Lots of them, big ol double beard here is my favorite

Slight miss What a find!!

I am up to 3, all fresh. First buck shed Dec 27 but he was hurt. The other ones shed in the last week, still blood on the pedicles Buck that was wounded that I found left side so far.

I would be down for a yearly stamp to hunt public land, even if it was an extra 10-15 bucks and it all went back to those public lands it could make a big difference

Oh yeah it was noting to see 8-10 different state tags hunting while out there in 2018-2021. But the hens were all dead too. They definitely had to have a disease issue as even the adult hens just poof vanished. The first 3-4 years we obtained permission farms - the farms had 200-300 turkeys...

I have chased them in KS, SD, NE, IL, MO, KY and TN All had plenty of birds, except the last time we went to KS. Hunted there for 15 straight years and in 2021 it was miserable. I am talking 90% reduction of population. We use to go and tag out with 8 birds in 1.5 days. Last time we went I...

Question for everyone and I am in the boat of 1 time dump at say 7:00 at night, after hunting light but far away from sunrise. What about normal cams - I often times pull a card and check it in the tree or before I hunt. Generally to kill time, or see if deer have been using an area...

Yep, this is a big problem when trying to push deer into the mature status. No tag sharing, 1 buck and appropriate doe management has to be on the landscape to get back to where it was

Some great 8s for sure. That first one is a bruiser!!!!!

Thanks for sharing guys, lots of great deer and memories in there!!!!

IN has at least one and most counties 2 officers (214 total COs) IL has 173 ( with 1 per county and sometimes more depending on the county)

Humm seems like a real bad idea. Gotta be pretty hard core to bow hunt coyotes in the dark!

If guys want to share the pics I would certainly make the posters again, I think they ran about $20 back then. Based on what is shared I am guessing not to many would sign up

Yeah we had them a few years. Limb did them at first and I made the last one I believe. I still have all of mine hanging in the garage! Man we use to have so many harvest posted on here, certainly miss it!!!

Hard to argue skips point with the 1 buck rule and surrounding states. IN/OH/MI is perfect example. Again not the only reason we are better. But in an era of rifles and crossbow abound, IN and OH have only gotten better since the 1 buck rule

1 time every 24hrs. You can pull your cards that often if you want so I like it

I agree 100% - I was thinking the thread was structured around Giant Deer and how to get more mature whitetails into the herd. I do agree good points on both sides you mentioned for herd health

I think if you asked every hunter in the state of Indiana if hunting overall and herd quality overall has improved since 2003 it would be darn near 100% yes. During that time the DNR has done a great job implementing allotted tags for does (which has really been over last 10 years) and...

I agree you gotta have the habitat and it has been destroyed in masses nation wide. But where there is habitat I think populations are in bad shape in Iowa from what I have heard from good friends. If the herd is decimated something has to be done to bring it back. I would be fighting for...

Boom, stud for sure!!!
