    Did You Know You Were So Cool?

    That's the question my 17 year old daughter jokingly asked me. Daughter: Did you know you were so cool? Me: Yes I did. But, why are you asking me that now? Daughter (laughing): All the Stanley stuff you have. We laughed and talked about the Stanley craze that is going on now. I, like...

    Progression of a Food Plot

    I take a lot of pictures of what we do on the property. As we start thinking of what needs to be done in 2024, I thought I'd share the progress of one of our food plots from 2013 thru the 2023 season. This thread will be picture heavy so please tolerate my crappy photography skills. The 2013...

    Cuttings vs Potted

    I stopped into a Menards Garden Center yesterday. They had ROD, Ninebark and some Willow in pots. I think they were all priced at $24.99. What are the pros / cons of using these over, say, the cuttings thru Big Rock Trees?

    Social Media

    I've never been a part of the social media crowd. No accounts of any kind. It's really never been something I've considered until now. Now I'm curious about Instagram but I don't know enough about it. My understanding is it's just for pictures? I always take a bunch of pictures of what we're...

    Is this switchgrass? I don't think it is but hoping I'm wrong.

    Shooting Does

    When do you shoot them and how many do you typically shoot in a year? Do you target younger does or older does? Will you shoot a doe with fawns? Reasons why? I realize the answers will vary greatly across the board but just curious to what others do and why they do it.

    Someone's not happy

    Looking at recent pics and came across this buck. We don't have any pics of this buck other than these. It wasn't until the second set of pics that I noticed the arrow sticking up in his back. Looking at the angle of the arrow it looks like an almost straight down shot and had to of just miss...

    Off Grid Generator

    We had the field engineer from local electric co-op out to the property today to see how feasible it was to get electrical to our property. He's not entirely sure they would put the lines in, and if they did, the cost is way more than we want to spend doing it. This wasn't a surprise to us but...

    Smokers

    Have been wanting one for a while and finally bought one this weekend. We made burgers for lunch and this boneless chuck roast for dinner. Very good!

    food plot too big?

    I'm having some excavating work done and wanted them to make a small, in the woods, food plot a little bigger. This area was select cut in 2015 and I put in this food plot in 2016. The food plot was never much to look at but we saw a fair amount of deer using it. It was probably more to do with...

    Shooting from the blind

    I don't hunt from a blind a whole lot as I like to be up in a treestand. I will hunt from one a couple times a year, especially if I'm hunting the late season. It's kind of a hassle to get everything set-up but the practice is worth it, especially for my wife, as we all know how much a...

    The scrape tree

    I put a camera on this scrape on Oct 16th. Here are a few of the pics I got this last week. I think there are 12 different bucks that visited the scrape from the 17th to the 22nd with a few bucks visiting multiple times during that timeframe. A lot are small bucks but also some decent ones. In...

    When are you taking vacation?

    As November inches closer I'm sure many of us are taking some time off to be in the woods, whether it's bowhunting, rifle hunting, or both. What days, or weeks, are you planning on being off? I'm planning on taking the first two weeks in November off. I'll adjust those days if we get some warm...

    My Nephew's Buck

    My nephew shot this buck yesterday during the WI youth hunt. Southern Juneau County. I have no doubt he has put this on multiple social media accounts but I did not get his permission so I have covered his face so I apologize for that.
