No way! High fence and pen raised.

Not at all. Just spent an hour the other night in the local trapping shop/store up the road from my house. Cumberland's Northwest Trapping Supplies in Owatonna. Next time your through I'll give you directions. They've got regular business hours. I can also drive you by the deer ranch where you...

I haven't seen my lottery non-resident license either. Should be soon!!

Wow! We have some of those around here but there in fences and on hormone growth meds. the bucks are sold around the country for big $$. Just a little unbelievable and suspicious to me.

Way to go Nick! I've followed your daily postings and glad all the effort has paid off. No tag for me in MN this year. Walleye Fishing Opener next weekend up North.

Very nice looking print. At first glance I thought the buck had just taken an arrow or bullet and reared back from the impact.

I checked out the website and graph information. If my math is correct, to compare 1,000,000 btu's of natural gas and corn, it would take 147lbs of corn to get 1,000,000 btu's. About how many bushels is that? The other factor is the efficiency. It lists corn at 75% efficient and 85% for...

Not a problem. You can borrow my Jiffy 8" auger. I live in Owatonna and should be right on your way up north. No charge. For the record eel pout is some darn good eating. Poor Man's lobster because it has the texture of lobster and it tastes great. You use to see them laying around on the ice...

Great recovery and payoff after a long season. Good job!

Well, here's the story of my 2006 buck and I'm sticking to it. Thanks for the replies. This must be about my 10 or 11th year. I look forward to my trip every year. I'll also try and post another pic that shows I was darn cold that night in the stand. The afternoon took me almost 1/2 mile away...

Awesome Deer! I mentioned this before. The guy up the road from me raises giant bucks (many bigger than this one) and sells them for big money all over the country to be hunted, in many cases, by unsuspecting hunters. They're also bred for giant antlers to be sold to collectors. He probably...

Very funny and I was thinking the same thing. Well said.

Good topic and interesting. That's an interesting point your making and something to take into account (other costs). I certainly am not knocking corn burners but there are other costs to consider too. Corn stoves still require electricity, fuel. Not much. A couple other things to clear up...

Hey HCH. Before you go ahead and make any investment in another stove or heating type unit, I would have your home checked for air leaks and get it sealed up. Otherwise, you furnace or boiler is really inefficient and could use a tune-up or worse need to be replaced. Sounds like it's the wind...

Very clever and good thinking. The little things are what will pay dividends in the end. Smack a big one!!!n

Ironwood did rattle in a nice buck that he shot. It all depends on pressure. If you can get into an area that hasn't been disturbed, it will work. I've called in some smaller bucks in early December. No hogs yet. The one thing I do different is not rattle as aggressively. More tickling of the...

I believe the answer is "no". Someone will confirm, shortly.

I agree there legit. There's a farm like this not too far from me that has a bunch of deer like this. I've been out there and visited with the owner. The really amazing thing is the age of these deer. There only a couple years old. I asked him twice about a couple amazing bucks and they were two...

Is this the one I saw at the Owatonna Steele County Fair a couple weeks ago? Looks sharp!!

The Raptor Center in Minnesota at the U of M is a good source. I'm sure someone can help you out. Good luck! http://www.raptor.cvm.umn.edu/
