I have always been skeptical of carbon suits too. I figure it is pretty cheap just to wash my clothes in scent killer detergent, use scent killer soap in the shower, and then spray down with scent killer. That seems to work very well. I can honestly say that I have had bucks and does downwind...

I cannot believe what I just read! You know, as a Christian everything is so clear. And even if someone is a different religion or athiest, common sense would undermine everything they have written or said on that site! Those are some confused individuals. They need our prayers, and to taste...

Yeah, I agree. I still think, just based on the shot and how the arrow went in that there would be a small chance that something could've snuck into the burger... the buck really beat that arrow apart. Anyone remember that picture someone on this site had posted maybe a year ago... the...

I just arrowed a deer. When I found the deer the arrow had broken off. I found the arrow and got the broadhead out. We processed all the meat, much of it into hamburger. Just now I looked at the broken arrow closer. The broadhead and its insert were fully in tact and of course seperate from...

I've been bow hunting for 7 years and have kept journals for the last 6 years. The stats you get from these are priceless! At the end of each year I calculate simple stats like the amount of deer seen per hunt... Then in later years when you're having a bad stretch where you're not seeing...

I agree that this kind of post is the 'meat and potatoes' of Iowawhitetail. Who doesn't love a tip or two on strategies and tactics. My tactic is not really a proven one just yet but I'm trying it out. Everyone makes mock scrapes and so do I but I have also added mock rubs to my arsenal. I...

Daver, your point is exactly what I'm worried about because this landowner is the kind of guy that is so nice and meek that he might be pissed to hear this even happened. Believe me, I wish it didn't.

To answer some of you questions: I do not know who the guy is but he does know the landowner but does not have rights right now. He had permission for the plot that buts up to ours. And yes, my dad and I have exclusive rights except for certain times when turkey hunters are let in and for gun...

For the last few weeks I have been patterning one particular buck. Each time I've been out I've adjusted accordingly. I have him figured out finally. He comes into this large alfalfa field 7 minutes before close each night I've been out this past week... and from the same trail too. I felt...

Ah, the answer to my question: There is doe-in-estrous in Active Scrape... That makes me sick to think I had been using Active Scrape too early for the last few years. Yeah, who knows what's in those bottles but it does seem to me that over the years things have become more professional in...

I always use Active Scrape scent on my mock scrapes but maybe I shouldn't be until the pre-rut really gets going in October? Should I be using just straight urine right now or does anyone know if Active Scrape is a non-breeding mixture? I hate to use anything that is not in season in real...

Sorry for the off-topic post. If any of you have some ideas of where to look or could offer any useful info of your own it would be greatly appreciated: We are developing a mock business plan of, well, a mock business. The business is a hunting and fishing outfitter. We hit a dead end in our...

Say my prayers--the Rosary--that passes the time.

Good job. Cool post.

So... why am I posting this right now before closing time? Because I'm not on stand. Why am I not on stand? Because I just had a bullet zing by my head and hit a branch right behind me. Saturday is firearm opener in MN so I figured I'd better get out bowhunting today before the deer go...

Saskguy, Here's the only picture I could find of the Dennis Adams buck . What a beast! http://www.american-hunter.com/monsterbucks/dennisadamsbuck.htm

Ispired by the 'Mich Monster' post I though, huh, what would each state consider their state's best buck? Here's my opinion for Minnesota: http://www.nj-hunter.com/articles/viewshowcasearticle.cfm?showcasearticleid=75A2E465-A643-4C8D-A2AF1AE4CFAA5D27

While on stand, I got to thinking (imagine that... a wandering mind on the deer stand) about what my favorite time of the hunting season is to be, well, hunting. Strangely, I decided my favorite isn't the pre-rut or the rut but late season. 'Why on earth do I like late season when it's 20...

I was in a sporting goods store a month ago and there were some guys buying doe estrus to use that day... My dad was using doe estrus yesterday... still two weeks before the rut really kick-starts. I was debating with him that it is important to use scents in accordance with the time they are...

I work with the guy who was driving (if it is the same story with that gray van in MN). Unfortunetely he doesn't have a clue to the significance of that buck. He says everyone keeps asking him about it and he doesn't see what the big deal is He didn't keep the rack. Someone came out ahead...
