From dead sea to wildlife abundance.

One of my best friends died last week and he left this to me. (Thanks Buddy) lol. Anyone know of someone that wants to set up thier Man Cave with mounts let me know.

Gotta admit, the more I watch channels devoted to " whitetail habitat" the more I get confused. ( kinda pissed actually). So many YouToubers seem to follow the " Hinge Cuts" for better browsing at ground level method. I say HogWash! You hinge cut a tree that lives and within a year or 2...

15" and still com8ng hard. Sharp skinned hawks are having a field day picking off twenty birds.

Over 45 years of bowhunting, the one thing I've learned is..., Camo is SO underrated. I've killed em in blue jeans, short sleeves work shirts, and just ordinary every day clothing. I made a HUGE mistake last year and wore a set of pants I bought at Walmart (15 years ago?) To trail a buck in...

I just cut down an ash tree due to it threatening my cabin if ever was to fall in a storm. It was a live tree and from end to end (pics) it's 38.5 feet with zero wood pull from the cut end. Cut end is 23" at the smallest diameter and the top end is 17". Very straight and solid log. I was...

I'm out clearing brush now and seen a blue nock sticking out of the leaves. Guessing it's been there for at leat 30+ years? I remember this kind of head and maybe even used them in my younger years but the name evades me.

I've ever posted this before? Some (MOST) will find this ridiculous but .... Just something I started doing quite a few years ago for fun. The idea was fun but the work involved kinda sucked. I got some small wheat straw bales (guessing) about 12_15 years ago and just for kicks, I wondered if...

Had a few boxelder trees blocking my solar panels. Just cut them up and am dragging the tops over by the bird feeder. Lots of fresh buds on the tips. Will take some pics when the deer find them.

Last week, I was walking a stretch of riverbottom in ND. Today, I walked the stretch of riverbottom in Mn.. Right side ND, left Mn. Bout 1/2 mile apart.

Just looked out my back window. There are 28 deer within about 35 yards. Most I've seen at one time was 24. It's a slug_ fest out there. Lol. They are beating the crap out of each other competing for some wheat.

it's amazing how areas/ states can be so much different. supposed to be kinda cold and windy tomorrow here and the ground should be frozen enuff to drive across fields to get to some spots to shed hunt. called a couple landowners to get permission. " have at it". One spot is about 2 miles of...

Started about noon. I hit the Red River between Mn/ ND. First 6 stands were a blank. 7th n 8th each had a pair come bombing in. Got all 4. The big red one was full speed at 10 yards in super tight brush. Was kind of a point n shoot. Lol. 2 died on the ice. Left them for the eagles.

Really starting to pay more attention to those YouTube Stars and thier shows. ILike analyzing the cover/ lighting/ backdrop/ ect. I enjoy watching how deer come in to a shot scene, especially big old bucks because I've been amazed at how often those filming can get a shot in bright daylight in...

My very best friend (he's 83), asked to come and bowhunt this evening. He knows darn well he can hunt ANYTIME but always gives a courtesy call. He came to my cabin at 2 p.m and hiked into a treestand about 150 yards away. Was a surreal moment for me (emotional) sitting by my woodstove cranked...

What %s of you fellas in Iowa think the compliant rate is for getting and using that tag on land that is supposed to be used for? Now, I live right on the border mn/ nd and know of a very large buck on the nd side. In the past 3 weeks, I've had 4 different landowners confess (brag) about...

Bad weather today so have been watching YouTube hunting vids since 4: 30 this morning. One thing that has got me riled up for some time now is the proliferation of t.v. stars calling in for a tracking dog after the shot. Used to be, they'd try n track the deer first but couldn't find it. Now...

Memory as a kid involving a hunting kill? I can remember mine. Guessing 5/6 years old. Vagley remember the why/ hows but.. my uncle n i, we were driving down a gravel road and I spotted a Fox Squirrel in a telephone pole, I told him, he backed up and shot it (think with a .22lr). I was TOTALLY...

First time in years. Kinda fell in love with it again. Few months ago, an old buddy thought he was doing me a " favor". He cant bowhunt anymore and gave me 6 XX75 2216 arrows from 30± years ago. Just for kicks, I shot them at a target and even though they were 4" longer then what I shoot and...

This evening, I snuck into some nasty cover along a river and hid in a log jam. This buck came out of a jungle of high weeds and was feeding on (whatever it was?) For quite awhile at 25 yards. I thought it was a half racked buck. No intentions of shooting. Once he got to about 15 yards, I...
