I would guess a combination of coyotes, bobcats, and house dogs. But mostly coyotes and bobcats - fawn recruitment is low even in areas a long ways from folks houses

Do you freeze your dehydrated apple slices?

I read where some folks say predators typically do not eat ehd infected deer. I wonder if that is the case with cwd killed deer. I think I did hear in the AR cwd podcast that the researchers did see scavenged cwd deer. I have owned my property for almost 25 years and found two dead deer that we...

Yes - fawn recruitment and excessive doe harvest next to my land - my opinion of course - results in a high local harvest. I was just curious - how many deer do you take off your land and the density remains that high? I also realize your winters are different than ours - and you may well...

100% my opinion. I in no way believe anyone in intentionally killed all the deer in that area. What I do believe is different about AR - that I never hear anyone mention - is the extremely low fawn recruitment rates in this state. Fawn recruitment in the Ozarks - NW AR - averages about .4...

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?

I do that and often times something has eaten it out of the trap

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...

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...

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...

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.

Supposedly, most nesting - sitting on the nest starts mid may in MO. You need to get a good possum dog!😎

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...

I’ll be damned - me too. Just finished my worlds billfish slam of all nine species in 2024👍

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...

Put up my fish feeder today - i guess that is baiting😎

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

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.
