  1. I use hunt stand lite, decent app. I mainly use it for wind direction and lunar phases. But I have all my stands marked and food plots as well.
  2. The property we bought this year was surveyed in January. It's a irregular shaped 46 ac. Parcel all I ever found was 5 markers. There's a 1800ft stretch of no markers. I found out afterwards I could have paid more to have it flagged better.
  3. He'll be in the area, u have probably 2-3 weeks of him coming to check it at some point, when he starts chasing it's all over.
  4. I have the fanatic jacket and the stratus bibs. I love both, I have been hunting in them for about 4 years now. No rips, tears, broken zippers. I bought the bibs on sale at gander for $120 and I got the jacket online for $300 I belive. U may also want to check out First light, they have real nice stuff, pricey also but it's stuff I've been looking at for a different cam pattern.
  5. Just had a doe and fawn move through, wife and kids are watching a 4 pt and a doe with a fawn from the warm kitchen.
  6. Saw 9 total this evening. A spike, a 4 two 8's, one was decent.the rest was does and 2 button bucks. Only shot I had was on a button buck. Hopefully tomorrow morning.
  7. Enchaladas Tacos Sloppy Joe Chili Burger Meat loaf
  8. I've been using my summit viper for almost 12 years, in fact almost every deer I've shot has been out of that stand. What I have learned, on cold rainy days stay away from real smooth trees with a hard bark. Slid down one only a couple feet and that was enough to switch trees. U will love climbing ash trees, soft bark and generally very straight with few limbs.when you get to your desired height step to the edge of the platform and bounce a little to sink the tree grabbers in. The foot rest makes a big difference with these stands. My brother in law has a summit without it and complains his legs start to fall asleep. Enjoy the stand I don't know if I'll ever change from mine.
  9. Isn't a 7mm-08 the short action .270 you are looking for? .0394×7=.2758. I am not a expert on bullets but that seems pretty much a ringer for your short action .270.
  10. What kind of habitat could one try to create to try and get some grouse around. When I was young I was my dad's bird dog, always having to push through thickets and recover his downed birds lol. I wish I saw more now a days.
  11. I would be very interested in it
  12. Beans are brown now, if u don't mind crushing the plants you could crawl, my beans are a little over knee high, I'd say u could crawl, then carefully get to your knees for the shot.
  13. Heard some high pitch grunt sounds, then 10 min. Later heard some antlers lightly hitting together.
  14. Nothing wrong with hunting the swamps, try the Alabama swamps too, a lot deer, and some real big bucks in there too.
  15. How about the "tree stand sleeper" my brother in law is natorious for dozing off and then getting caught when deer show up. I'm the guy that likes to b in his stand 1hr before it starts to get lite out...maybe that's why he ends up fallin asleep, we wake up too early so i can get in there.
  16. I feel treestands are the way to go. Especially for a newbie u can get away with a little more movement than if at eye level. Also be damn careful climbing old treestand u come across, especially old wooden home made types. I would never go in one.
  17. This is probably obvious to most but, is it the 15th us people in doe only areas can take a buck or is it the 16th? Thanks.
  18. Sat on the edge of my soy bean field at 6pm, saw 2 doe then walking back in kicked 7 more deer out of it. Plenty of deer here!
  19. I brought both my kids out for a squirrel hunt daughter was 3 son was 4, no squirrels to b seen, possibly due to all the moving and talking. But we had a great time walking around looking at deer tracks, found a couple turkey feathers. It's never to early to take them out. My father told me he took me out wrapped up in a back pack carrier before I was 1. Just enjoy them enjoying the simplest things they come across.
  20. Not tryin to ruffle feathers, but if ny wants to get youngsters in the woods why don't they just drop the minimum age? I get it for bow they need to be strong enough to have a bow set powerful enough to take a deer. But why not drop gun age with adult supervision ofcourse?
