Our son Hunter had a late ML tag, and with last night being the final night of the season, he decided if it got down to the final 30 minutes or so of daylight with no shooter bucks in sight, he'd be willing to fill his tag with a doe. He let me tag along to video. We had plenty of deer around...

Yep, Trailer Buck 4 is on the ground! Well, I'm more than a week late getting this post up, but better late than never I suppose. For those of you who've followed the first 3 stories, this one is very similar, except for a different trigger person. As a reminder, here's what the setup looks...

I just love getting pics like these...

There are few things in hunting I enjoy more than helping a young person get their first deer. Our 2 daughters have both nannied for a great family in Waterloo while going to school at UNI. They've treated our kids like their own, and in the process, our two families have become very good...

...who seeds brassica plots, then refreshes the radar on your computer/phone regularly every day there's even a chance of rain? Seriously, this is stupid :D We narrowly missed again so far today :( NWBuck

So, it's turnip planting time, and last week we were able to get areas disced up and ready for the traditional pack/seed/pack and wait for rain routine. Well we got the rain, and then some. But unfortunately, we didn't get the pack/seed/pack part done beforehand. So with more rain in the...

If I get a chance, I'll use a depredation tag on this gal early on. I've always heard that a deer missing a front leg is in danger of starving to death in a tough winter because they can't dig through snow to find food, but who knows? Not sure what the cause is, but guessing an injury from...

See if I can help breathe a little life into the fishing forum. My wife, son, nephew and I recently returned from a trip to Lake of the Woods. We did a 3 day charter trip out of Ballards, and it was great. Second time we've done this trip in recent years, and once again, it did not...

Pulled all my cameras in late January, but while spraying some plots a couple of weeks ago, I threw 2 cameras in the ranger and decided to put them up just for the heck of it. Most of the pics showing nothing special, but then ran across these...date and time is correct, FWIW... Another...

A picture is worth a thousand words, so I thought I'd add a couple pics to a topic that has been discussed on this forum several times this spring. I stopped by my frost seeded clover plot yesterday, or should I say my diversified weed patch :-) But beneath the tangled variety of weeds and...

Anybody running one? I see they're selling for $70 through the site and have good reviews. Looking to add a camera or two, and thought this was a great price for a 14 MP. Opinions?? NWBuck

My son arrowed a nice tom Sunday morning and put team NW on the board. Up here in the northwest corner of the state we've been bombarded by one spring snowstorm after another, and while the open fields have mostly turned to mud instead of snow, there's still a bunch of snow in the...

Many of you long time members have pretty much watched our son Hunter "grow up" with stories I've posted on this site in previous years. From his first deer at age 9, to his first bow kill at 13, and the Christmas Buck a couple years later. Fall of 2017 found us sending him off to Iowa City...

OK, so probably not a perfect fit in this forum, but what the heck. So we ended up with more tickets than we need to the Pinstripe Bowl. Group of 3, near the 50, I believe row 19 or so. Half price if anyone is interested... NWBuck

I know there are several regulars on here from the Iowa City area. Our son Hunter is a Hawkeye freshman engineering major, and we are wondering if there is a place nearby where he can take his bow and target to shoot in preparation for the upcoming season? I did a quick search and pretty much...

If you're in the market for a new camera or 3, check out Amazon's "Deal of the Day" for today, February 25th. Bushnell Trophy Cam HD 12 MP for $74.99 + free shipping! That's about as cheap as a person is going to find 'em. I know I pulled the trigger... NWBuck

Doesn't effect an old fart like me anymore, but for you young guys out there.... :-) NWBuck

The final of my 3 harvest stories for the morning is possibly the most entertaining, and I hope I can tell it adequately. Our nephew Matthew often comes up to stay with us and bow hunt on weekends during the fall. A couple of weeks ago he was up and both he and my son Hunter passed on some...

To those of you who've been around this site for awhile, I'm sure you recognized the title and probably chuckled a little knowing what was coming. If you're new to the site, search The Trailer Buck and The Trailer Buck 2 for the first two chapters of this story. Dad turned 81 this summer, and...

I'm behind on getting some harvest stories posted, so have a little time this morning to get caught up. I was thinking of just blowing it off and not posting them, but since I enjoy reading everyone else's stories, I suppose I should contribute when I can as well. This will be by far the most...
