    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

    Yeah beautiful place, went there as a kid , would love to go back sometime
  10. 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

    That Inreach Explorer thing sounds pretty good to me , will it work anywhere ?
  12. 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
  14. 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?

    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

    Awesome pic!!
  17. 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
  18. 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!!

    Where can you get that winter rye?
  20. Northcountryman
    Why Fatboy , did it say somewhere on the thread it’s only legal in certain areas or situations that I missed? Thanks
  21. Northcountryman
    Actually I just did some research and I found an old thread from this forum from 2011 where the guys were saying it is perfectly legal to establish and hunt over a public land foodplot .
  22. Northcountryman
    Yes , that sounds right Storm, I guess best way to find out is do some research and make a phone call to the regional office
  23. Northcountryman
    Ok thanks, I wonder about the 300 model that you hang next to your stand? It’s supposed to block your scent and give you that edge; since ozone is denser than air , I imagine you hang it high and let it drift down to you , any one ever use that model?
  24. Northcountryman
    Ok that’s a good price compared to those ones you take out into the field. Might be worth it to try one out
  25. Northcountryman
    Love squirrel hunting just don’t have the time to do everything I love , maybe this season I can squeeze in a hunt or 2
