anyone out there have any old whitetail visions vhs tapes? really looking for the tips and techniques series, have october whitetail 1 and 2 already (they are reproducing them on dvd now) any one who hasen't seen them should see a real hunting video, not the entertainment they put on tv nowadays. please pm me i' am willing to pay for them and shipping..

was a good hatch last year, need this rain and cold to stop soon. last week on may june warm and dry and populations should rebound nicely... not looking forward to snow tommorow

no supose to be 1 season, at least thats how it is in pa. did it last year in fall here. then saw article on pa slam patch. kind of wish ny had one now.

did it last year, pennslyvania gives a patch for their slam buck, turkey,bear.

the tree is responding to shock, i assume you bought it bare root, or in a pot. phade is right take off the blossoms let it put energy into roots leaves. the tree is thinking its dying and want to reprodue before it does. if you let it put all its energy into fruit it might. its the whole purpose of pruning an older tree make it think is dying although its to big to do so and it makes more fruit!

when i built my house i had to have lawn in to occupy, after spending $ on house construction i only had some biologic clover plus seed left from previous year.. it became my lawn, i have a rule your not allowed to shoot anything on the lawn but it does make for some great wildlife viewing!

I just use whole cleaned oats from feed mill 10 a 50 lb bag (2 bushel) 2 bushel an acre to plant.

Whew, got my planting all done right before the rain ,(well OK I got wet on last 10 rows of corn) . All thats left now are some turnip fields for fall that are still to wet to turn now. 6 Acres of oats, alfalfa, clover and 5 acres of corn..

If there leafed out I would leave in pots till fall after leaf drop or plant in april next year.. they will take a big shock to being moved again after leaf out.

Gay marriage is legal now, see polygamy following soon...its the liberal way...

Congtats!

Absoutly! I even target hens in the fall on purpose. One less hen to compete with...

Oats, winter wheat, sorghum,corn, any grain would work

black knot will kill plumbs, peaches i'm not sure about its too cold by me to grow them.

Nice

Got all the plowing done and 3/4 of discing before work got in the way. Hope to be planted by next weekend. Still can't find Egyptian wheat to plant..ugh.

Thumbs up!

Look up old post here called "I just mounted my 1st gobbler" directions there...

Must be a mis print... 25 is high even for heavyshot

I don't dry them, spread them on a big piece of paper trace outline, pull feathers and clean with alcohol, glue em to fender washer and fan done 20 min ..no bugs, no mess, no salt,no trimmi ng, no time waiting to dry.

nice job! but don't you round up..200in at least....

I'd get on the powerline cut on the lower side of the map south i guess keep sun at your back so bird has to look into it may give you an advantage to move if need arises, listen for one to sound off and move to intercept. looks like 2 good blocks that they my roost in the top left of powerline by road and the lower right near field. id get out there in the dar betweenthe two mid way on map. listen and move if need be.

Always listen to the residents where they see birds , especially early am/late evening. On unscouted ground look at a topo if in hill country look for east and south facing slopes with benches on them, especially if the wind is out of the west / northwest. Gullies inside corners of field edges are also prime spots. in rainy weather the same locations with large pine/hemlock/spruce are prefered. high winds will push turkeys further down the hills 100-300 yards. Now to locate owl calls at sunset 100-300 yards from locations. or other locator calls can be used (silent dog whistles get them going good) if its a ridge line you can travel easily move down and back calling every 100 yards or so. don't just call pause and listen for a few moments sometimes you can here tehm fly up. i like to go with a second person staying 10-20 yards apart, a lot of time a bird will only gobble 1x or cut off your call and you cant hear it well yourself a second set of ears comes in handy. When u find a roost area it will be used again and again and again year after year.(makes scouting much easier the following year.) You may also just have a good point to listen from (i have a treestand on the edge of a drop off that lets me look and listen 1-2 miles up the valley) after some time i can pinpoint birds 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile to within a 100 yards or so usuing knowledge i have accuried hunting the same area for years. Keep in mind a bird lookinf away from you will sound further than it is a bird the repeatadly gobbles and turns on a limb while doing so is the easiest to locate. Get up and in the woods early, and with out a light get as close as you can, as the sun rises a gobble may tip you off to its finial location. i try to get myself between the hens and the gobbler(they usually roost in different trees within 50-100 yards of each other) i have even flushed hens out of the tree on purpose in the dark and when they are walking to the gobbler in the tree, so the gobble wonders where his harem has gone and comes to investigate. Again make mental note of where hens roost, as even if you don't hear a tom the next time you go out you can move on a hen roost and know that a silent gobbler is close by. When you find 3-5 of these roost areas you can move in and be on a bird before the guy standing out in a field at daylight hooting his head off as you know the birds use the same areas again and again, and have back up places to head if someone else is on your bird before you get there.

I have several extra tail fans you can have the feathers from them

120's according to buckscore I did on it. Its pretty common for people to overestimate, weight and score. I killed a real nice.8pt That goes mid 140's, half the people that saw it were saying boone and crocket.I'd tell them 140's tops and they would say no way... tape doesn't lie...but fun to see what people guess....
