    I was thinking about checking out ozonics as a cover this year in my stand

    Yeah you’d be surprised how many people still hunt; guys at my club say that 30 yrs ago, there’d be trucks lined up and down the road on opening day. Although it’s no longer like that, I saw a lot of guys in the woods first weekend, guys everywhere. As far as hunting being a dying sport, it is and it isn’t

    Found a spot off a trail with a lot of scrapes and a few rubs. Seemed the scrapes were kind of concentrated in a line parallel to the trail and rubs nearby too. My question is , should I setup right over this scrape line or just off of it? I see a lot of oaks in the area and beech and about 200 yards away, looked like an evergreen stand . Also, some old apple trees nearby maybe 30 yards from most of the scrapes but looked dead to me . What do you think? Thanks so much, Northcountryman

    Typical , more and more of this crap going on, liberalism run amok I’m afraid

    Hey Guys , so I understand pretty well ( I think) what prompts bucks to rub small trees and saplings , pretty much a means of marking territory and notifying other bucks ( and does) their presence , a signpost if you will . But what prompts them to scrape? Isn’t it pretty much for the same purpose? Why not just do all rubs or all scrapes then?

    I’m sure that the light of the moon has some impact upon normal feeding and bedding pattens but not sure if it a as much as given credit to. There’s also been research into the moons affect on behavior of animals , humans included causing erratic behavior ( “luna” tic for example) . This may be due to gravitational effects if you believe that sort of thing

    Nice thank you Sir

    I’m SO far behind schedule this year! Haven’t done any scouting to speak of, which do you think is better sign to hunt over if you had to Choose though, ruts or scrapes and why ? Thanks

    Unbelievable, I thought you were kidding at first , the nerve of some people

    Hey , so i know that some of this is my fault because I did t retrieve my cams right after the season and they were left out all winter ( and spring ) but on one of the cams the contraption that holds your card and pushes it out ( kind of like a spring) is broke ; why would inclement weather cause that? Also, the cards say that they’re full and stopped taking pics around December , about 4-5 months worth of pics, does that sound right ? Thanks

    All the time and I belong to a hunting club
  14. Northcountryman
    Yeah beautiful place, went there as a kid , would love to go back sometime
  15. Northcountryman
    I’m gonna go and move mine around this coming week, gotta replace the batteries and find some new spots deeper in , also put one up next to my close stand
  16. Northcountryman
    That Inreach Explorer thing sounds pretty good to me , will it work anywhere ?
  17. Northcountryman
    Not yet but I’m planning on goin out next week. I have to move a couple stands and trail cams and try to find at least one or two new spots for the fall

    This is a great thread , very informative , yeah that’s what I figured with the cotton balls and vaseline, do you know how effective it is? I think I would bring a bunch in a ziplock bag as a backup but maybe also bring one of those little fuel canisters as my primary fire starter
  19. Northcountryman
    I’m not that hard core but would like to get into some survival hikes and hunts requiring those skills: so what’s the vasaline and cotton balls for anyway?
  20. Northcountryman
    When you spend slot of time in the woods it’s bound to happen . I’ve been temporarily lost at most maybe a few hours but always have made it back . From those experiences , I’ve learned to become much more aware of my surroundings and pay attention to detail more effectively . Still not foolproof though. ALWAYS make a point to check your direction when. First entering the woods and plan which direction you need to get out . You’d be surprised at the guys that don’t do even that
  21. Northcountryman
    Awesome pic!!
  22. Northcountryman
    Shit that sucks , even if it’s been years , it’s a lot of work staying up a new one. Sorry that happened but part of hunting I guess
  23. Northcountryman
    Yup , I agree. It’s ok to be a liberal but it’s NOT ok to use your position as a public commentator to call for the harassment of someone engaged in a completely legal pastime just because you don’t agree with or support the pursuit of that pastime. I never liked this guy and I see that he hasn’t changed at all since he was fired by MSNBC. Shut up and do your sports commentating Keith and keep your politics to yourself!!
  24. Northcountryman
    Where can you get that winter rye?
  25. Northcountryman
    Why Fatboy , did it say somewhere on the thread it’s only legal in certain areas or situations that I missed? Thanks
