    I usually lift the buck's head so the antlers rest on the tailgate, maybe temporarily attaching a rubber snubber or ratchet strap so it stays put. Then you can jump into the bed of the truck and dig your boot heals into the space between the tailgate and bed. Put one hand on each antler base...

    True $ value of a NR Tag

    KBNelson, My guess is that your Wisconsin land would sell for more per acre than your land in Allamakee county. The reason… Illinois and Minnesota landowners buying up Wisconsin hunting land because they can buy OTC buck tags for $160. I have lived in and continue to hunt in both...

    Bows problems

    I had the same thing happen to me in 2007. I checked and moved everything I could think of and it never completely fixed the problem; peep, dropaway rest, sight, etc. After putting on a new string, the problem disappeared. It was the stock string and I was in my third year with that bow...

    I went out Saturday morning with low expectations, thinking I would be planting trees by about 7:00. I heard a tom gobble about 400 yards away at 5:30 and he was the closest bird by far. I figured that I would make the best of it and threw every call I had at him. He kept hanging up at about...

    NRs kill higher percentage does than archers

    Another question to ask is how many bucks did N/R's holding antlerless-only shotgun tags actually shoot through group hunting... bet that brings the N/R percentage below the resident percentage.

    friends of iowa news article..here they come

    Unfortunately, the only place I hear the negatives of the FOI movement is on this site. Even the IBA site does not have a page dedicated to the subject. FOI has the lawyers and $$$ but they are outnumbered by Iowa resident and non-resident hunters that would oppose their purpose... if they new...

    Tree protection:

    I have been using the 5' vented tubes for my oaks with 3/8 rebar as stakes. Rebar costs less than the 2x2 oak stakes and I plan to re-use them many times over. With steel prices coming down, you can buy 20' rebar for around $3, making the stakes about $0.75 a piece.

    Any good Muzzleloader sales?

    I just bought a T/C Omega at the Dubuque Wal-mart for $225 on Thursday. It is just the blued barrel, black stock model but it should do the trick. You may want to check the store in your area.

    Love the show. Hopefully you can keep Bill Winke as the host. He is personable, knowledgeable, and a pretty decent bowhunter too.

    Best Sabot Slugs- Groups, Trajectory, etc.

    I have a remington 11-87 with a rifled barrel and have had similar experiences. I am not sure if Hornady manufactures different types of slugs but the SST's shot horible from my gun. I settled on the Winchester partition golds. They weigh 85 grains more than the SST's but group awesome. If...

    So Flipping Mad

    Sorry to hear about your luck BB. I had the same thing happen to me last year and it sure gets the blood boiling. Don't let them get to you though, and hopefully you will catch the low-life.

    Fence Laws

    Re: Fences. Check with your county's NRCS office. I recently recieved a flyer that indicated they provide cost sharing through EQIP for establishing fences. Sorry, but I don't know all the details.
