    CWD conversations that are worth the time to watch

    So the regulations allow you to kill one on a regular license on your property and allow you to purchase two more tags for a total of three deer. No one else can hunt your property?

    Baiting, I know this has been discussed and discussed this is just my rant....LOL

    I believe there are a lot more problems than making it too easy. When I firsts started hunting, it was in Minnesota. There was a one weekend deer season in southern mn. It didnt matter. We were pheasant hunting, duck hunting, squirrel hunting, and rabbit hunting. Now, in AR. We have no...

    CWD conversations that are worth the time to watch

    The AR CWD research podcast has been posted here somewhere. The head researcher actually recommended that the state needed to INCREASE the doe population in the study area. They had left hunting restrictions as is when the five year study started - just to see what effect hunting was having...

    CWD conversations that are worth the time to watch

    I dont, but know a guy who lives in NW AR where cwd was first detected. He said their hunting used to be great but now cant hardly see a deer. The five year research effort in that area confirmed his anecdotal evidence - the study area saw deer density as low as one deer per square mile. That...

    I have five grand daughters, four of them hunting. Both their dads are serious hunters and brought up before bait and big deer. All my grand daughters are extremely busy with all sorts of school related activities. This stuff is year round now - much more intensive than when my kids grew up...

    Raccoon trapping

    My Mt Cur treed a lot of them - like said above, low in a tree. He caught and killed just as many on the ground.

    Are the glory days of deer hunting coming to a close?

    When hunting dangerous game, a so called “game scout” from the game and parks commission will accompany every step. Supposedly, to insure there are no infractions concerning the taking of game. However, he carries an AK47 - and Zimbabwe does have a “shoot to kill” law in effect now for poachers...

    Are the glory days of deer hunting coming to a close?

    Watching the trackers work was the most amazing thing I have ever seen related to hunting. Us US hunters are at the bottom of the skill level compared to African trackers. If a hunting safari is in your future, I would suggest you go somewhere besides South Africa to experience a more classic...

    What does everyone have for rotary cutter/mowers (Bush Hog)?

    In addition to my frontier 84 and 60” models, I bought a new 60” Howse in 2007. It doesnt look like much - but still going strong with nothing but blade changes

    Are the glory days of deer hunting coming to a close?

    Wish I would have known you were going. Could have looked up some professional hunter buddies of mine from Zimbabwe. They usually stay at my place between DSC and SCI - but since DSC is now in Atlanta - I was too far out of the way.

    Baiting, I know this has been discussed and discussed this is just my rant....LOL

    I did a little research to answer my own questions. Michigan does have a problem. Hunter numbers have declined by over 33%. Deer numbers are increasing. 58,000 deer car collisions. 1700 people injured. Many folks on this forum forget that dept of natural resources have the responsibility to...

    Baiting, I know this has been discussed and discussed this is just my rant....LOL

    Michigan total deer harvest has fallen from 300,000 to 220,000 over the past five years. Anyone have a clue the reason for this. Are there that much fewer hunters where they arent killing as many deer, fewer deer - or a combination of both? Something else I have noticed among my era of hunters...

    Raccoon trapping

    We ha year round predator trapping on private land with a free permit. One of the best things our g&f did - for those who wanted to do it. I called them, went to their headquarters, and generally tried to worry them to death - cant say that it was because of me - but they finally did it. We can...

    Trailcam pics

    I was once trying to figure out exactly where most of the bucks were coming into a food plot - different where the does came in. I put four cameras - one each on each quarter of a two acre food plot. It was pretty eye opening the difference in pics. One mature buck was only in 1/4 quarter of the...
