    Coyote dogs and Private Land Deer Hunting.

    If you know the coyote hunters casually let them know you have taken up trapping and are a huge fan of snares and conibear trail sets. Keep a few traps and snares in your truck to show them. I grew up in a family that raised sheep and dogs running got shot without a second thought. The coyote...

    Circle of life

    I’m in the same boat as muddyrem, finding a few ehd deer every year for at least the last ten years. We got hammered in 2019 as well, lost some great genetic young bucks and a pile of does. 2020 was still a good year with several bucks 160 up to 190 killed in my area. Since then it has been...

    I pulled the card on my corn pile camera saturday after a week soak. 75 percent of the bucks I have coming in shed last week. I picked up 3 yesterday and one on a short walk tonight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Best Alfalfa Variety For Deer

    Land prices / insane!!!

    If you want land and can afford the payments buy it when the right piece comes along. Comparing ROI to the stock market or other investments is foolish, there is way more to owning land than cash value. There is so much money being spent on wants not needs right now it’s ridiculous. Look at...

    Skip’s Trapping School! Sign up now!!! :)

    Congratulations. I never could trap coyotes, putting in a good set requires patience and I lack that. Oddly there are very few coyotes in my neighborhood. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pheasant rebound…

    The wind blew this snow so hard there is almost none on the high spots, bare dirt showing in a lot of bean fields. I saw a small bunch of pheasants out feeding this afternoon on the way home from work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mature bucks piling in with cold spell

    Great bunch of bucks. I have seen the same thing feeding this time of year, and I only own 20 acres of timber and pasture. EHD hammered my area in 2020 so nothing over 140’s so far this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Feed deer

    I’ve been doing a quarter mile everyday with 3/4 of a five gallon bucket to the back of my farm. Kinda sucks but I like keeping the bucks around for shed hunting. Watching a couple does browse in the creek below my house right now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Welcome to my home, birds.

    That’s pretty wild. I probably would have let them in too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
