    Do you remember it being colder

    South AR is predicted to see 0 degree temps, with 1 to 2” ice and five inches of snow. That is at the very least a property damaging storm and at the worst - a killer. No power for a couple days and the waterlines freeze. Folks down here dont have basements - mostly pier and beam. I cant even...

    Two acre goldenrod field

    As Native said above, plant succession, while slow, will eventually win out. I have a twenty acre field that was solid goldenrod ten years ago. Now, about ten acres of it is transitioning to ash, boxelder, and persimmon while the rest is still mostly in goldenrod.

    I think if you dont get a little choked up, there is something wrong with you. I felt the same way at Pearl Harbor

    Noisy gates — do you care?

    I own two pieces of property. Where I live is a little over 300 acres and you can get a mile away from even a seldom used gravel road. I also own 62 acres that borders a busy US highway. I killed my biggest buck, by far, with my back touching the bottom of the highway fill. The deer a mile from...

    Most of you guys would freak when I put you in my very best spot, 30 yards off the edge of a busy US Highway😎

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

    That is pretty obvious when something like 50% of the harvest is 1 1/2 yr old bucks. It is fairly evident, by far the majority of hunters aint on Lakosky’s place.

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

    I live in a total two buck state however you want to kill them. I cant imagine how that is better for an older age structure. However, supposedly only about 20% of one buck killers take a second buck. If those 20% were not able to take that second buck, a lot of those bucks are still going to...

    CWD conversations that are worth the time to watch

    I think if anything new happens, it will be fall of 2026. It will be interesting to see if they reverse any of their relaxed cwd restrictions now implemented, and secondly, if they do, will it just be in the study area or encompass a larger area. I honestly dont have much faith in them doing...

    CWD conversations that are worth the time to watch

    In the podcast I watched on that study, if I remember correctly, the researchers recommended increasing the doe population by 24% each year. Hunting with relaxed harvest restrictions was allowed during the study so with cwd and hunters, it about wiped the deer out. I think they said the deer...

    Axis deer in the neighborhood

    There is a 1400 acre high fence area across the road from me. They had a size-able herd of axis escape. G&f wanted them dead. We complied. It was probably four years before we killed the last one. Several does gave birth while they were out. They are great eating and have a nice hide

    Raccoon trapping

    Last year, late May, I was already experiencing problems with primarily coons eating developing peaches out of the peach trees. The first few days of June, I trapped ten coons and shot three or four more around a feeder. I had a dozen traps out. After the initial catches, I cut that back to...

    Would that be representative of 7.5 year old bucks in your hunting area?

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

    Even though our “average” 5.5 year buck scores about 117”, every now and then a 160” buck is killed and a 174 1/2 NT was killed by a next door neighbor - the deer was sharing my property. I think it still stands as largest in the county. I have lived here for almost 50 years and never seen a...
