I need some advice, please. I've planted Frigid Forage for years and have mainly planted Big N Beasty in my food plots here in Iowa and have had very good luck with it. I have a property in the Southern Black Hills in SD (about 25 miles south of Custer) and next year would like to plant some...

Anyone have any experience with shrink fletching their arrows? Opinions? I see that NAP & Blazer both make them and would like to hear opinions on both if anyone has used them. Might be the 'lazy man's' way to fletch an arrow, but if it works, it sure seems like it would be quicker & easier...

My wife is in NYC for work for 2 weeks and wanted my daughters to come out & spend a long weekend with her. My 'huntress' 11 year old daughter insisted that she take her favorite hat with her. They sent me this picture from Times Square last night.....I'm going to go out on a limb & say that...

Had an awesome hunt this morning! Lots of chasing & plenty of action. Had a basket rack come right under me about 7:10 and about the time I was saying to myself, "Why can't this one be a shooter?" I looked up and saw a medium buck and a shooter about 200 yards away right next to the road...

The "Full Day Hunts" post got me thinking.....what do you guys consider 'too much pressure' or spending too much time in an area/spot? I know it's going to vary greatly by situation & size of your spot, but my 'go to' spot is 200 acres of swich grass that has one of the only timbers in the area...

I did a search here, but couldn't find exactly what I was after without spending an hour.... Do any of you guys send teeth in to get aged? If so, where and were you satisfied with the price, time for a reply, etc?

Shocked that no one has posted on this yet...if they have, I missed it. New regs are out with some pretty big changes for the Deer Seasons! http://www.iowadnr.gov/insidednr/socialmediapressroom/newsreleases/vw/1/itemid/2086 2014 Hunting Regs Book Link...

For those that have been hunting mornings & evenings, which has had better buck movement the last few days? I'm quickly running low on time and need to choose my sits this coming week wisely. Of course I might have to go by the old adage- "The best time to hunt is when you can"! :D

....and went out with a few buddies and shot our limit of birds! I've been concentrating on filling my deer tag so much this is really the first time I've been out all year. Somehow I forgot how much enjoyment I get from watching the dogs work a field. Even though the temp was a little raw, we...

Just wondering if anyone has had any success rattling the past few days? I'm not sure whether to sit quiet and grunt at one if I see him and he needs coaxed my direction or try rattling this weekend.

I was getting fairly demoralized with the lack of shooter bucks I was getting on my trail cameras this year. The past two years I’ve had cameras, it seemed I’d have a decent buck show up every now & then, but this year there’s been nothing since mid-August. With that in mind, I really didn’t...

It's been an exciting youth season with some deer too close (she couldn't get up high enough to get the gun pointed down far enough with the rail of the box blind), some deer too far, getting busted and hitting a doe last week we didn't recover :(. But we'd had a great time through it all & she...

I've always heard & read that you want to keep the buck to doe ratio 'in check' and thin down the does so there aren't way more does than bucks (1:1 or something close to that comes to mind?), but I've never really heard why, and if I did, I forgot. Can somoene please explain this to me...

Counting my blessings...... Yesterday my daughter & I went out to make the final preparations for youth season on an elevated box blind on the ground we hunt. The blind was built by another person that no longer hunts the property 10 years ago and I have since acquired the rights to hunt the...

Just curious- What weight broadhead do you use? Any particular reason why? I use 100 gr. From what I've read, for my draw weight, it's light enough to fly well but has enough energy to pack a punch.

I'm in the market for a full body deer target & would like some opinions & reviews. One thing I'm definitely looking for is easy arrow removal & ideally a replacable vital core.

Just a few over 2900 of 7500 left as of this afternoon. Seems like last year it took over a week and of course they're going to sell the most right away, but if you want one, probably better not wait long! I set my alarm for 11:55 and got mine along with my Plymouth County doe tag early. The...

I did a quick search and didn't immediately find what I'm looking for. But I'm busy at work and need some help soon so I can pick up what I need (if available) before the weekend, so forgive me if this has already been covered somewhere. I have a 1/3 acre foodplot mix with 2 kinds of rape...

For the 11th day of the last 12, I drug myself out of bed at 4am to head to the woods after my 4th season bird. Thus far, it's been awesome from the fact that I've heard gobbles every morning and seen a good number of birds the last few days. Frustrating from the fact that they've never been...

I was reading some articles on choke tubes and some are ported & some aren't. I'm not a 'gun nut', (and I'm probably not going to buy a new choke tube anyway, because my full choke seems to work just fine), but I was curious- what does porting a choke do for it? Maybe an elementary question...
