I'm really not a huge raingear fan and for that reason, I've never spent the coin on quality stuff. It's looking to me like it may be a soggy couple weeks and with a lot of scheduled vacation this year, I'm going to be in the tree short of a typhoon. So...what does everyone recommend for...

Hey gang. Is this a hen of the woods mushroom?

Not that we actually ever went away but 2011 was an oddly quiet legislative session. That's a good thing. We aren't planning on having such good luck two years consecutive however, so we are currently ramping up efforts. We will be maintaining an active presence on Twitter this year. It's...

So I shot a nice buck this afternoon at 4:30. Mainframe 10, didn't have time to glass long enough to spot any junk if there is any. I spotted him one draw away (125 yds) and grabbed the binos for a closer look. Could tell right away he was a shooter and oddly he was looking right at me as I...

Well, it's been a slow 1.5 yrs for this turkey hunter. Last year I went 0 for 2 and I was beginning to fear this same this year. I've mentioned on a few occasions how the birds have been skirting my setup badly for some time now so I decided to employ a new tactic last evening...the old...

Used this sight for 2 seasons, it's in excellent condition. 5 pin fiber/wrapped. I believe it to be .019, can check into this further if desired. Asking $80 shipped. Pic below is a general pic from the net only b/c there's nothing more to see. Extremely little wear, bordering NIB quality...

Interesting week with the big thaw here in central IA. I've been glassing the deer most nights for the past 2-3 weeks. At the start, they were hitting the corn fields en masse but after about 5 inches of snow there wasn't a deer to be found in the fields. I actually suspected that they moved...

http://coolice.legis.state.ia.us/Cool-ICE/default.asp?category=billinfo&service=billbook&GA=83&hbill=SF2379 So a version of "shall issue" made it through the session. I love the 5 year term and the lack of interpretation as to who's qualified but does anybody know if we will still be limited...

Not saying there's a silver bullet, different situations call for different measures but when the chips are down and you really want to make your best calls what do you pick up? Custom Bully's slate for me. Bloodwood with hickory striker:

Hammerheads again for me. How bout everyone else? Liv, did you decide to give that Buckblaster a try?

How close do you try to get on known, roosted birds in the morning before first light? I saw my first strutting activity today. Now I'm pumped. :way:

Have a good one Ron. :way:

Not sure if anyone cares but the newest derivative of the "texting while driving" bill passed the Senate today with an amendment to now include reading text on a cell phone also. Now it will get kicked back to the House in it's new form as HF 2456. I realize texting/driving may not be the...

Just noticed the birthday ticker today. Happy 100th Don! If you ask me, you don't look a day over 80. :D

I struggled with sharpening this style of head for some time. Finally found a recipe that works consistently so I decided to try making a video. Don't expect too much but here it is if you're interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVjSBaH1xQk
