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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Alright guys, your advice is needed big time here. Here's the story... I've been after a certain shooter buck this year and I finally got a crack at him. I decided to move in on his bedding area tonight, since he is so nocturnal, to see if I can finally get a visual on him this year (I've...

The season has taken a turn for the better (after little deer movement during that recent heat!). Last night I saw a nice forkhorn with a really high rack... let 'em go to grow but he was the first legit buck I've seen this season. Today I went out to hunt an alfalfa field. At about 5:45 pm...

Conditions seem right, a big storm with lots of wind. I was thinking of stalking a cornfield tonight. The rows seem to be planted further apart than most cornfields around here. It might be perfect for a stalking hunt. I haven't tried successfully before. Any advice? Start downwind, cross...

Howdy, Deer in my area are well fed but I recently put out a couple of mineral licks. I guess the two main reasons for putting them out is to attract deer to the area and make them more comfortable while in the area, and two, to help with healthy body and of course antler growth. Do you think...

Hi guys, Last week I caught some strange sickness. The symptoms were strange urges to shoot my bow and scout in the woods for endless hours. Any information on this disease would be appreciated... Do you know of anyone else experiencing such abnormal symptoms. Is this life threatening...

Here is my all-time favorite buck! I also like the fact that it came from my homestate. http://www.whitetails.com/art189.html Minnesota Monarch Location: Minnesota No. of Points: 34 I think he's the greatest of all-time, must've been smart to have never been shot. Only the sheds were...

Here is a tip from John Weiss' "The Whitetail Deer Hunter's Almanac" for all those taking on the late season challenge as I am (archery season goes to December 31 up here in Minnesota). When cold weather has been present for more than a week, water becomes critical to deer. This is especially...

The area I'm hunting has a little bit of cropland but a large portion of it is brushy swamp. All the locals always talk about 'all the big bucks' hiding in the big swamp. That may be true but what on earth is there for deer to eat in a big swamp (about 2 miles by 2 miles)!? What are some...

Hey guys, I have been trying to research bucks that came from my area locally that may have made Pope and Young or Boone and Crockett. Is there a good web site that keeps track of record bucks across the country? There seems to be random articles about random trophies but I can't find a site...

Hi guys, A couple weeks back I made a post questioning what your favorite hunting videos were. I'm one of them poor college students so I can't go buy them all so I am trying to filter out the best of the best. I got some good replies on the last post but I want to narrow it down even more...

Well, I am a happy hunter right now... I arrowed 2 deer in the last 48 hours. They were both bucks... one spike that counted as a fawn buck in MN so I could use a bonus tag on it and the other was a little 3-pointer... nothing to brag about except that I made 2 double lung 5 yard harvests in...

Hey guys, What do you think is the best camera out there for recording hunts. Right now I'm just using a pretty decent 8mm but my dream is leading me toward producing hunting videos. I want something that is small, convenient, maybe waterproof or resistant, quiet, and most of all... can...
