Between work, college, and whatever project my wife throws at me, priorities have limited hunting the past couple of years. Over the past week, I had cam pics of a big buck frequenting one of my favorite spots. A shallow timbered ditch in between two cedar thickets, no wider than 40-50 yards...

Can anyone give me their best guess on what type of oak each of these leaves came from? I realize I should have taken pictures of the bark and acorns for better analysis but, hoping this picture will do. South central Iowa, all three trees are around the same height (20ft) and are all within 30...

Congrats to everyone that was able to get it done this season. Figured I share my harvest. Early November I did my first ever hang n hunt. Chose to sit on a big oak ridge in between two steep ditches. About 45 minutes before dark I gave the horns a rattle and this guy came crashing down the...

Blessed to say that I had a great deer season. One for the books to be in fact, at least for me [emoji39] Bow buck: Was the morning of October 26th. At first shooting light I had this buck at 20 yards in the timber, pulled back on him but couldn’t find my peep sight cause it was pretty dark...

What do you guys know about Wetland Reserve Programs? I have read and researched about them but I can't seem to find specific numbers for how much they pay with certain contracts.

Hey guys, thinking of getting into filming my hunts. I know nothing about the filming industry and was wondering what is best for filming hunts, camcorders or cameras? I have a few friends that use $600-$700 dollar cameras, that's what has me asking. I am only wanting to spend about $300-$400...

Yesterday during the 15th round, pick 442 of the MLB Draft, I was drafted to the Chicago White Sox's. We negotiated a signing bonus and I leave for Phoenix Arizona today. It has been a quick turn of events. I thought I would get a week or two before leaving and when I heard I was leaving today...

Around 2 o'clock today I shot a nice buck at 30 yards, deer was quartering away and the shot was in good placement, if not was slighty low. After about 20 minutes I got out just to see if I had any blood, no blood on impact but did have hair. I followed if for about 30 yards then I found my...

With temperatures being in the 50's and wind being 20+ mph, it has me second guessing where to sit, timber or food source?? What's your thoughts??

I dropped off a deer I shot a few years ago into the taxidermist last week, and he said it would hard to find a cape for it, so he looked around and today he gave me a number and it was outrageous. I am trying to find a cape that is in the 23-25 inch range. If you guys have any capes, send me a...

My grandpa recently bought a browning 2000 and didn't know it was a 2 shot semi auto, have never heard of it. He was wondering if you can get a tube extension for the gun so it can hold more shells! Any information would be appreciated Thank you

I am just curious of how many deer are shot off the section your land sits on, (if you know what your neighbors have shot) per year/this year!?? I believe there were roughly 15 deer shot off the section my grandpas land sits on this year. 5 bucks (100's", 3 130's", and a 140's") and the rest...

Alright, my grandfather purchased a piece of ground about 3 years ago that was covered in cedars, This coming spring will be the first time the place has had food on it in 20 years. My grandfather and I have worked our butts off to clear about 20-25 acres off. We plan on planting crops on the...

This bow season has been up and down for me this year. Going out one day and seeing tons of deer, and chasing going on to the next where nothing is happening and no chasing, then it repeating again and again, i thought this season was a little difficult. I have had a few good experiences this...
