Yes that is part of the problem. The bear and coyote population has exploded in the last 20 years. They run bears with dogs there but a lot of times just let them go.

There's a meeting every year where they vote on new club rules. People have gotten no doe hunting passed but someone (usually a local) will just bring a bunch of people to change it the following year. You have to be present to vote which is stupid since only about 100 people attend them...

Most of the members are rifle hunters only. It's crowded but not near as bad in archery season. My dad and his friends have been going down there for almost 50 years now. They said back in the 90's they would drive deer when it was all "public" land. They said most people would stop counting...

My dad and I belong to a hunting club in WV. Approximately 20,000 acre lease and about 4000 members. We bait because it's all big woods. There are no crop fields or food plots allowed. No TSI other than the square miles of clear cuts the timber company did. If you tried to just hunt sign...

I'm an engineer and I do work for the DOT here. I don't understand that design at all. Unless it's they just didn't want to acquire right of way or they were diverting the stream in a certain direction. What's on the other side of the retaining wall?

I've had some deer freak out when they see them and others completely ignore them. I have one screwed into the side of my camp. One thing I've noticed is they really seem to notice it at night but I think it's the flash showing up against the building. Putting them up higher than usual even 5...

LOL I'm usually sitting at my desk at work when I get a pic of a nice one walking by my stand which leads to a lot of swearing.

Yes, some of these orders make my back hurt just reading them. haha

Oof taking a beating these last few days and down 5% more just today.

Not sure yet. I just planted them last year so I caged them. Deer supposedly love it but I couldn't tell you anything yet. I think I bought 10 and only 2 or 3 survived through the fall. We'll see what survives the winter too.

Like to find some more strawberry bush and hazelnuts. I planted some last year and didn't have much survival. The hazelnuts did slightly better. Might've lost a few crabapples but need to wait to see because I don't have anymore room to plant much treewise.

Haha I still yell at my dad for not buying his neighbors property 25 years ago. A house and 100+ all wooded acres for $150K. And another piece on the backside that was 100+ acres that sold for something like $72K back in the 90's

Me too, patiently waiting. It's lithium in America. Has to go up.

Sold half my UMAC at 140%. It immediately dropped so I timed that pretty well. Been following NUAI for a bit. Saw they teamed with someone and their stock was quickly rising so I bought some hoping to make a quick profit. Put a trailing stop loss on it. It dropped significantly after hours...

Didn't he just say everyone should be buying stocks right now.
