Wet springs can make a big difference in drier climates like the Dakotas, the West, and Texas. Makes for a quicker green-up and better forage at a time when deer are stressed. If a buck is getting plenty of good nutrition, he can spare more energy for growing antlers. Wow. That thing is...

Congrats to your son...and you Nothing forms and strenghtens bonds like time spent outdoors together!

Great story! Loved the "bonus" appearances of the turks and rooster. When I take my twins (boy and girl) out in the Double Bull, I sit there just praying for ANYTHING (sparrow, woodchuck, even the idiot-neighbor-who-runs-his-ATV-all-over-heck) to show up! They can sit there for five hours...

He's a brute! Congrats

Thanks for sharing this, Limb! He did a very nice job of explaining what he does, taking his time, and using the lineman's belt

Re: iowa DNR wants to raise hunting/fishing fees.. I'm as low- to middle-income as they come. I also have my share of beefs with the DNR. But I have supported every license fee increase they've proposed. If it helps them do their jobs better, more power to 'em. Here in MN, my archery license...

Happy birthday DOR Hope your day is great!

I'd agree; 3-1/2 on the buck. No idea of the age on the feeder.... In my pretty limited experience, the feeders do mess with deer patterns. I hunt western KS (when I can draw a tag) and like to hunt little creek bottoms way out on the prairies. Couple years ago, another guy (local)got...

Some real toads there! Thanks for sharing and good luck gettin' on 'em

I appreciate this post. Sure, every year there are true stories of hunters poaching buck, shooting behind fences, behaving badly, photo-shopping antlers, etc. We all cringe when we read them. But the vast majority of big bucks taken each year are shot by moral, ethical and law-abiding hunters...

Super buck! Congrats

Great buck! Congrats to your bro! Anxious to see the harvest pics!

Wow. Awesome post! So wonderful that you and your son can enjoy the hunt together...and share the same values and ethics. Thanks for taking the time to put together a great read and fantastic photos

Sorry, I forgot to note that the date was wrong on the first pic. It was taken this fall (October) guess my buddy didn't program it correctly. I figured it was two different deer, but the long brows had a couple guys confused. Both are still alive, we think. Living (mostly) on a 30-acre piece...

Wonderful deer, congrats to your son! And good on you for taking the time to shoot a nice picture

Well a couple buddies and I are having a friendly discussion over the identity of the two bucks in the cam-pics below. Both were shot in the last few months. Some feel these are two different deer, some feel its the same buck. So I figured the guys at IW could solve it for us. Whattya think...

Very handsome buck! Great job

Here in se MN, the DNR actually started some habitat work where they clearcut red cedars growing on south-facing slopes. They did the clear-cutting in winter, then burned the cuts in spring. After the burn, they'd seed native grasses into the openings. This was to re-create grassy openings...

Well I got a HBS from Santa last year and never used it....so this thread inspired me last night. Toted my HBS out with me and set up my snow camo ground blind (another awesome tool for late-season hunting, by the way). So the snow was sideways and it was plenty cold...and I was warm as two...
