This my first year bowhunting. Been preparing and getting ready all year. Came down with the flu last night. Not off to a great start...

Wow, what a way to kick off the deer harvest photos for the 2011/2012 season! Hopefully you started that ball rolling for all of us : ) What a giant, congrats!

As far as deer movement I don't really buy into the moon phases thing, I dunno...not to open any pandoras boxes of arguing on this thread cuz your opinion is your opinion, but it seems to me there are some patterns yes, but sometimes the deer just make a decision where/how to move. If you go...

Don't know if there's any in your area, but a group of Amish guys built a really nice building here last year. Looks very nice and I've heard they're prices are right. They just weren't there for the part where the Bobcat leveled the dirt for the foundation : )

I learned my lesson a few years back...thought I was scent free with laundry, spray etc and a doe OBVIOUSLY winded me at 30 yards when she walked in down wind...so I figured out I never did the wallet and started leaving it at home just put the liscense and tag etc in my pack. Then figured...

In high school. A secretary came in and grabbed our economics teacher during class because his wife was a stewardist on the flight 93 plane that went down in PA...

This is my first year bow hunting so needless to say, I've been practicing shooting and as the season opener nears, I've grown more and more weary of my arrow groups. I just was not getting groups where I felt comfortable taking an animal ethically. I finally got my field points to a...

Thanks for all the input guys! I have a traditions pursuit muzzleloader, looking to put a nikon omega scope on it. The rings I was looking at are from DNZ: http://www.dnzproducts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66_35&products_id=185 They have some literature there saying...

Well, I did get my new muzzleloader last year but I wan't able to fork the cash over for a scope. I'm hoping I'll be able to get one this year. From my original post here, several stated a good set of rings was important. Can anyone recommend a "good" set (brand or model etc) and which...

Admittedly I'm not good at aging deer especially in the summer, but the good 8 in the top two pics looks young too. He's really nice now, but could be a monster 8 pt if he has a year or two left in him! I know that's what the "management" thing to do is if it is a young deer but being pretty...

Funny this came up...this is my first year bowhunting and I bought a used bow that came with 4 arrows to practice with at first (not to my length etc). I got my new arrows and went and shot them for the first time. I shot one of the practice arrows that my buddy gave me with the bow at 30 and...

This is the highlight of my trail cam pics so far this year. He's looks like an 8 but there are little crab claws so I think technically a 10.

Last season, I was huntin early muzzleloader and I knew this driveway was dirt and it rained the night before but I didn't know how much. So I rolled in at about 4:45 am and slowly inched onto the road. It didn't seem too bad then after about 40 feet, the truck just sunk. I just stopped and...

Congrats! Glad everyone is doing well!

Thanks so much for the post! My brother is a Marine and I agree its terrible to see what the news is covering...I seems you have to "research" to see what's going on. I know I forget sometimes that everything I do every day is just this little spec of matter in little 'ol Iowa and the reason...

a ha, I see...could be...interesting.

Maybe some of you can clear this up for me...why is there a proposal for early muzzleloader hunters to not be able to get an antlerless tag for either shotgun season? This doesn't seem to make sense to me. I understand why today if you hunt any sex early ML, you can't get a buck tag for...

Just got home from the show. Stopped by the IW booth and wanted to say to everyone that put it together, it looked great! I do have one question for others that have been through the main exhibitor room, what's with the one booth for bathroom remodel? I didn't get that one...lol

Not mine, but saw it on AT, thought the snow was cool.

I have a 130" 8 shoulder mounted. It was my first buck ever so it was special. In the future (I hope), my limit would be 150" gross probably. But I agree with most here, its about the story, the hunt, the memories. I think the bigger deer are just that much more rare to harvest so its a...
