I'm pretty sure I would shoot and would have a full body mount done. I hunt too close to home and would worry about the dog and kids. The decision would be a lot easier with a gun in hand vs a bow. Either way I would be tracking it with a gun in hand.

I'm left eye dominant, and shoot guns left handed with both eyes open. I shoot a bow right handed and have to remember to close my left eye. The only issue I've had was in H.S. and my 1st chance at what I considered a large buck at the time presented an opportunity. In the heat of the moment I...

We had a rough weekend, and my daughter learned the toughest part of deer hunting. We only got out Friday night, and ended up seeing about 20 deer. The last deer into the field was a mature buck that we've had on camera for the last 3 years. He came into 50 yards, and she took a shot. He trotted...

Between my work schedule, and my daughter's soccer schedule we didn't get out this weekend. Next weekend is wide open though, and we'll be out. Weather looks pretty good for next weekend, hopefully it holds.

3rd for Sleepy Creek out of Wellsburg. They did a deer hide for my daughter last year. https://sleepycreektannery.com/

I just checked cams today. Of the 6-7 different bucks that were on it all but 1 was shed out by 9-5. I'll check cams on a different property next week, but I don't think I'll see much of a difference.

I have thought about throwing a stand in this 1. All the lower branches look like this from being browsed on, and there are usually 2-3 scrapes under it every year.

I run 6 on my 25 acres, and 3-4 on 120 acres of public. I have them out from mid July to late January, and they are mostly on scrapes, rub trees, and low fence crossings.

Anyone have thoughts on mulberry trees? I was always under the impression that people considered these undesirable, and made it a point to remove them. They are growing on me, and I've been leaving them on my place if they aren't bothering anything. They put out a ton of fruit that the deer...

7. I'm in, thought about doing it the last couple years, and didn't.

Sunflowers are looking good this year. They are just starting to flower.

Congrats on the retirement and relocation. I have a few family members that have/are 20+ years in the military. Not enough people truly understand or appreciate the dedication and sacrifice that requires. Thank you, sir. I hope you have many successful years on your new property, looks like it's...

True that ditch to ditch is considered the traveled portion. False you can't park on it. There is court precedent establishing that if there is so many feet to get around a parked vehicle it is not parked illegally. Sorry, I don't remember the number of feet, but I've lost in court on this...

Are you parking on a highway or gravel? If it's a highway just get off the traveled portion. The biggest issue you'll have is a sticker on the window with a 24 hr notice from law enforcement to move. If it's a gravel as long as there's room to get around you there shouldn't be an issue, but...

Like most large problems there's more than 1 cause and answer, but the social programs (Govt handouts) are a pretty big issue. I've been a Deputy with a Sheriff's office for 13 years now, and my wife works on the administrative side in a medical facility. It really is disgusting the number of...

What are you trying to do? fish, walk up/down the creek, or something else? The ditches on either side of the road and under the bride are public right of way. Non meandering essentially means the land under the water is private. the meandering vs non is more complicated than that, but that's...

That explains why everyone on here talks about the deals he as down there, The store is just a hobby since he's living off the iowawhitetail royalties:D

Sweet hats. Is the the buck that is the logo for Iowa Whitetail the same buck that is in the ad banner for Buck Hollow Sports? If it is is there a back story? No idea why I just noticed that after looking at this site for years.

Same, it's amazing how long of a tap root a foot tall oak has. I've gotten some to take after transplanting, but they seem to struggle a lot more than the ones I'm able to just leave and fence.

I have access to a newer mid 20hp Kubota, and own a late 60's JD2020 which is a 40-50hp tractor. The Kubota is a lot easier to use being smaller, an automatic transmission, and AWD, but It feels like I'm beating the piss out if just mowing and tilling with it. I have 22 acres of hills, and a...
