in. This fawn layed down in front of my cam and over the course of several hours basically got covered with snow. It finally stood up to shake off the snow. Purdy neat capture.

Bagged leaves from last fall. During fall hunting time, I always have a smudge fire burning in that barrel. I love my woods smelling like smoke. Last Oct, I drove through town and picked up about 12 big bags of leaves off people's boulevard to burn. Had one left as of last week. The deer broke...

Very windy but warm (32*). I love hunting super thick cover when windy. Dove into a buckthorn thicket and didn't take long. Goal was to shoot the first antlerless that came. by. Yearling doe. Good eater. 12 yards shot, high double lung, 40 yard run.

Went to bed last night and backyard was a pristine blanket of 6" of fresh snow. Woke up to pee sometime in the middle of the night, looked out and counted 19 deer within 25 yards. Amazing how cold n snow will get them to come and try and find a couple sunflowers seeds the birds dropped from the...

What are you guys seeing? This past week in Nw Mn has been the best I've ever seen in December. Yesterday starting at about 3 30 p.m., my woods were on fire with activity. Had 2 doe fawns getting so harassed by bucks it was nuts. 6/7 bucks in the back and 3/4 out front down by the river. Lots...
