I know just the place for you Skip! We did one of these trips on a trophy pike lake in Canada and lets just say... I wouldn't stick my toes in those waters... Canada's version of alligators swimming all over

I had a response all typed up but Daver and the others nailed it - fall best, spring #2, summer can work if you can baby them since they're in your yard

Yup on all of the above - I've been burned when I didn't clean out chemical, even if just for a couple weeks. It gummed up and ruined a sprayer or two for me.

Nice! Cool video - bear hunting in Idaho is no joke! I laughed at your description of the false hillsides, endless climbs up mountains, vastness of the terrain. It's wild out there!

We've still got quite a few birds out west but not nearly like it used to be. It's funny how some days you drive around and see none. Then get a drizzly day and birds will be all over. We used to trap hard on our farm but that slowed down about 5 years ago. Picking it back up again now...

This is very accurate - I see deer around here move a mile or two in the winter leaving 1000s of acres void of a single deer but go to their wintering grounds and you'll find it looking like this. Come first sign of spring all deer move back to their normal areas and things don't appear "so...

Looks great! Skip - when I've used short stakes like that on tree tubes, about the time the red oaks got 1-2' out of the tree they were still flimsy enough that in the next high wind they'd buckle the tube over and be dead if I didn't prop them back up. Only way I found it worked for me was to...

Love it, congrats to you both!!!

Just realized I can share pictures on here again - been a few years since I've shared a harvest story. So this is a fun one to knock the dust off of! I can get long winded - so you've been warned! Our oldest son turned 4 at the end of March. We've taken him hunting with us since he was 1...

Here's all I found:

They eat them when they're growing in the summer or the dried heads in the fall?

Just checked myself - looks like it just needs signed into law, cool!

Any updates on this bill Bonker? Sure be nice to see get passed

That's a really good idea!

I was just gonna post the same thing - that's a great deal! Tempting. lol

Anyone ever try this idea: in the winter when there's snow on the ground, take a weedburner, drip torch, whatever and light up cedar trees one by one. Our pasture pictured above we really don't want to burn since it's about 200 acres and grazed down pretty thin. It'd be a pain to burn...

2013 vs 2021... it doesn't take long and they become a major problem. This is a big pasture of ours, so not a major focus for turkey/deer but same concept. This place is going to become useless if we don't manage it now. I'm going to start dropping them by hand this summer, it's steep...

I'm starting to join you all in this theory - I've planted cedars in the past and when they're in the middle age range they're find, but they quickly get too thick. Unfortunately it happens fast and over a huge area very quickly

Absolutely - there's few true mature or BIG buck hunters around. Most guys see a 150 driving down the road and it's a 180 when they go tell their buddies. Not that ones right and the other wrong. It's just a different type of hunting when you go after 5.5+ yr old deer or BIG bucks.

Oh ya, exact same thing happens in IA. Shoot it's happened to me and each person in my family. Quick decisions are generally made based on antlers and next thing you know you've got a 150's 3.5 or 4.5 laying dead infront of you. It happens. Some people do it accidentally and are bummed...
