See- everyone in every region is shocked by this anywhere in the country BECAUSE: they see it through their lense of what they see in their tiny pocket or backyard. Seriously. MI guys will say “we have millions of hunters”…. But when you get to the UP for example or even regions in N mi -...

Here you go! I got data for things like CRP, marshes, pastureland, etc as well. Take a look!!!!!!!

I don’t post the podcasts usually. This one was fun & covered a crazy amount of topics. Hopefully this one helps some folks. We covered a gazillion topics. I had some fun here. Probably clear I didn’t sugar coat any topic. Growing bigger deer, consultants, how to buy land, farming...

You want any cost share for improving? Start there. I do think if u asked lindsay to call if she gets a free day- if u r flexible - bet she gets u in. We for sure can get u pointed in right direction. This is my bread & butter but this isn’t too bad for complexity.

2 good dudes and one total loser!!! ;) Guys have repeatedly said “why don’t hunting “celebs” speak up?” Well…. Some are. Lee sees what’s going on & is willing to help. See u there!

No business standpoint from anyone involved that I know of. Maybe one could say “guys that get paid to find deer support this” but it’s nothing like “DJI wrote this” or “the drone recovery group”. Like how Ravin will write bills on crossbows. This is NOT that scenario. Whether u support or...

These are the signs I have posted all around my farm. I had these made in last few years since thermal poaching got so bad. 75% of neighbors who aren’t around or don’t watch things close have no clue the madness that goes on. Other than “found headless deer again” or find one off road with...

What u mean by #1 - it is 24 hours a day- u cannot coyote hunt at all - period - during deer season. As a NR. Good thoughts on rest. I really like feedback where guys are thinking through this stuff. Really appreciate everyone’s thoughts here!!!!

Hey guys…. When I’ve said I want to hear from others …. I have & I meant it. I’m not a coyote hunting expert or even mid level- I’m novice at best. I truly believe we need to hear from your average deer hunter to the landowner with poaching problems. We need to account for areas with massive...

Curtis just says that when he is…. He just can’t stop!!! Watched him take down 5 whole raccoons in one sitting. Says his family in Central America - the kids at 10 years old can scarf down a coon, possum & armadillo like nothing!

When your stoned out of your mind everyday- I’m sure any game meat can taste pretty good.

I got a lot more Feedback & a list of viable solutions to combat poaching here & probably keep all sides happy. I’ll post it all up in new thread sometime soon here. I am genuinely asking for solutions & the few that offer- I’ve been getting some truly awesome ideas. I am actually thinking...

Does your area or region get a good bit of poaching or u feel not bad? I’ll paint a simple picture…. You put a 180” heated robo buck out anywhere in 6 counties around me…. That buck is gonna need have a new hide put on by December as it would get blown to bits. You put a heated coyote in those...

We’ve been experimenting a lot with this. Rotisserie is our current favorite since we ate the last of 500 jars of pickled coon. I prefer a mesquite flavoring or even a light hint of hickory. Tell u what- smoked one on the clippings from our apple orchard pruning….. apple smoked coon…. to die...

Who would let them lay? We eat them 3 meals a day!!!! We have neighborhood grill outs & everyone assumes it ribeye! I suspect all the kids at school are trying to talk my kids into trading lunches!

If the law mimicked IR & spotlights- using afield during that timeframe- would get a ticket if u were using it. Oct - Jan - if I get pulled over with a rifle & a spotlight - nothing they can do. The second I put that spot light into a field & there’s a rifle next to me- different ballgame...

From an academic pov or from the outside - it doesn’t. When u live in this world 24/7 u grasp the reality of the situation- then u understand when it stops. The VAST majority of deer poaching happens in November. Maybe up to mid December. You can get crime stats on any topic btw or get...

Talked to someone higher up in enforcement today on the thermal & poaching issue- I asked for more feedback. Good comment …. “The thermals & poaching are absolutely the worst in month of Nov & that’s when the few CO’s are spread thin……. A start or a compromise….. no thermals or NV in November...

Here’s some- lil variety of age…. That really catch my eye.
