    400 legend

    Not sure if this has been posted or not, but Winchester released the 400 legend this year. Looks like all the normal companies will produce rifles for it by next year. Looks like a good intermediate between 350 legend and 450 bushmaster. https://www.outdoorlife.com/guns/winchester-400-legend/...

    October 25th buck.

    Story starts last year when we started getting pics of a nice 10 point. He had great tine length, but short brows and a narrow frame. We decided to pass him even though we assumed he was 4.5. He disappeared mid season and we assumed he was killed. Fast forward to this year and I started...

    Crossbow lobby loves this guy

    Saw this come across my feed and thought it was a joke. It wasn't. Lol. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

    Compound bow carbon limb life?

    How long can you expect carbon limbs to last before they need replaced? I only ask because I shoot a 2011 z7 magnum bow and I don't plan on trading anytime soon. My limbs are fine right now, no splintering or cracking, but I'm curious how long a guy can go before he's rolling the dice. Sent...

    2022 IA public land 8 point

    Iowa Public land 8 point. Rough year for me, couldn't locate many shooters on the private ground I hunt or public and I was hunting my tail off. Spent a lot of time in the tree just hoping for a mature cruiser buck. My 2 week rut vacation came and went and I had a single encounter with a giant...

    Passing bucks and success rate

    When you guys pass deer with the intention of letting them get another year bigger does this generally work out for you? I'm just curious how often a buck is passed and actually harvested? By passing I mean either choosing to not hunt a specific buck or passing a shot opportunity, so basically...

    How many trail cams?

    How many trail cams you guys running? Also, how many per acreage are adequate to cover the spot well? I currently have 8 operational and I struggle to cover ground as well as I want; hard to bump up the numbers when it seems like one dies or gets stolen every year. Between public and private I...

    Eberlestock gunslinger II pack for carrying climbing sticks

    Hey all, Just wanted to share what I found to transport my climbing sticks. I've been tinkering for years and I came across this pack and it works great. It's designed as a built in scabbord for a gun, but it fits my modified lone wolf sticks perfectly. If your standoffs can't rotate this pack...

    Best and worst cheap trail cams.

    I'm curious what you guys have experienced with cheaper trail cams? What brands are good, what brands sucked? I know you get what you pay for; I have expensive trail cams, but since I hunt a lot of public I don't like to risk a $200 camera getting stolen. I don't have cell service in 85...

    Med/trauma kits

    Curious if guys carry med kits on them while hunting? Not like a boo boo kit; (bandaids, gauze, cold pack, etc type of kit), but trauma stuff like tourniquets, chest seal, battle dress bandages, etc. I hunt pretty remotely and sometimes that means no cell service. Although I doubt I'll ever...

    Made in China vs. Made in USA

    So recently I was optic/rangefinder shopping and it was frustrating to me how basically all rifle scopes, rangefinders and red dots at the entry to mid level price range are made in China, Phillipines or Japan. Even Leupold's products are made elsewhere now, unless you buy the really high end...

    How cold is it in Iowa?

    Apparently, cold enough to freeze your tail off if you're this poor squirrel. . Not sure the story is here, but just a tail tells me it was a bad day for this tree rat. Lol

    Success rate during different weapon seasons.

    So I've always noticed some guys, myself included, kill almost all of their deer in one specific season. I've never killed a mature buck with a firearm; I do great during the rut with archery tackle, but struggle during late or gun season. On the reverse side I see some guys who consistently...

    2020 public land buck

    This is super long, so skip to the end if you don't care for all the details. It started with an encounter on October 30th. I had this buck at 25 yds with no shot. I came back to that spot on November 6th and was setup in my saddle plenty early before daylight. I selected a tree in the dark...

    Arrow length compared to draw length?

    What are you guys running for draw length compared to arrow length? For some reason I have been shooting 30" arrows for years. I used to have a 30" draw, but I dropped it down to a 29 or 28" draw, can't remember off the top of my head when or what length. Anyway, I ordered some 100 grain...

    Trail cam longevity

    Out of curiosity, how many years do you guys get out of your trail cams? In other words what is the life expectancy? I have a group of cheap coverts that are going downhill fast at about the 5-7 yr mark. They're starting to fail to take pictures, fail to fire up right away and malfunctioning...

    2019 archery buck

    2019 will go down as one of the biggest learning seasons for me. My main area in Warren county got wiped, like buck apocalypse wiped. Had 4-5 shooters/would be shooters on cam last year and they all disappeared, doe population took a big hit too. In a place that historically has great age...

    Mature bucks and secondary trails

    I was watching an episode of The Hunting Public the other day and they mentioned bucks using secondary trails and setting up for those situations. It got me to thinking that almost all of the mature bucks that I have shot were traveling trails that were not the main highway trails in the area...

    Why it's illegal to shoot over state water ways

    So one of the places I hunt borders the raccoon river. I have one stand location specifically, that is very close to the water and across the river is public land. I never paid much attention to across the river, but I got to thinking that during muzzleloader season I should setup so I could...
