    First Gobbling

    Heard the first gobbling of spring this morning. It was only 20 degrees, but they were sounding off from the roost at 6:20. It's starting...

    Nice pic Kat. Love all the green! Now you've got me itchn' for spring... Saw some hunting show last night where they were flinging arrows at gobblers. Can't wait....

    Art

    Jim Kasper, Robert Bateman and Steven Kozar have some good stuff. Bobcat, if you like Jack Paluh check out Robert Griffing (I think his work's better). Kat, hadn't heard of Henle before. Thanks! Primal is good

    Last night I was reading.....

    About 3 Octobers ago I was sitting in my treestand watching squirrels when all of sudden a shadow under a tree about 40 yards in front of me stood up and started browsing on leaves. I'd been there for almost an hour and never even noticed the doe was bedded there. She continued to feed and...

    wetlands and buffers

    I'm sure your local NRCS office can set you up with all kinds of info. Might even pay you some for doing it. Or maybe that's what you're doing already. For a good planting try to get a diverse a mix as possible. I'd stay away from switch grass if it was me - the native switch is ok but a lot...

    Smoke Sticks?

    I tried those a couple of years ago. The ones you're supposed make a special bucket to stick over them. Most deer that came across it were curious but would snort and stamp their feet at it. Not sure if it was the bucket or the smell. Overall I'd say more deer were spooked by it than...

    WOLF MANAGEMENT

    You guys can probably guess my opinion on this one... I raise buffalo and if a wolf pack can take out one of my cows, I say more power to them. People that try to raise ill-adapted livestock on the edge of wilderness get what they deserve...

    Next year

    I was thinking most bucks should be shed by now too, but yesterday while I was driving home from ice fishing I saw a 140 class buck with both sides still on. He was with 30+ anterless deer on some public ground. I think I'll have to do some scouting there for next season...

    Albino buck

    Makes you wonder... It's got a pink nose and eyes - which usually means albino. The tarsal glands are stained dark too - could that dark forhead just be stains from glands and rubbing on trees?

    X-treme lightweight stands...

    Like Alaskan said - don't overlook ground hunting. You don't have to pack a blind - just set up under any tree. Assuming you've got good camo and scent control, you'd be surprised at how close you can get to a deer just by sitting still. I've shot about half my archery deer just sitting on...

    Homemade calls

    There's probably somebody within e-mail distance that has tons of slate sitting in their yard right now that could mail you some... Do an internet search for turkey call making? and see if you can hook up with somebody. If that fails try a geology supply catalog like Wards - they sell samples...

    What do you do for a living?

    Naturalist - County Conservation Board. Teach science courses part time for 2 local colleges and raise bison on my farm. I guess I've sold some artwork over the years too, but that's more of a hobby...

    Big Bobcat

    Limb - two different species. Lynx big (mostly up north), bobcat small. Linx has bigger feet (like snowshoes) and long ear tufts. Lynx has a grey tail with a solid black tip. Bobcat has black bars down the tail ending in a black spot on top and white underneath the tip. The cat in the...

    Curing Hides

    bukket - I've never tried oatmeal, but I'd imagine it's just to soak up any moisture that might have gotten in the hair. When you're tanning fox, coons, etc a lot of guys will tumble the fur in sawdust to finish it off. A blowdryer set on "cool" works good to fluff up the hair too. You guys...

    Curing Hides

    Brain tanning works great and is cheap too. Just requires a fair amount of time and elbow grease. Start by scraping the hide clean like you would for any tanning project, just be carefull not to get the hide too warm or the hair will start to slip (not a problem this time of year). You can...

    Aging Deer

    Sounds interesting. Be sure to post your results when you get them back. I wonder if it's something a guy could do himself? If you knew what the aging criteria was - one growth ring for every year? one dark and one light ring like trees? I don't know... It talks about using weak acid to...
