I have found various pieces of old farm equipment one was a horse drawn plow made by john deere with a patent from late 1800's. This was in the middle of heavy pine forest on state land. On another mtn a friend found a large diameter steel cable running vertically up the hill. we figured it might have been a ski slope at one time.

they can be filled in early bow or late bow/mzldr

The forecast keeps changing. So I'm gonna wait an see what 2morrow brings. If its too windy to sit in my tree stand, I will do the still hunt/scout thing. good luck to everyone and be safe.

Aw c'mo n u guys don't use the acorn cruncher? Its been tested to put the deer at ease! Its the latest and greatest. Waddell is gonna put his name on it soon. Anybody ever try those estrus incense sticks? Im kinda leery of the smoke thing. I dont know how it could smell authentic.

I agree with doc and culver. Lets stop giving everything away. We have people starving in our own country, but any tragedy/earthquake/mudslide/tsunami etc in any other part of the world we bend over backwards. Celebrities come out of the woodwork to raise money to help. They start foundations and donate their time/efforts to help these people which is good I guess. But What about the AMERICANS that are in need? Our Military Jumps into huminatarian mode for these other countries in their time of need delivering food/supplies/ etc. We pay for this and yet most of the world hates us anyway. Why cant we just take care of our own?

Instead of coffee or tea when it gets cold I drink hot chicken broth. it warms u up without having to to so much.

I have an api grand slam climber and its very stable and comfy. It also weighs 38 pounds! my friends and I call it the "family truckster" not pack worthy. I have used a summit viper and that stand is perfect for bowhunting I think. Light to carry but stable once your up. I like to be at least 20' up. When your looking to buy a stand- dont cheap out. How much is your life worth?

Yeah I agree not bowhunting in the rain for fear of losing the trail in case of a marginal hit or liver hit. Right when the rain ends the deer will be moving and Ill be out there. Its raining right now and supposed to rain all day friday and friday night into sat morn. Those deer should be hungry on opening day!! good luck every one

thats cool my buck target got wiped out last year! I wont use any scents until last week of oct. early nov. a couple of years ago I used estrous too early and spooked the does away. I'd rather wait longer maybe just use straight doe pee.

I wont grunt until later. but I'll use a fawn/doe bleat sparingly depending on the wind.

I shoot 295gr. hp with 777 150gr. tight groups and both deer Ive shot dropped in their tracks.

4R mostly and some in 4G

I have been against deer drives in the past thinking of the safety. I woudnt do a drive opening day or even the first week. Last year I was invited to do a drive the last sat in m/z. I was very reluctant since I have always hunted on my own or with guys I have known and feel comfortable around. This drive was being put on by a friend of a friend etc they needed more guys and since I hadnt filled my tag yet I agreed figuring that if it was unsafe or unorganized i would bail. I was very relieved that safety was the most important element of the day. I had a great time , met some great new friends and will definitely go again this year. btw most of the tags filled that day the deer were donated to the county food pantry.

the early part of bow season I only hunt morning and evening doing scouting in between. late oct and early nov I will sit all day. I agree with doc opening day of bow is not as critical to sit all day. Opening day of rifle I will be in my stand from 1/2 hour before lite till dark.

was a member of empire didnt know what happened to the site glad I found it
