Well, I finally decided to take some time and share a very special hunt. With multiple family members helping out in different ways, I was able to take my best buck to date this past fall. The story started in late July when I began getting trailcam pics of a really nice 9-point my daughters...

I'm guessing he is a 3 1/2. I have his right side shed from last year and he put on a lot of beam length, but still has the stubby times. I'll let the air out of him! :grin:

Hope everyone's season is going as planned. I've come close to a few nice bucks here in West Virginia, but for one reason or another (pinned down with does and fawns, ran out of daylight, etc.), have not been able to close the deal. :( Say, the next three days here, they are calling for highs...

If I am correct, Iowa's opener is this coming Saturday. The archery season here in West Virginia does not open until October 16, but I get a crack at them two weeks early as I am participating in an "urban" archery hunt at a local, rural housing development. Here's to a prosperous and safe...

Got these pics last week with my new Bushnell Trophy Cam. Still tinkering with the settings, but I am very pleased with the camera so far. The nice 8-point is definitely on the hit list this fall.

Well, it all started with a call from dad on Tuesday, he said a great 10-point was trailing a doe in the corner of his field just before dark. Since I have a stand on the ridge below that corner of the field, I chose to hunt it Thursday afternoon. It was cloudy and 55 with a gentle drizzle...

<span style='font-family: Verdana'>As a follow-up to gibbo80's post a couple weeks back about mock scrapes, I had a few questions myself. I have a couple of good stand locations I want to try to make better, and am going to experiment with mock scrapes this fall, specifically creating a scrape...

Thinking about buying one of these stands, aluminum model, for next year. Really like the idea of being able to purchase multiple brackets, which will allow me to have multiple sets for the same stand. Anyone have one and have any comments?

Well, yesterday was the end of a very "off" hunting season for me here in West Virginia. Between the rain and warmer temps while I was on vacation in mid-November, I never got into the groove as far as patterning the deer on the two farms I hunt. I did take a basket 9-point that had some cool...

I'm rather new at the whole trail cam business, and have had some good luck with my Stealth cam, which utilizes a film camera. Those of you that use film trail cams, or used to, what speed film do you normally use? In winter and the colder weather, do you use a different speed? Thanks for your...

Found these pics I had misplaced. My cousin took them on our farm this past summer, in June. Sure he grew a good bit after the pictures was taken. He will certainly get the air let out of him should he stroll past one of my stands.

Long-time viewer of this board, but seldom post. I enjoy reading all of the excellent hunting insight the regulars of this board provide. Last Saturday, I scored on my biggest buck with a bow. A little smaller then most of the bucks posted on here, but I'm gonna keep him Here's the story. I...

Since they are no longer manufacturing these steps, I was browsing the web trying to locate some and found a page referring to a company in Albia called Tree Hopper that makes these bolts. I called but got an out of service message. Anyone know anything about this company? Still in business...
