    Welcome to my home, birds.

    I'm 51 years old and I know I haven't seen it all, but yesterday was one step closer. The whole family was home and we whipped up some homemade pizza. We did pepperoni, green pepper, onion and deer sausage. Fantastic! We all grabbed a plate and headed for the living room. 5 minutes later...

    Joke...

    Guy shoots his first deer ever and brings it home to eat. Wife agrees to serve venison steaks for dinner and they both agree not to tell the kids what it is. After endless pestering from the kids, dad says "I'll give you a hint. It's what Mommy calls daddy". The young girl screams at her...

    Pictures "near" the stand.

    Its a bit early for the yearly pics from the stand, but I was pulling cam cards tonight and on my way out something told me to turn around. It would be terrible to wake up tomorrow without all the things we did not thank God for today. We are blessed!

    COVID messed up everything!

    Since the start of COVID, I have seen 2 Novembers with little rut activity. I've seen sparring and hard chasing on January 9th. I have seen a 6" tree shredded in Early September. I've seen bucks sporting full antlers on April 28. Tonight, my son thought he filled an antlerless tag on a big...

    Free, 3/4" solid oak floor boards.

    After 15 years the kitchen floor is going out the door. This was pre finished flooring (bad idea) and there are a lot of water spots, especially by the sink and entry ways. Most of it is in pretty good shape. The worst of it is the close up pic below. If a guy wanted to plane them down an...

    Views from the stand 2022-23

    Deer movement has been as slow as it's been in a decade, but the scenery this year has more than made up for it. A couple hours in the stand just flys by, but maybe I'm just getting older and appreciating things a bit differently. However, I'm nowhere near as old as Daver. Hunting atop a...

    Glyphosate

    In May I was pissing and moaning about $120 for a 2 1/2 gallon jug of Gly 41. Now I'd be happy to pay it...if I could find it. Can I thank Biden for this too?!

    Dumb question.....but maybe not.

    Reading through the Iowa DNR regs tonight and this I have seen before but I don't do it so never gave it much thought. Then after reading a few posts tonight (not picking on anyone here) it got me wondering. This is pretty straight forward... USE OF CB, MOBILE TRANSMITTER, CELL PHONE You...

    What's this?

    First time ever in my life putting a trail cam up this early, so I have zero experience with "normality's" of things this time of year. So please forgive my ignorance....what the heck are those black spots?

    Learn anything new in 2020?

    Any new revelations in 2020? I'm nudging towards the 50 mark, but apparently old dogs CAN learn new tricks. :) Some things I already knew, but were burned in my memory for life this past year. Here are my highlights. 1. Ground blinds are tons of fun! I've always turned my nose up at ground...

    Dual cam vs single

    I was going to push it one more year, but after some bag practice tonight, I decided to say thanks for the good memories and put the 2003 Fred Bear single cam into retirement. Now I'm shopping...in a hurry. I love tinkering, adjusting, and fixing stuff. However, for some reason I'm not that...

    Hungry Coyote question

    Quick question, Shot a deer on the 10th (miserable in the freezing rain!). Thin blood and rain so I knew my chances of recovery were probably better to back out and grid search in the morning. Found my deer, but yotes chewed up both my rump roasts. Was able to salvage about 1/2 of each. I...

    Kids are so innovative

    My boy walked a mile to hunt a neighbor's last night. He called at dark and said he smacked a doe. I told him "I'm hung up and can't help ya right now, I'll be home in an hour or so". So he walks another mile back home, and heads out with the Gator to get his deer. He didn't bring a knife...

    a salt weapon

    Maybe I'm late to the party, but this was the first I'd seen of this when my daughter actually sent me a link. It was on order as soon as I saw it. A little spendy for what you get, but these things are too much fun!!! Hope the video works... https://photos.app.goo.gl/hxZcwTavu9Ah3v4x5...

    Need help identifying this creature.

    So, my son woke me up about 3:45 this morning. Said this had been going on about 20 minutes. What you hear in the video is the tail end. During the peak there were more "barks" between the high pitch wails. I've lived here 13 years and never heard such a awful sound. I'd describe it as a...

    A little late?

    Saw this forky...OK, half of a forky pretty close to home this evening. Seems a bit late doesn't it?

    Thoughts on arming teachers?

    My 7th grader had an active shooter/intruder drill at school today. They've done these drills before, but today was very different. The secretary did some good acting on the intercom and called out active shooter in a frightened and shaky voice. In coordination with the local police...

    Christmas Eve....

    Illegal to intentionally screw with someone's hunt?

    Question for anyone who knows, can't seem to find a clear answer. Got a riff going on between a couple neighbors. We''ll just call them 1 and 2. 1 has been caught last year shooting over on 2s property, then driving right over on the ranger to retrieve his deer without permission. Apparently...

    Late season tactics

    Most years I hunt hard for the first couple weeks of Nov. If I haven't scored the buck I want by Nov 15th, it's time to be happy for my time in the woods and play catch up on the reality of life (wife, kids, work, take out the trash). I may take a doe or try and get out again around...
