...is almost here my friends. I wish that I could say that blake and I had already identified and patterned a couple shooter bucks, but then I would be lying :o I am quite optimistic about the season, nonetheless :way:

Man Working on Tree Stand Falls to his Death Maybe someone already posted this? Happened just three days ago... I recently finished reading a book entitled Deep Survival by Laurence Gonzales. Excellent book, I highly recommend it. A couple excerpts that hit home: "...a wildland...

One foggy night an Iowa fan was heading south and an ISU fan was driving north. While crossing a narrow bridge they hit each other head-on, mangling both cars. The Cyclone fan manages to climb out of his car and survey the damage. He looks at his twisted car and says, "Man, I'm lucky to be...

They must be trying to scare the patients Won't they let you wear Bonkerflage in the helicopter???

Unholster the 2nd Amendment Looks like the Supreme Court may hear this case spring 08. I sincerely hope they get it right and repeal the gun ban in DC

A Modern Parable. A Japanese company ( Toyota ) and an American company (General Motors) decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile...

Blake and I have seen FAR fewer deer this last year than in years past, and I can honestly say that I haven't seen that many more hunters. Which leads me to the conclusion that hunters have gone above and beyond in culling the deer population, at least in our area. So much so that we are now...

Anyone currently using the Stoney Point Rapid Pivot Bipod or have any experience with it? Can you still use a rifle sling with the attachment hardware? Looking to possibly buy one for my muzzleloader - any comments are appreciated

Picked up some pumpkins today... haven't carved one in years - best I could come up with

Wondering if anyone has used the Ultra-Rest ? If so, what is your opinion of how it stacks up in the drop away rest department? Looks like it combines the advantages of both the whisker biscuit (arrow held securely in place) and drop away rests?

Blake and I spotted and stalked this tom at 1:30 Friday afternoon. Glassed him from a pickup ¼ mile from the road, strutting and carousing along with another tom out in the open at the bottom of a heavily wooded hill, following 3 hens. We were able to get ahead of them quickly enough, while...

In the 8 years now that I've been hunting deer and turkeys, I've only seen the DNR - while hunting - once. Seems to me there is no way for them to effectively uphold the law and prosecute poachers when there aren't any DNR officers to speak of? Now I understand that they are grossly under...

If you're not yet a PMA member, now's a great time to join!

Have any of you guys read and/or heard all the bullsh*t editorials and press, hunters are getting on this controversial issue?!? Makes me sick. They go from having to shell out probably $100k or more to hire sharpshooters to cull the deer, to having hunters PAY for the damn tags, and all they...

Anyone have experience with this product? I thought about giving these a try... Also, how might these affect a Whiskerbiscuit rest??? I think all of these arrow spin products (i.e. Quickspin vanes, Turbo Nocks), do little to improve accuracy in arrow flight, because they cannot increase the...

Senate Bill S.339 Please support Senator Reid from Nevada, in his efforts to strengthen states rights to manage their own wildlife resources for the future enjoyment and betterment of all US citizens. Please consider sending Sen. Reid a short email via his website .

This is a question for those that process their own venison etc.. How much of an initial investment did you make in order to get started (on a grinder, stuffer, smoker, whatever) How long would you say it took to break even? How much work do you put into one large bodied deer? As you can...

FYI, just got this response from Senator Bolkcom: [ QUOTE ] Today in the Senate Natural Resources Committee Jeff Vonk from the DNR will lay out their proposed effort to address the deer situation in Iowa. I hope to learn a lot more about this issue today. I appreciate your in-depth analysis...

As serious an issue as the upcoming hunting legislation is for all resident hunters, we might consider staging a rally at the capitol building in Des Moines... just a thought. I participated in a very successful rally for Iowa credit unions last year, when the big nasty banks were lobbying...
