    General note on property tours

    Can't speak for everyone, but I'd personally find even more value from property tours if it includes a topo along with the aerial. Topography just impacts things sooooooooooooooooooo much that I feel it'd greatly enhance their value. I'm likely going to begin a more generically specific thread...

    Photo eval plans

    Same copy/paste as what I just posted on QDMA. Sorry for cluttering up the forum with this post, but some of the photo evals I've done the past 2 years have come from you guys. So, this is the best way for me to reach any that may have slipped through the cracks. As most of you that have had...

    Merry Christmas

    Merry Christmas everyone. Thanks for all you do for me. Regardless of if you mean to or not, I couldn't do 10% of the stuff I do without your support. Thanks a ton for that and I wish you all the merriest Christmas (or whatever other holiday you celebrate) possible!

    Some vids you guys may find useful

    I promised I wouldn't stink up the forum with the web shows I'm doing, unless I believed they "may" help in some way. I was posting a link to the other forum to illustrate how a good share of bucks don't jump much from year to year and figured I should take the time to post the ones I think will...

    What Bush Hog to get?

    I just found out that Bush Hog will be sponsoring my soon to be released Hunt `em Big web show. The ad guy thinks he can hook me up with one. Obviously, I've used Bush Hogs in the past, but never looked at buying one. So, I was hoping you guys could make me look smart and tell me which one I...

    A Thanks to all you guys

    Hey guys. I know I've said a handful of times how much I appreciate you all directly/purposefully and indirectly/accidentally supporting my career. I've also mentioned that the learning sure isn't a one way street with me here. I've picked up a handful of new ideas, had my eyes opened to a bunch...

    Firminator ATV Model Review

    As several asked when I mentioned the Firminator a couple months back, here's my review. The reason for the delay is that I wanted to have a chance to really put it through its paces, before reporting on it, both in fairness to the product and to those reading this review. Just keep in mind that...

    best ATV seeder

    I need to buy an ATV seeder for a client. I've always used the same one, as it just works for me. However, when buying for a client, I'm far more concerned with getting the best for the money than when buying for myself. This would merely be for top seeding brassicas, oats and cereal rye into...

    What do you want to see?

    I was at the D&DH offices yesterday to help lay out D&DH TV for this fall. The top boss pulled me aside and asked me if I'd be willing to host a pure habitat and deer management show on one of the networks. IF I agree to do this and IF they follow through and do it (lots of things are "talked"...

    May NOT want to go to Mall of America

    Just saw the director of Home Land Security on Meet the Press. Apparently, they have reason to believe that there is one or multiple sleeper cells in the Twin Cities area and that Mall of America is a likely target. He wouldn't come out and say people shouldn't go there, but did say that they...

    Miscanthus Giaganteus Idea/?s

    So, here's the situation. I have a road that goes by a large, open field on one of the properties I manage. Everyone and their brother watches/kicks deer off that field. At the same time, that viewing makes it extremely tempting to "go in after a good one" that may be feeding out in that field...

    Self Serving Junk

    So, I'm going to do something I've tried really hard not to do here. I have a new book I wrote for Deer & Deer Hunting that just came out. They named it Big Buck Secrets. I don't want to make this into an infomercial on it, but still wanted to let you know. So, I'll keep it brief. Before I...

    FYI

    Just giving a heads up that I'm not dead or blowing off those PMing me. This is the first chance I've had to log on in about a month and I'll be out of net access soon for about another month. Hope everyone is rolling bucks!

    Pls Remember

    This is going to come off as super cheesy, but I tend to forget how precious life and loved ones are. I know we should all appreciate every day we have with those we cherish and those days we get to spend doing the things that we truly enjoy. Still, life happens and it gets way too easy to take...

    Free Bowhunting World Magazine August issue online

    http://www.bowhuntingworld-digital.com/#&pageSet=0&contentItem=0 Figured I'd post it in case someone was interested. The only reason I even knew it was there is because their art director told me to check it out to see if I was happy with what he did with a drawing I'd included in one of my...

    Hunting Pressured Bucks

    Waiting for the wife to call to get her from work and don't want to start on something new. So, I'll start on this and see how far I get. Before I begin, I should qualify why I would have any possible insight on this topic. Most "experts" write a pressured bucks piece every year or so, but...

    Sample Plan

    Not sure where to put this, but figured this was as good a place as any, as it includes many of the things LC has written about and it is more a specialty thread. John, feel free to move it, if you feel there is a more appropriate location. Anyway, this is something I promised Art, in the...
