This year I have been really buried at work and have only gotten out a few times. I had mostly been trying to arrow one, and had only some feathers to show for it. So, I bit the bullet and bought a gun tag. Called this guy in right off the roost.

Interesting read on the current science of camo: Tapping into what a deer sees, and doesn't

If you ever had indecision about whether to go out or not on a windy day like today...I'd suggest you go ahead (at least if it's November 14)

I just needed to say it. I feel better now. Thank you.

OK Bowgeeks, Please help me figure the KE of this setup. I find the calculators, but I don't know how to determine the arrow velocity. Here's the setup. 29 inch Carbon Express CX400 tipped with 100 g Montec G5. 400 grains total arrow weight. Shooting out of a 2005 Hoyt Ultramag 28 inch draw...

Cyclone_hunter checked the cam on sunday and this guy was on there. We can't agree. Is he 2 1/2 or 3 1/2?

Lots of fear and misinformation. I think they should have avoided a couple of small, open, highly used parks that are practically unhuntable anyway: Ames Trib Article

If I read the Regs right I can't get these licenses during bow season, only firearm seasons. Is this right? If so, what could be possibly be the justification?

My kids bought me a trail cam for my birthday. Of course I hung it the next day. How long were you all able to hold out before you checked yours the very first time? I am going to try to leave it out there a week. Aaargh.

I need help. After much research (apparently not enough). I bought a new sight this winter. I bought the cobra sidewinder 3-pin with .029 pins and added 2 .019 pins. Well, I have broken fiber in both the .019 pins. I'm about to come to the conclusion that they are too fragile and/or exposed...

Who's had success with a decoy? Tell us your favorite setup. Doe, buck, buck tending doe? Tell us your experiences.

YOU MIGHT BE A FARMER (or rancher) IF... Your dog rides in your truck more than your wife. You convince your wife that an overnight, out-of-state trip for equipment parts is a vacation. You have ever had to wash off in the backyard with a garden hose before your wife would let you in the...

I have never hunted fall turkey but have a tag in my pocket in case one came by the bow stand. I have a question on tactics. I notice that they are grouped up now, but I also noticed a single hen yelping when I was deer hunting the other night. Sounded like she was lost. Here's the...

Anybody have plans or ideas for a permanant wooden elevated deer blind? My son and I plan to build one for my Dad this summer. He's 75 and deserves to be able to hunt in some comfort. He hunts mainly the Illinois gun season, although he has been crossbow hunting some during archery.

Sunk into a marsh up to my thighs yesterday. I was about 3/4 of a mile away from the truck. However with my polypropolene sock liners, thick wool socks and Lacrosse burlies with 800 g thinsulate, my feet didn't get cold. They didn't even feel wet although I could wring water out of the socks...

I need to talk to a couple of guys that bowhunt the Skunk River area. I have names, but I can't find your number. PM me please. This is a friendly question. Thanks

Anyone tried it out? Is the platform big enough to be comfortable 25 feet up? I've hunted from a Baby gorilla with a small platform and it made me nervous. I like the idea of less weight to pack in, but not at the expense of feeling secure up there.

Would someone please explain the changes in the Landowner tag regs for this year? I'm not sure I see what changed. Thanks

Why do we emphasize the harvest of mature does? The oldest, longest nosed doe seems to be the best. It's talked about on the videos and TV shows. Iowa Whitetail has a contest. However, when I take a beef to the locker, I don't pick out the oldest granny cow in the herd. I pick out an 18...
