Same as I have seen in my 15/16 years of deer hunting. Seems to be fewer deer every year. I remember being a kid in the early 2000's before I got into hunting and the deer #'s I would see in the winter were impressive. There were a lot when I first started hunting too, but I didnt know what I...

I did all day sits 11/5, 11/6, 11/7. Saw some chasing and a good 10 pt one day, but nothing older than 3.5 Overall very low #'s for that farm compared to what it usually is. Was pretty disappointing. The mornings were a ghost town. This was in timber. Didnt really even see a deer until around...

Saturday 11/1, central IA- sat from dark to 1230pm. Very slow. Didnt see a deer until about 1050. Ended up seeing 2 does and a small 8pt. Sunday 11/2, southern IA-all day sit. Very good sit! Probably say 15-20 deer, some may have been the same ones. Had good movement until about 1030, then...

Just an awesome looking shredded tree I found a couple weeks ago scouting.

Not sure. I've noticed too sometimes deer are active and up & moving when you wouldn't expect it and it spots that you wouldn't expect. Not sure you can find a link to it. Just deer doing deer things.

6 months to a year seems to be the norm from what I read usually. Earlier in the season you bring a deer in the sooner you'll get it back. Ive had 3 mounts done, they've ranged from about 4 months to 8 months. 2 years and not back yet is nuts. I would think they should stop taking on so many...

What age would you give these bucks? I have no history with them. The smaller racked buck seems to have a bigger body. The smaller racked also has some white/gray in his face, is that really even an age indicator on a deer? I'd guess maybe both 3. Maybe 4? Thoughts. Buck # 1: Buck #2...

I dont think cell cams are as big of an issue as people say, IMO. Yes, there are deer that get killed because of the cam, but not thousands and thousands of them. IMO the biggest culprit why it has dropped off is the prevalence EHD. In the past 15 years we can't go even 3-4 years without a big...

Yep, after a week of hardly any pictures, my cams lit up yesterday. Deer were on their feet.

Unless you got family money or a great paying job you are going to need to cutout the every day expenses that 'everyone' has. You got to be weeeiiirrrddd. TV subscriptions, new cars/toys, expensive vacations, eating out. etc. Pick up some side gigs. Drop your costs and you can save up money...

Tube. This is a plan my district forester drew up, so have to follow all the steps to qualify for the cost share. I'd tube them anyways or else any seedling likely would just get browsed. I did a 100 tree planting on my own last spring and still bought tubes and tubed them.

Got it done yesterday. 250 spot sprays. This is a tree planting in a couple different spots along a low laying creek area that has a lot of dead ash etc. So trying to reestablish some trees/canopy. Just under 5 acres total for this year. Next year is about another 5 acres. So its just sort of...

Good idea. Ratios etc really fog my brain, just over thinking it.

This weekend I plan to do phase one of a tree planting for next spring. Step 1 I have about 250 spots I need to spot spay where I will plant a bare root seedling next spring. Each spot spray location is supposed to be about a 3ft radius. The plan says I need 1.5%-2% glyphosate mixture. I'm...

Where I've seen the double sided along the interstates it seems to work pretty well. Im okay with that.

I wouldn't put a ton of faith in it, but thats just me and far from knowledgeable on it. I think for long term growth you are still going to be further ahead buying VTI, VOO, FSKAX etc (U.S. total stock market funds). To be safe, I would not buy individual stocks, thats putting all your eggs in...

Agreed, seeing tons of "price reduced". Still seeing some that are listed way to high, they arent giong to sell.

This whole thing is crazy. Seems like a total conman. This guys a total liar and thief. He took away the opportunity from a very deserving person. I will say its been entertaining to follow and read about it and peoples comments on facebook. My biggest question is how did this even happen. Who...

Those are some toad bass!!

Talk with your troop leader/other parents in the troop. Surely you are not the only one feeling that. If you have a strong troop, remain, and maybe incorporate/solidify your values in some way. Its sad to see the Boy Scouts organization change to Scouts and hear the camp has staff like that...
