2023 hunting season started off with me being wayyyy behind of where I normally am. Lots of kids activities and a baby born in July led me to being behind in scouting, glassing and trail camera manipulation. October came and went with only a few treestand sits and no mature buck sightings...

By far the latest I've seen one like this. I'm no expert but this has to be from even later than on of those December or January does being bred doesn't it? Going to be a rough winter for it I have a feeling Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

New to the straight wall game. What's everyone running for 450 bullets? I picked up some Barnes at Scheels because I've always had great luck with their performance in muzzy bullets and shotgun sabots. Well on the little guys deer it was a pine hole in, hit alot of bone, and was like the tip of...

Figured I would make a thread. Since tagging out early my kids have fallen in love with trapping which has reignited and old passion I had growing up. We started out opening weekend just putting out a few dog proofs for coons and were gonna add to the line when stuff primed up a bit. Ever since...

Someone forgot to tell me, or maybe I forgot to listen how much time kids cut into hunting. This year I was scrambling to check stands after some strong wind, set cams and do all the other stuff that I never had a problem getting done before I had 3 minions taking up my day. I hadn't hunted at...

Decided to throw out some beaver traps because the kids loved trapping in the fall so much. Put them out Friday afternoon and have produced 4 beavers in 3 checks. Had 3 traps out first 2 days and added 2 more yesterday. Theyre having a blast. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

November 1st 2020 was a day I will be trying to top in the whitetail woods for a long time. Morning hunt was windy and mainly uneventful. Checked a card and realized I was a day late as a big buck was there the day before. That evening I was supposed to take the wife hunting but she bowed out...

Alright so typically I'm not permitted to plant on my private properties. However this year, the cows are coming off of part of the pasture this week and I got the okay to either burn or partially til part of a pasture to plant something. I know nothing about plots as I haven't been allowed...

Well this season I decided I would try to get the two oldest on their first spectating hunts. They are 4 and 3. The 4 year old was up first today. It was a little colder than I would have liked but with the recent weather I figured we were in for a good morning. Got in the blind plenty early and...

Curious if anyone on here has or had any kids that wanted a bow and arrow. Got 2 that have been interested in watching me shoot and have both said they want a bow and arrow. They are going to be 3 and 4 respectively in early January. Not opposed to a toy bow or something actually for shooting a...

What's the deal with Boonerville? Heard some rumors and all of his social media is gone. I know some on here are friends of his.

Not sure if anyone on here follows Born and Raised Outdoors. They did a 50 something head, broadhead challenge as non-biased and scientific as I have seen. Their videos of them are on YouTube, but some can be sort of boring, but very informative. They did however create a spreadsheet if anyone...

Wasnt sure if I was going to be able to get out this season or not. My wife and I welcomed a child on March first and have a 3 and 2 year old so time has been slim, coupled with busy Easter plans and sick kids I didnt think it was going to happen. I got the green light for a Sunday morning hunt...

Not a whole lot of new information but some things I honestly hadn't thought about in reference to the prions being transferred to plants that humans consume. There are many times I wish I could ask this guy a question but I feel I've gained more from this podcast than reading any article. I...

Thinking about trying one out. Anyone have any recommendations or places that will let you shoot one?

Warning long post. Had been hunting hard all year with only one mature buck sighting from bow stand, our best scoring mature bucks got harvested during shotgun and the windshield time was showing the majority of deer feeding on the opposite side of the section in a cut corn field. Glassing the...

Thinking way outside the box here but after watching some of the latest The Hunting Public videos they are hunting some public land and the deer are absolutely hammering this plant. It naturally occurred in a marshy area. The area where this was dried up in the fall and allowed the entire plant...

Just as the title states. I'm interested in everyone's trail camera tactics. The guys that own or hunt alot of land or separate properties how many cams per 100 acres? Also what do you do during each season to try to not miss any deer on the property? Corn/mineral during sumner? Scrapes during...

Well this season started off somewhat tough for me. Have had the cameras out since July in all the normal spots to pick up good bucks in their summer ranges and I kept striking out. Pull after pull was filled with young bucks. For the first year in a long time I was going into season without...

Anybody have input and advice on this topic. I ran a forum search and so far it sounds like the Wicked pole saw and the Fiskars ropeless saw both had good reviews. I'm looking in the 150 price range. Silky is out of my range. Also looked at Hooyman. Any new products to consider? And if people...
