First sit of the season, 3 does came into the foodplot, took the largest one.

Big ole doe for the freezer, first sit of the season, 3 does came into the food plot, took the largest one.

Welcome, where would that be?

I own 41 acres and its plenty enough for me and two others. Its not really about the size as it is the quality of the land and what you make of it. The size comes into play depending on how many will hunt it. With 62 acres and you put in 4-6 food plots and no agriculture around you, that is a recipe for a gold mine. My 41 acres has many agricultural farms near by and I still attract deer.by offering different food, water and cover. Plant some apples trees, put in a few large to medium size food plots and you will be golden. Remember the process never ends, either small or large projects but I try to do something to my land each year that makes it better, more attractive to wildlife.. If your into working hard and have the equipment, 62 acres can become a paradise for hunting. Good luck and keep us posted.

A black bear mother with cubs or yearlings will kill you just as fast as a grizzly. Unlikely but very possible.

Thats extremely odd!!!

I'm living vicarious thru you guys.

My sediments exactly, I just don't get all the tension. I'd be lying if I said nothing was wrong with that pic..like you said why even bother being on a hunting forum if you get upset at innocent questioning. BTW Hydros rule!!

I didn't realize there was such an etiquette, guess I was raised wrong. This is getting comical. This is the internet, cant take comments then maybe the internet is not for everyone. I agree with you belo and like I indicated in my first response I just think it was an odd pic. and others were just curious. If someone's posts a pic. and I want to make a comment I will do just that, this is entertainment. Some people are just too uptight these days. Its besides me that people have a hard time and get upset just to amswer a couple simple questions. Seemed to be a civil discussion among fellow hunters thats all, atleast thats the way I saw it. Oh well.

Baffin boots by far the best extreme cold weather boots. I only use a thin dress sock with them and my feet are nice and toasty, typically will only pull them out during the late ML season or tail end of rifle season.

Salmon and Bok Choy!!!

Good luck, big buck and shave that works for me.

LMAO , thats sad...jk..your better off, shaving is a pain.

So true.

Haha, he won't shave it. He loves that he can grow a full beard at 16 while most of his friends still rock baby faces... Iol

Must be a Mod less site, not sure.

So proud of this kid, 16yrs old and competed this weekend in a 18u division NJ tournament/ college showcase. Pitched yesterday for 2 innings in front of college coaches, faced 7 batters , struck out 5 of them and gave up only 1 hit. One of the kids (men) he struck out had arms the size of my legs...lol...thankfully hes talented and big framed and can compete at this level. My son was approached by a college coach from PA, was a great experience for him.

Absolutely amazing !!!

To be honest Phade if I shot a buck like that I would be happy to answer a million questions, but thats just me. Like someone said, he looks very bloated take it as a compliment. I dont think there was any ill will from anyone, just curiosity. Again congrats on a great buck!!!

Chill out dude, cant answer questions then yes don't post your kills. I dont see what was wrong with others questions. He does look very bloated. BTW great buck and congrats!!! Get a weight on that hog.

Never ever hunted the wind, wind always swirl and change at a minutes notice on my mountain, most my spots the deer appear on all four sides of my stands.

Thanks all, will take everything suggested into consideration.

My 12 yr. old just passed his hunter ed and I'm looking into rifles for him so he can'start shooting now until he's able to gun hunt at 14. My questions are, he does everything lefty but is right eye dominant, I would assume I need to purchase a rifle based upon his eye dominance and not his dexterity?? My second question, im leaning towards a 243 or 257 roberts for thier mild recoil, your thoughts or any other mild recoil caliber suggestions? Hes average height but thin.

So sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
