I recently acquired some prints that came from a smoker's home. They are all framed/matted and smell like they came out of a bar. My wife and I wiped down the frames and cleaned the glass on the prints and the rags were brown/yellow/black from the tar and smoke. A couple of the prints are...

Does anybody here have an online resource that can give a guy an idea of stumpage prices or at least trends? Better yet, has anybody sold hickory or black cherry logs recently? A farm I hunt has a draw full of nice trees, especially cherry, that is going to get dozed this spring for ag...

I came to this forum last fall and winter seeking advice, and also did quite a bit of reading in addition to the questions I asked. After putting everything together I wanted to thank everyone again and let them know some results. My 9 year old is shooting a brand new Traditions Pursuit...

Before bow season is over I think we'll be complaining about wet conditions. This dry steak will break and I keep thinking my boot dryer will get a workout in October.

I know somebody on this forum will have the information I'm looking for. At the Deer Classic this year was a guy that made plaques for all kinds of different taxidermy needs. He had some really unique looking setups for mounting a turkey fan. I believe he was from Wisconsin...his booth was...

Forgive me, I'm very green when it comes to muzzleloaders. I've been doing my own research and handling some guns the past few weeks. I'm looking to purchase a gun for my son. He is currently 8 and just harvested his first deer during youth season with a 20 ga. He is hooked and wants his own...

I know it's a bit early, but the real-time harvest data on the DNR's site is looking pretty light so far. As of Monday evening about 68k deer have been reported. Last year the total reported was over 142,000 for all seasons. On Friday, before the shotgun season started about 35k deer had...

I put my last stand out this afternoon. I probably don't have to tell anybody that it's pretty dog gone warm out today. I adjusted my two main ladder stands by about 30 yards and 75 yards respectively from last year. Little changes that could end up paying off nicely later in the season...

Does anybody posting here stand to lose some hunting ground to this project? Or any other ground for that matter? I have no ties, nor any interest in either side. I'm just curious to see if there is anybody with a dog in the fight who posts here. It sounds like they are wanting to flood some...

I set a stand today on some ground that is amazing. I fell into the opportunity to hunt this parcel almost on accident. It is so prime everybody should hate me for it. Feel free to do so. That is all.

There is an absolute brute of a 250" deer in the DNR building this year. One of the coolest deer I've ever seen. They're also displaying an ATV confiscated from a poacher. For the uninitiated, all the deer and items in this area have been taken from poachers. There is also a very neat...

I'm the proud new owner of a very nice stand. I like this one very much. Stable, comfortable, and really tall. A word to the wise: you'll need two guys to get this thing tipped up against a tree. The seat makes the stand so top heavy that you become the fulcrum in a teeter-totter when you...

I'm planning on trying a new locker this year. This locker wants me to bring my deer to them as a field dressed carcass, with the hide still on. They charge extra is the hide if not on the carcass when I bring it in. My old locker required all deer meat to be boned out when it was brought...

That's all I can say.

I just picked up a rifled barrel with a cantilevered scope mount for my 870. I'd love to slap a Holosight on it but I'm tempted to buy a red dot as well. Anybody else got an opinion for me? I typically stand hunt on private ground during the gun season in heavy timber. I've never had to/or...

With the season approaching I wanted to see if anybody else was looking forward to hunting from the ground early on? I have a few spots in some funnels that always serve up some excitement with deer moving out of their bedding areas into corn. I just visited them and set up my seats this week...

...is a strong possibility. http://www.kcci.com/money/9650174/detail.html This is something I have been privy to for awhile but had been sworn to secrecy on. I'm glad it's finally getting out there and a news outlet picked it up. There have been a lot of "Big C" rumors over the years along...

Starting last summer I began compiling a list that I keep in my truck during hunting season. The list has all kinds of stuff on it, the most important being emergency contact information for the spots that I hunt. I think this is a really important thing to bring up, as it can be overlooked...

..and you can see my harvest photos from this year.

I thought I'd post a few items from the past few days: * My newest hunting buddy harvested his first deer with a bow Friday night...a basket racked little buck. It was great to see. No pics, sorry! * The new NAP Crossfires are absolutely lethal. I've never seen a deer bleed like this one...
