I have a friend thats a Police Officer. I harrass him on a daily basis!

It will stop once you put your clothes on !

And anyone who cannot see a crossbow is archery equipment is arguing for the sake of arguing. Or anyone who cannot see that it is far easier to be hunting proficient with a compound device than a recurve is arguing for the sake of arguing. And blah, blah, blah, blah.

While it will take immense focus and manual dexterity to make legitimate replies/posts, it will not increase any skill other than typing. Reading on the other hand will lead to vast knowledge!! LOL I say be a gentleman and let Growalot take the lead!

I ran across a great deal on a set of laminated stocks for my Encore, so I traded the previous owner some smoked venison sticks and a few pieces of old green paper for them. I think it looks great!

First let me start off by saying I have been following this site for about a year or so now, but this is my first real post. As a little introduction I am 24 and have only been hunting for a few years ( parents didn't hunt). I am also a full time nurse practitioner student so I don't have much time dedicated to anything other than that. About a month or so ago I noticed another post about a no till experiment and I was inspired to give it a try. The spot I chose has some history to me. Out of the 90 acres I have to hunt, only about 10 acres of it is hardwoods, with the rest being farmed fields (soybeans), and 30 or so acres of thick brush that acts as bedding areas for most of the deer on the property. Last year I Spent the majority of my bow season trying to out smart a fairly nice 10 point. The opportunity I was giving was in the block of hardwoods. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a shot because of bushes and branches being in the way. This is pretty much what it looked like before I started clearing out the area. This year I decide to clear it out and plant Whitetail Institute secret spot in hopes that I may be able to draw that deer in for another opportunity. On a side note I never got an trailcam pic of this deer last year, but I did find half of his rack in the shed hunting season. Not the best picture but it is all I have at the moment. G2 and G3 are 9.5" and 10" respectively. Any way so about 3 weeks ago I cleared out all the bushes and small trees, until it was bare dirt and look like this. I sprayed round up on all of the small weeds and waited a week, then spread out a 50lb bag of pulverized lime, and a 25lb bag of 10-10-10. I know I should have probably done a soil test but I don't have a lot of time to really dedicate to prep work so I just tried my best to do what I can ( full time student and full time work). Then about two weeks ago I planted the secret spot before all the rain was due and then checked back only 3-4 days later and already started to see a small amount of growth. I have a trailcam placed over the plot since I was last there (10 days ago or so). I cant wait to check back this weekend to see how much progress it has made and hopefully what visitors I may have. p.s. thanks to whoever had that original post about the no til experiment, I wouldn't have thought about this option without you!

Started brush hogging an older pasture on our property that has a good source of food already. Its about 3 acres and there are some decent apple trees, cherry trees, walnut, and alfalfa/timothy/clover already there so for now I'm just working on mowing and pruning. I think it has good potential for killing a good buck since its located between my corn field and soybean field and i believe would act as more of a staging area. It's also adjacent to a primary bedding area. This spot would be ideal for morning hunts primarily as it should be more favorable for the wind. I'll try to get a few pics up.

* Bringing Jobs in at least..But hate paying tax! Cheektowaga, Lubbock stores to open in 2014; Berlin to open in 2015 SIDNEY, Neb.--(Business Wire)-- Cabela`s Incorporated (NYSE:CAB), the World`s Foremost Outfitter of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, announced today plans to bring the unique Cabela`s shopping experience to customers in Cheektowaga, N.Y.; Lubbock, Texas; and Berlin, Mass. The Cheektowaga and Lubbock stores are scheduled to open in 2014. The Berlin location is expected to open in 2015. Cheektowaga Construction on the 88,000-square-foot location, which will serve the greater Buffalo area, is scheduled to begin this fall. Cabela`s expects to open the store - its first New York location - in the fall of 2014. The store is expected to employ up to 200 full-time, part-time and seasonal employees. Most will come from Cheektowaga and the surrounding area. It will be located at the southwest corner of I-90 and Walden Ave. in a shopping center to be renamed "Cabela`s Crossing." The exterior will reflect Cabela`s popular store model with log construction, stonework, wood siding and metal roofing. A large glass storefront will allow customers to view much of the store`s interior as they approach the building. The inside will feature the company`s next-generation layout, designed to surround customers in an outdoor experience, including dynamic wildlife displays and a large mountain replica. In addition to thousands of quality outdoor products, the store will include a large mountain replica, a Gun Library, Bargain Cave, Boat Shop, Indoor Archery Range, Deli and Fudge Shop. "We are very excited to bring the Cabela`s retail experience to New York," said Cabela`s Chief Executive Officer Tommy Millner. "We have thousands of loyal customers across the state who are passionate for the outdoors and who share the Cabela`s lifestyle. Cheektowaga`s proximity to Canada, where we also have a loyal following, makes this the perfect location." Lubbock Construction on the 42,000-square-foot Cabela`s Outpost store is scheduled to begin this fall and Cabela`s anticipates a summer 2014 opening. The store is expected to employ approximately 90 full-time, part-time and seasonal employees, and most will come from Lubbock and the surrounding area. It will be located in the northwest quadrant of West Loop 289 and 34th Street in a proposed shopping center being developed by Graco Real Estate Development. Cabela`s Outpost stores are generally located in markets of less than 250,000 people. They are designed for efficiency, flexibility and convenience, offering customers the unique Cabela`s shopping experience with access to all Cabela`s merchandise via online order kiosks and an In-Store Pickup program. In-Store Pickup allows customers to order Cabela`s gear ahead of time and pick it up at their convenience at the store of their choice free of charge. The Lubbock location will feature a rugged, outdoor look and feel, offering a robust selection of gear and seasonal products assortments, as well as museum-quality wildlife displays and an indoor archery range. The first Cabela`s Outpost store opened in fall 2012 in Union Gap, Wash. In February, Cabela`s opened its second such location, in Saginaw, Mich.

Highland Commons already is the home of BJ`s Wholesale Club and Lowe`s Home Improvement and Market Basket. Like the Cheektowaga location, the Berlin store`s exterior will reflect Cabela`s popular store model with log construction, stonework, wood siding, metal roofing and a large glass storefront. The inside will include thousands of quality outdoor products, an indoor archery range, Gun Library, Deli, Bargain Cave and Fudge Shop. Currently, Cabela`s operates 44 stores across North America. The company has now announced plans to open 16 locations over the next two years.

NICE........Way to sound like a grown up...LOL!

Police Officers put up with a lot of crap, but this law is too subjective and laws against obstructing justice or interfering with a police officer are already in place and sufficient. I cant see how this can be a good idea.

AGREED!!!

Yeah right...lol

normally i start my day by reviewing the recent threads while drinking my coffee. Today the front page seems to be a little cluttered...

Now we have compoundmen<br /><br />Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2<br /><br />

And you should spend more of your time on school subjects instead of being concerned about any post count !

This may be the most exciting footage I have ever captured. There have been a lot of deer that have come to this tree and a lot of big bucks but this is a unique 1st!

The post count does not mean anything, it does not give added knowledge.

I like the daily top posters..... cuz I actually made that list. it will take a few years to get to the 2,000 total post range and by that time every one that is in that range now will be even higher. go not point looking at that list.....

Lol.... I'll need radish to get through that clay loam....I spent a half hour digging it out from two discs...gathered grass and rocks then packed it tighter than ...Dolly pardon in a bra....hahaha thought you guys would appreciate that...lol... yep I'm feeling a bit better now that one plot is finished and the others are set to go...The clover in the one pic is growing like mad...I mowed it 3 days ago and look at all the flowers!

What gets me is how Andy can yap about saving one life to sign a law on guns / ammo and then say it's okay to end lives with late term abortions .

Atta boy! Still have all your fingers? Don't forget the safety glasses & ear protection.............................................................................................. Pics man, pics!

Abortion should be a right of the woman/ Family involved, As well as being able to take ones own life, We live in a country where we say we are free but we are far from it, I just don't care if a woman chooses to abort a fetus, Or keep it, Its not mine or anybody else's decision to make except the mother, I think that everybody should just shut up mind their business and go on with their own lives, Protesting at a clinic that offers a service that has to be hard for a woman to choose to have already is inappropriate. To have people complain about the terms of the abortion is just as crazy, who are we to decide whats good for another person, Sick, healthy, i dont care its not my business its theirs, Its should be a right that is not infringed upon, And if old Johny down the road is of sound mind and still would like to end his life why should i care, Its not my business, Pay up front and good luck JMHO

It IS a trigger lol. Its a mechanical device that fires the bow.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/05/nyregion/cuomo-womens-rights-plan-may-hinge-on-abortion-proposal.html?_r=0 "The language about abortion in the measure is spare: five sentences at the end of a 59-page bill. The sentences would guarantee a woman’s right to an abortion as established by Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized the procedure. The measure would secure a right to late-term abortions when the health of the pregnant woman is at risk or when the fetus is not viable, as determined by a doctor." Im no fan of Cuomo, but unless that article is misrepresenting the facts, it doesnt sound like anything will be legal that isnt already. Am I missing something?

Shooting a deer behind a fence is like paying for sex; yeah you bagged one but it still doesn't mean you have skills.
