This is the first deer I've ever seen on my property in PA that looks sick like this - what's the possibility of it being CWD/EHD? Anyone ever have just a lone sick deer and have it not affect the herd? The area I'm in is pretty far from any confirmed CWD cases but seeing this worries me

What's been everyone's experience doing prescribed fire in areas with mature maple, black cherry, aspen, beech, hemlock, and yellow/black birch?

I feel like we always hear about deer hunting strategy: hunt downwind of bedding areas, pinch points, etc etc etc, but we don't often talk about turkey strategy. I've only been able to kill two birds: one by dumb luck in Texas and the other calling in a mid-afternoon Tom that was so fired up...

Does anyone have any hunting/conservation books they recommend? I'm finishing up Aldo Leopold's A Sand County Almanac and it has been one of my favorite books I've read, even if I only get to read it on the subway in manhattan :/ It has made me look at a lot of outdoor aspects in a different...

Hi all, I want to put up an electric food plot fence this year since I have such high deer density-Even my 2 acre clover plot was mowed to the ground-But I'm in Pennsylvania and have a good amount of bears traveling through my property every year I'm going to avoid planting corn because I know...

This year my Dad and I were lucky enough to get an outfitter tag from our friend up in Jackman Maine, We went up the first season and got this bull on the second day calling him into 30 yards He was 51.5" across and weighed 796 pounds field dressed-filled the freezer for sure Country was...

1 Pear and 1 Apple tree are eaten like this - all but the stem of the leaves. I have japanese beetles which make the leaves look like "lace" but not like this. Only these 2 trees out of 90 are like this (Too high for deer to get)

I have two of these bushes on a field edge on my property in Pennsylvania - Bush honeysuckle? Want to confirm before I kill it
