5 1/2, 4 1/2, 4 1/2... All great deer

I really dislike "hunting" with strong winds. I say "hunting" because it doesn't seem to effect the "killing" of Turkeys much. It just isn't as enjoyable with the wind howling like crazy blowing over your decoys and such. I have had some great experiences getting in close to birds but you...

I am also thinking about bowhunting NW Nebraska as well. Likely that March 31st weekend. Completely unfamiliar, just figured I would drive around and hunt public ground and talk to locals. Any help would also be appreciated.

All depends on the situation. Most of the time, the majority of the fish species in the winter will be holding close to the bottom. Bluegills, Perch, and Walleyes will be within a foot of the bottom almost completely. Crappies on the other hand tend to suspend in the water column. Especially as...

I second Lake of the Woods. I will be doing 3 trips this year and have done groups as big as 15. My Dad is a guide in Iowa but is taking a big group from a bank in Ames to Zippel Bay. He will be guiding through their resort.

Heck yeah! I head to Lake of the Woods in less than a month.

160.. 4.5 yo. IMO

Same here x3

Hunted East of Waukon last Thurs-Sunday. Lots and lots of small bucks. Rattled some in, saw some fighting. No chasing and no mature bucks around me though.

Pretty morning in central Iowa but slow. Had a doe walk under me with a small buck following her every move. That was it. Heading NE tomorrow to hunt the bluff ridges by Waukon. Really excited!

I am heading up to Allamakee County this weekend for my annual NE Iowa bow hunt. Normally I pick a weekend in November but this year it lined up better to try for the last one in October. If the weather is cool enough and the deer dictate that I try it, Id love to have my first all day sit be...

Almost hate to admit it but I bought 3 cans of the stuff online through Midway USA after hearing a lot of positive reviews. Well I was planning on picking it up at M USA in Columbia, MO but then called back to have them ship it up to me. Next thing I know I had two packages arrive a day after...

I sure hope not!

I like the point about "not seeing deer gives me confidence". I only do all day sits a couple times a year but when I do, I know that the stars are aligned. Being in a spot you know will bring results makes the excitement that much greater when its actually slow, knowing something should show...

You make good rabbit pilgrim

Pheasant hunting in South Dakota. Would rather be in a tree though.

I hit a buck 5 years ago very low behind the shoulder. He walked off slowly like a liver shot. Came back 4 hours later to find him dead in his bed. Perfectly sitting there 100 yards away like he was taking a nap. Analyzed the shot and I came 5 inches from missing him completely. If you hit...

Greatest smell out there. Especially when I open my bag of bowhunting clothes for the first time every year.

I have one about my introduction to hunting (outside of pheasants).. I grew up a hunter in a fishing family. My Dad fishes multiple days every week. Very young though I oddly enough caught the hunting bug. Might have started from watching hunting shows as a kid or getting to tag along as my Dad...

Thays what bowhunting and seeing deer up close is all about though. It will really make you appreciate when you get back at him.
