I have done about 30-40 euros a year for the last 6 years after beginning with my own before. I have found many ways that make it easier and faster. Just out of curiousity how did you get the skull clean? I might be able to make it easier on ya for future mounts. Looks good!
You can cut your time, effort, and stress in half by powerwashing the skulls after you boil them. I have done round 30-40 a year for the past 6 years. I don't like mounts where the nose curls are blown out etc. If you are careful you will find how much cleaner you can get the skulls and antler...
Less deer means less people buying licenses (fair weather hunters) hopefully they take the numbers into account and don't blame the decreased harvest on lower license sales only. Just my two cents
I think no tag sharing would be a good idea to increase the responsible harvest, but I don't think there is a good way to enfore it. It would definitely be tough anway. Few would go along with it while others would continue tradition.
It is tougher than it appears to be. Self-filming is a whole different level. Like it was mentioned above, you have to keep zoomed backed out slightly further in order to get a shot when accounting for shooting window. If you've hunted long then you know a hunt doesn't always go as planned. It...
Have definitely seen bad effects of Outfitters through friends etc. I'll keep it short, but I there are a few positives as well. Just can't stand the thought of losing ground due to being sold out from under me because of the almighty dollar.
That is too bad. Not looking forward to shed season's dead head finds, but it appears EHD hasn't hit my area too hard. Did have a friend put a stalk on a 150 class buck last year and was able to get right up to it to find that it was really sick although we were unable to confirm that it was EHD.
Good to see someone is trying to deal with given conditions. Thanks for pointing out ways to adapt to new conditions. Definitely plenty of things to consider. I am also going to lay low on shooting does. It may not be the best doe/buck ratio still, but in order to achieve numbers we are going to...
Appreciate the info BJohnson and others. Must not have come up for me. No doubt that 5-6 years leading to a roughly 33% drop in deer harvested is not right. Hopefully the DNR wake up and we see change. These numbers are not acceptable for the serious whitetail hunters (who bring in over 220...
This year he is seeing fewer deer, but they didn't exactly put up a goose-egg on his property.
No they didn't, but clearly there were no giants put down which is the real target for him. Some mature deer no doubt, but it definitely wasn't as good as they wanted. Don't know if you have seen...
