Just an observation, but has anyone else noticed how the general trend in camo patterns seems be be going back to simpler designs? I think the first real camo designed specifically for hunters was Jim Crumley's Trebark which was a pretty basic pattern of lines and shades. Then it seemed like...

We are welcoming new members to the IowaWhitetail.com family on a daily basis and one of the first things a new member often wonders is "How do I get pictures into my posts on the forum?" For those who have been around the site and learned how to do it, picture posting is "old hat." But for a...

Can anyone recommend a top notch rabbit distress call that will attract coyotes? I bought a Sceery Cottontail Distress call awhile back, and I may not be blowing it correctly, but to me it sounds awful (and not "awful" in a way that coyotes would find appealing )

Got kinda bored being home sick from work today, so I dove in to the dusty corners of the site checking out some "old" posts. I have a feeling that a lot of people don't realize everything that is on the back pages of these forums. Here are just a few of blasts from the past: Do you remember...

[Press Release from Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. 1/5/2007] "LINCOLN, Neb. – The number of Nebraska deer testing positive for chronic wasting disease fell for the second year in a row, although there is evidence the disease has expanded. Seventeen deer tested positive, out of a...

2" pin guard or the 2 3/8 pin guard"? Not much difference? Personal preference?

Some of you may have received these photos on an email. They've been making the rounds in cyberspace. The message had the following text associated with it: "I took these photos coming home the other day. This is right off County Hwy O in Portage County, just north of Junction City...

Sign at the new Cabela's store in LaVista, Nebraska. Look closely... ...a replacement sign has been installed.

Saw this on MSNBC's "Pictures of the Week" Now there's a matched set that shouldn't be laying too far apart!

A few years ago, I set out on the seemingly impossible task to put together a set of Nebraska resident hunt/fish combination permits from their inception in 1901 to the present day. Working on this over the past five years has been a blast, and I've met a number of great folks in the process of...

Had somebody ask about the "Virka Buck" which is the record typical whitetail for the state of Nebraska. The following little blurb appeared in yesterday's Lincoln Journal-Star newspaper and thought I'd share it. This buck was taken in 1983 and scores 199 2/8" as a clean typical. Typicals...

Since I know some of you married guys are going to get roped into stringing up Christmas lights this weekend (while I'm out bowhunting ) I figured it was time to dust off this decorating idea. Steal that "stick reindeer" that your neighbors have in their yard and put it to good use with some...

It's our buddy Huskerbuck (or as Shovel calls him, Buckhusker!) Congratulations another trip around the sun, Tim. I know it's been a great year for you!

Got a question for all of those have had some experience using snow camoflague. Do you wear it when there's snow on the ground but you are hunting from a treestand? It seems that from a deer's point of view on the ground looking up, you'd want to blend in with the brown tree and not look like...

Seeing another post commenting about warm headgear for hunting on these colder days of fall got me thinking about what I usually wear. A few years ago, a duck-hunting buddy of mine showed me one of these Filson Model 307 hats. It is waxed heavy cotton duck material on the outside and Merino...

Has anyone beside be been seeing (and/or hearing) more coyotes this year than usual? A bad mange epidemic has definitely had an effect on the populations around here over the past few years, but I've seen more coyotes this year while hunting deer than ever before. Have had at least one under...

Can anyone describe how to use the "snort wheeze" on a Primos Buck Roar? Just got one and it came with an instructional mini-DVD. The problem is that the only DVD player I have is on my laptop and my folks took that to Baltimore for a few weeks while my Mom is having cancer surgery...

I've been looking for a Bear Super Kodiak recurve for awhile now and saw a listing on eBay today that just made me laugh and say "What were they thinking?" This one was definitely strung up by an X-pert!

Is there a more-durable broadhead target than "The Block" I've shot broadheads into my Block about half a dozen times, it's pretty tore up. Kind of a shame since they cost so much. Once upon a time I had heard that the Morrell Eternity Target (bag type) was a good one from a durability...

There are at least two that I know of today: Bwhntr4life (Steve Conner) and Rut-Nut (Leonard Grimes) Happy Birthday, fellas!!! I enjoyed meeting you both this weekend!!
