  1. Speaking of Cell Cameras, what do we have here? We have outfitted local ECO's with texting cell cameras. Already paid dividends in Washington County with tickets being issued. Pictured here are ECO M. Krug and some of our Branch Board Members making the presentation. We've also gotten them a couple anamatronic robo deer. No pictures to share for those but if you see them they will be a within a nice shot from the roadside. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

  2. They're almost done, still need to apply a couple of coats of clear. Trying to decide if I want to bother adding the words "Bills" on each board? Thay have to be done by next Saturday, not sure I'll have the time?

  3. I haven't been around much to share anything valuable lately, but I thought you guys might get some use from this one. Sis picked this anti-glare/fogging polish stick up for me at a craft show in Ohio this past fall. She was sold on it after a brief demonstration by the salesman on her own daily wear glasses. She gave me a stick of this stuff and as you can imagine I was skeptical, BUT I've been using it on my safety glasses and camera lenses I use for carving outside ever since, and it works freaking AWESOME. I usually wear a dust mask or spandex cover over my mouth and nose while carving. In the winter time I normally can't do that because my glasses IMMEDIATELY fog over with condensation from my breath pouring out the top and I can't see jack squat. This stuff works incredible, and I can only imagine it would work equally as well on rifle, shotgun, and x-bow optics! I usually draw an "X" on both sides of each lens, and then just polish it off with a clean soft rag or shirt sleeve. Also usually repeat daily for best results prior to heading out into the cold to begin my work. It seems to lose effectiveness after a day to me, but reapplying is a cinch, and this stick will go a long ways into next year as well I'm sure of it!

  5. Took my youngest out for a still hunt today. Walk a bit, sit a bit. His first tine on a deer hunt. We saw 10 deer, including 2 bucks. He scared every single one. Never had such a good time hunting!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  7. Don't over think or over call. Start low volume with an animal/bird distress, plenty listed that are great. Amp up volume as time goes on. Don't be afraid to pause / wait / restart calls. Fox typically commit, so if you see them coming hard, get on the gun and get ready If they don't, play with the volume. Go silent. Change calls. See what turns them. Coyotes. If I was focusing on yotes I would plan on being quiet or silent more than playing calls. Vocalizations are a great way to bring em in, def do NOT over call with them. Know what vocalizations mean what, yodel vs invitation vs challenge etc. Keep in mind anything with a bark is a very agresive call and needs to be used sparingly. Foxbang.... MEH. Great feature till you bump your remote and start blaring a call on accident. I have pup distress set as a preset and is the "user" button on my remote, so I can quickly play it without fumbling through calls. To me, it's basically the only call you need to play after a shot and can be very effective. If you plan on using foxbang, keep a good hand on your remote and make sure you don't bang it off your gun or anything hard. Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk

  11. Unless focusing solely on yotes, we usually start with distress calls: bay bee cottontail some of the rodent distress calls titmouse tantrum nutty nuthatch platinum gray pup distress then I would throw out yotes pups in distress 1 or 3 if we haven’t seen anything or we get a vocal response, as per LEGs suggestion I have used the following single female long howl (1 or two series) submissive yote female (few minutes) pair of yotes back to pups in distress run the earlier distress calls for 5 min before switching and start with low volume increasing as you go unless it’s windy then crank it from start you can try different calls - what works on one night might not work another and as they get educated, something they haven’t heard much might work like fawn in distress look up Andrew Leland articles for other specific calling sequences. Have fun. Be patient. And sometimes silence for several minutes brings em in.

  12. I am not a big time varmint hunter so this is not an expert's advice but over the years I have dabbled with the Varmints and have had some moderate success. I keep my calling relatively simple, I do no calling at night, all my calling is done during daylight hours mostly with mouth blown calls, where in addition to Varmints I have had Hawks, Owls Crows and even have had Deer come in to the calls out of curiosity I would guess. I would say 15 minutes is about the average time I call at a set. I basically use three calling sounds 99% of the time, for long range various dying Rabbit sounds, the more agonizing sounding the better, a Squeaker or Squirrel whistle for short range and a dying Woodpecker which is mostly for Coons but it has brought in Foxes on occasion and even a Skunk once. Also I do things a bit different by many times using one of my Airedales on hunts, they are trained to sit close to me when I am calling and will many times alert me to something coming to the call far in advance to my actually seeing it due to their superior senses. They will stand steady until the shot is taken a lot like a Retriever in a bird hunting blind. Many times they will be spotted by the Fox or Coyote but it is actually to my advantage as much like one of those electronic decoys that flutter around, a dog does not spook them off immediately especially so with a Coyote, it will hold the focus of the varmint while I carefully take the shot. Below is a sequence of a Coon I had come in on the run and could not get a good shot off, me and my Airedale TJ were busted and he took off in high gear but no problem as I released TJ to chase and he promptly ran the coon up a tree after a short run.

  13. Imagine how boring that job would be to watch all the footage. 7:15 nothing. 8:26 chipmunk. 9:15 red squirrel. 10:02 takes a leak. 10:04 has a snack. 11:00 wakes up from nap. 11:38 nothing..... on repeat for days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  17. Wife and took the wheelers out and pulled cards from 2 cameras we left out and found some new good spots( I think ) . Looking forward to moving and getting some new stands up. I snapped a photo of one of our diy ladder stands and the wheelers of course. Got some nice game camera pictures I’ll post in the camera section .

  18. Only thing to control the population is the reduction of does . Making the season longer doesn’t work toward that goal. Incentivizing hunters to kill does does. Extra buck tag? $$$? Open some public park lands to those most successful? Those may get more does down Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  28. I liked it....the vinegar and the heat from the Habanero was a good combination. I used a homemade steak rub on the venison which had some sweetness- that plus a drop of sour cream on the fajita made it real balanced. Direct shots? No thanks!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
