Five Seasons

i'm undecided on the youth part. I see the pros of getting youth in the woods and the cons on starting them on the easier path. idk.

hey now. we were all holding hands and you had to go and ruin it

omg i'm going to hell for laughing at that

I'm backing off from my 2 to 3 hens and a jake to a single hen and jake or just a single hen. Too often i've seen the birds avoid my setup. I've read some pretty interesting articles that do a good job of equating it to girls in a bar. Very few dudes have the confidence to approach 3 girls, and would rather approach just 1 lone one haha. I'm not a great caller either, but I really am starting to believe that less is better unless you're seasoned and after some big birds and know your sh!t.

possibly someone just dumping to avoid the trash fees? Maybe they're thinking it's organic and harmless

I have generally found that the more expensive grills don't last that much longer than the cheaper, so I've just gone cheaper and expected to buy new every 4 years. This year I'm going after this bad boy https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pit-Boss-Memphis-Ultimate-4-in-1-Gas-Charcoal-Smoker/446354238

i was on a mission last year to find a good cheap plastic water bottle. Didn't want metal due to weight, shine and noise. I bought this bottle and it's been great at keeping things cold. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MG133C7/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

kind of my motto. Target the big boys, but be willing to accept a 2.5 if the right conditions present themselves. Some argue that you should stick to your goals regardless. I disagree.

you make a real good point about doe. We have a literal infestation of them around my property, but they're smart and tend to disappear to the unhuntable woods when the guns go off. I can recall too many times thinking a doe would be a gimme later in the year for my freezer and that not being the case, or me just barely getting one. 2 seasons ago i was on a 3 year archery kill drought thanks to moving and hunting southern public land. I moved back home and had passed some small bucks and doe early on. The last weekend I was determined to hunt hard and let an arrow fly at anything other than a fawn or bb. When I heard the adrenaline inducing sound of crunching leaves approaching I was excited. As the deer appeared in the shooting lane i saw it was a small buck and my heart sank a little as I would have preferred a doe and to let him grow. However I still happily punched my tag. It was a great shot and he was a great eater. I was more than happy to take one with a the stick and string for the first time in a while and put meat in the freezer. this isn't true. younger is easier to cook and more forgiving. A decent wildgame hunter should have an arsenal of recipes to cook any age of deer so that age is indistinguishable. i have 2 younger cousins, but both have been hunting for 10+ years. Last year is the first that any of them shot a doe and it was only because she was wounded. The one has shot some beauties and even admits that a few were dumb luck, but the other has ate some tag soup all because his expectations are that of our 60 year old fathers. It was funny to see her gut the doe and watch them have a discussion about the girl parts. I was like "ummm have neither of you done this before?" lol. Jesus lay em down before you get all picky.

i should also point out that this article was written by Brody Henderson.

i picked UB to get to the sweet 16 and syracuse and ole miss to win their first games. My biases also failed me.

Thought this was a good read. I know how some of you feel http://www.themeateater.com/hunt/ask-meateater/ask-meateater-whats-wrong-with-shooting-young-bucks?utm_source=MeatEater Subscribers&utm_campaign=c130e7734a-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_03_27_03_33&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_e4b2ec63b4-c130e7734a-26625843&mc_cid=c130e7734a&mc_eid=e14438f695

my sentiments exactly. And i'd add age to xbows and I'd make the medical permit easy to obtain.

I lost my first final 4 team with Michigan last night. I also had nova beating Tennessee... so yeah.

So it's more acceptable for you to tell me how to feel so that we can show solidarity, than it is for me to have my own thoughts and feelings as an individual? You realize that's what's wrong with this country right? I'm not anti-african hunting, but it's not something I would do myself and I don't really condone what this guy did. But I'm the bad guy?

i do the same for picking up dog poop. one bag for poop, the other for picking it up.

unfortunately? aren't these bird seed robbing bastards the number 1 seller for pellet guns?

GM? Maybe I missed something, but that's a ford in your original post.

every few years we adjust the straps to adjust for the growing tree. It's a good practice for screw ins and sticks too.

this exactly. it f'n sucks

that was my only option besides a silverado. I would never buy one of these. It really struggles at higher speeds, the ride is rough. It doesn't have auto headlights or climate, feels top heavy on turns, is super loud in the cabin and is just not comfortable. yeah it's the worst. 5.5 hours yesterday and another 5.5 today that i'm not looking forward to. I like to travel discreetly, not for any other reason than that i'm a private person. deer fit in my silverado with the tanaue cover down. I don't consider your pic above "fitting" haha. But he is a bruiser, congrats!

nope. never on the outdoor channel. He was on pursuit and the sportsman channel. 2 stations that are very different imo. and nobody anointed him, but he is allowed to put out his content if he chooses and of course none of you have to agree or not. and yeah, keep slurping the "well it was legal" juice. The safe act is legal.

I have to drive to NJ for business tomorrow and this is my rental. It’s a base model so I won’t judge too harsh, but it’s not very comfortable. Peppy though and the brakes are super tight at only 6k miles. I’m 6’1 and feel like I’m sitting way to high in this thing and there’s no way to lower the seat. Not great visibility and idk what the heck someone could use the bed for. My bucks legs would be popping out lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You’ll never be able to prove or deny that their social media nonsense and the hacking of the DNC won Trump the election. To Steve’s point, it’s not like they hacked the votes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

technically the Russians did try to f with our election. that's a fact. What the Mueller report shows is that Trump wasn't part of their efforts. I know we're just making jokes in here, but the more you know, the better you can be prepared to smile seeing the flood of liberal tears.
