TimberPig covered my thoughts exactly. I wish you a short and sucessful search. IaCraig

Yes

You asked for opinions, so that is all this is. I agree that quartering towards you shots are not the best, but they are doable. Something else I think you had going against you was trying it with expanable broadheads and light carbon arrows. How big does your expandable open up to...

I hang them in my garage with both windows open at night and closed with a little window airconditioner on them during the day. WHen it is warm, I try to get them cut up within 2 days. As far as hush goes. The Granger locker told me to field dress it but not skin it. Then throw 1-2 bags of...

I may have misunderstood, but I thought that 3 day gun season only going to be those counties where not all the antlerless bow tags were sold out? Am I mistaken on this? IaCraig

I am a resident and I won't complain about an increase if the DNR has to spend the new money on new public hunting & fishing lands. (and I do not mean drain existing funding 1st). I feel we need more public recreational land in this state. IaCraig

Well, I am kind of dated. My favorites remain to be the old wasp cam-loc broadheads. I came across a great deal on about 20 broadheads and tons of replacement blades so that is what I will likely continue to use for several more years. A few years ago I tried an overdraw with lighter...

I think the tastiest roasts on a deer come from the neck region. Enough marbling in the meat they are never dry and they are always tender. My favorite way is like someone else said, 1 can of cream of mushroom soup & 1 chopped onion and overnight in a crock pot.

There is probably more details in that such as price of pork to mix in with the Salami etc. (even though beef fat works great and it is almost free) Many years ago, I worked in a meat locker so I knew making my own sausage was not rocket science. With less than $200 invested in equipment...

If 2 cans of Cope a day is dipping a little, what is dipping a lot? I am an on and off dipper, I quit for a few years then pick it up again. It has never bothered me to swallow the crap, and the deer don't seem to mind either. I've eaten a lot of things that were harder for me to...

Great Rack. It is a trophy 8 even without the middle spike. (ouch, I bet he won all his fights with other bucks) If there was such a thing as a typical 9, this would be it. IaCraig

I hope there is an interesting story behind that. Such as, the developer did not know the city required the sidewalk until after it was built. It would be a steep grade even if you went all the way to the street, but it would not be as silly.

The short answer... Beginner bow completely setup with 12 arrows & 6 broadheads $250 - $325 Climber tree Stand $150 - $325 Bag or Block target $25 - $50 Total Dollars $425 - $700. Total Time - As much as you can afford The long answer: If you want new, a PSE Nova with sights...

Back when I used to shoot just 1 deer a year, I used to slice the deer liver and fry it just like beef liver with bacon and onion. (be sure to remove the bile sac off without puncturing it). However when I started shooting 2, 3, 4 or more deer a year, the liver started accumelating in the...

Yes I am very careful with the wind direction, using different trees & entry routes depending upon the wind. Also I make a wide circle to avoid all feeding & most potential bedding areas. Even though this is public land, I feel the hunting pressure is light because it is a long...

Thanks for the input shredder, I was letting myself get a little discouraged and I shouldn't have. Historically, I've had some of my best days on stand on the mornings it was hardest to drag myself out of bed. I'm going to keep spending all the time I can out there and try to use a couple...

OK, This year is turning out to be about the same as my previous few years, so I'm looking for some advice to break my pattern because I'm obviously doing something wrong. The rut is on and I've seen at least 8 different bucks in the last 2 weeks, but no size. 1 buck might be a 3 year...

I'd guess yes. He won't leave the area unless you give him a good spook or if the does leave. Next time hope he is being led by a different doe. IaCraig.

Re: Bummer Man That is a dandy, what a shame. I think it may be illegal to cut the head off a dead deer without tagging it somehow, so if you want to keep it you may want to be a little quiet about having this in fear the DNR will catch wind and confiscate it. IaCraig

Scoffin, I do not know how to give a short reply to this so here is my book. I believe the keys are scouting the area, mobility, playing the wind & putting in time. I've considered the area you are in and years ago I've spring turkey hunted it, but I've never actually bow hunted it...
