  1. I've been retouching for 25 years and there are some questionable shadows, breaks in the antlers and like Steve said the lineup isn't correct on the right arm. The give away I see is the size of the right beam, the head isn't turned enough for that thing to be sticking out so far front.
  2. Sure, I was lucky only had to put in two poles. My neighbor who is the only full time resident on the road is very close. I can't see his place but where the lines come in it only took two poles to get me electric.
  3. My place is on the grid. Had the lines put in underground. REA electric cost me about 55 bucks a month, can't beat it. We have a well at 170'. It was dream of mine to have a place like this and it finally came true. On the far side where you can't see there is a 14x20 shed that looks just like the cabin!
  4. Three00rum, Don't let one person sway you onto leaving. There is alot of good information on this board and yours is welcomed. You have to have some thicker skin with some of the members here, don't let it get to you.
  5. Enduro, Nice pictures the place is great. Is it 20x24? That is what my place is (here is a picture.) Did you do a loft? I have a loft above the kitchen and bedroom, best thing I ever did. Makes the inside much bigger. Good luck. I have interior picts of my place if you would like to see. Did the whole place in shiplap and had the floor and kitchen, bath cabinets custom made by a local guy.
  6. I hit one in the blade years ago. Bent the arrow and had small amount of blood on the arrow. I did see the deer bed down, I gave the deer plenty of time when I came back he bolted running with no problems. In his bed was a small puddle of blood.
  7. I've been in 10' stands and 20' stands. Motion and the breakup on you camo is keen. Don't look into the deers eyes either or you'll be busted.
  8. Hey my neighbor has a full body mount of a piebald he got years ago, looks great. Something to consider.
  9. Food is huge in developing a big buck, along with mineral content............period!
  10. Nice deer! I would like to know what does everyone envision after AR's are in place??? I won't be like the TV shows your seeing, the mineral content in the soil is not the same as the midwest. Can we just hunt and enjoy?
  11. Hey you may want to try across the field. I had a big 9ptr cross a field after I stuck him in the liver. Deer was bedded when I jumped him and he could of stayed in the woods or cross the field, he took the field. It's worth a shot, I found my deer hours later with the help of crows, yes crows, they were pecking at the dead deer making a huge amount of noise. Good luck!
  12. Great deer guys-Potter that is one great video!!!!!!! Way to go Pop!
  13. Great video, yup he should be on the list-good luck!
  14. In Steuben county some 2.5 year old bucks have some heavy gear, so yes I will!
  15. I'm over in Steuben and still have corn up but we are seeing lots of sign. Rubs and scrapes.
  16. I think in taking baby steps the one buck rule would a good start. I would agree to that.
  17. It's called rage! You never know what the hell the other person is going through and what will set them off. Take care of yourself and let the police do their thing.
  18. That is so great! I'm divorced also, thankfully I have the kids close and take them to camp often. It seems from your post you have a real special relationship with him, the bond probably never felt stronger. Congratulations to the proud father! Way to go Brandon, keep it up!
  19. Geno, Your right about what your neighbor is killing. I have a place that for the most part is bordered by people practicing QDM. The guys that were pushing it the most in the last couple years took some small bucks on their property.. You never know, are they telling you to practice QDA so they see and take more bucks, hmm? I hope this is not the norm.
  20. Way to go! It's a great feeling bringing along a kid in the woods. When you or they harvest something it brings it full circle. I took my two daughters squirrel hunting this year and they loved it!
