My 2025 Buck. Saw him walk out in the woods behind my cabin. Grunted a few times and he kept looking. He started walking back up behind the cabin and I snort wheezed and grunted a couple more times. I saw a flash of antler and sure enough here he came on a string. I thought he was going to...

Going to put the full story and pics in my land tour for my record. Not live but had some luck on Saturday. Grunted him in to 15 yards. Thought he was going to come right to the base of my tree but he veered at the last second to give me a nice broadside shot.

Now that we're well into the season, this plot and my water tubs are the most consistent draw on my property. I overseeded this with rye and wheat but not much of it grew. It was last years seed, but it grew in my main plot. Not sure if the clover was too thick for it to grow or what.

Ah I gotcha. Ya I've often thought about cutting the seats off and putting a more comfortable seat in it's place. The driving cushions are stiffer and hold their shape better instead of conforming to the seat shape after awhile like your typical hunting cushion. We called them hot seats...

Get one of these driving cushions to sit on. Makes a world of difference...

Now I differ on that. I enjoy camera card pulls immensely . Just seeing what I could potentially see when I'm hunting. Plus last year I got pics of a bear, a bobcat, and a fisher, I'd have never known any of them were there just based off physically seeing them.

I know right? I have my sights set on a 110" 7 pt. or a probably 80" 4 pt.

That's made a huge difference in PA too. We have the dirt to grow giants just also a lot of hunters that want to shoot a buck and pass a doe.

I've seen some early on chasing this week. Not full blown but rooting them around for sure! Just the young ones for now.

One of the "traders" I see stuff from online was touting them but I don't get it. That's a wild day though. Up 112% to down 14% in a day.

Oof taking a beating these last few days

Yes I do the same. You can make it private too if you don't want anyone stumbling on to it. With your buck and situation you could probably have one hell of a youtube following if you wanted @Baker

A friend of my parents is a commercial real estate agent and said he's been buying farms along I83 south of Harrisburg, PA for upwards $10 mil for 100 acres. Guessing data centers in preparation for three mile island coming back to life.

I cut a 50 gal plastic drum in half and put it out. I've been pleasantly surprised by the amount of deer that go to it.

I'd be interested but how long will reimbursement take? Not sure how long I can float a payment to a contractor if it were a big number.
