You’re a special place with great folks

Ok it’s not that serious, but I think I’m going to go camera free all summer. Go back to doing some old school glassing to catch a glimpse of something. Maybe deploy all non cell cams early August and pull cards end of August and then turn cell on during season if at all. I think the...

Started getting this deer in about July last year on a new farm. Obviously missing his lower leg. Looked really poor. Saw him twice out of the stand and it was pitiful. I really wanted to put him out of his misery but with one buck tag I couldn’t do it. Tried to get a buddies son to take him but...

May be a dumb question, but now that I have a pto sprayer I’d like to spray in my cab tractor. So far I’ve just used my open one while I was learning the rig and I could reach back and flip the valve off and on from my seat. So how do you do that in a cab? Like most of us I don’t have uniform...

Ever manufactured. Basically rewired the thing to get it working yesterday only to have it spray initially just fine and then only dribble droplets after that. I used the boot tool to dislodge it from the back of the 4 wheeler combined with a crescent wrench and here she lies. Gallon of gly down...

Pulled 2 ticks off me Sunday, saw a snake yesterday and cut the grass. Only positive in that was I heard 3-4 turkeys fire off. Ticks are so annoying, anyone buy some of that supposed tick guard style clothing? I know sitka makes some but I’m going to spend $400 on their gear to do habitat work...

As researched by the MSU deer lab. Always fascinating stuff. It confirms what I’ve felt in that bucks don’t bed in a certain spot routinely. It’s just not supported by science. You see guys like Dan infalt and others claim to know right where a buck is bedding and you just need the right...

technology is not my cup of tea in the outdoors but a good buddy had been wanting to take the drone to my place so I was on board. I would definitely not use it anywhere close to season but I figured post season educational purposes was fine with me. That out of the way here’s what I saw- The...

It’s that time of year

“back in the day”? I have the conversation from time to time with buddies my age and we speak of our teens, 15-16, when we really were starting out hunting a lot. That would be mid 90’s. Couple of us hunted South Georgia. 5-6 counties north of Florida. And we swear it use to get very cold. We...

Were big on a challenge with their 620 acre high fence…. https://www.landwatch.com/trigg-county-kentucky-farms-and-ranches-for-sale/pid/418717866

It’s my understanding that deer has the same issue that cow does in regards to heart health. Per my doc buddy who consulted with his team of cardiologists, they all say eat deer/elk sparingly if at all (for the record they all avoid red meat). Reading the thread about last deer you killed, I see...

What say you… Embarrassingly I killed one doe on almost 700 acres. Such a mistake and I had almost all November and Dec to do so since I killed a buck on 11/3.

I remember watching this last year and was amazed at the numbers this guy was talking about. Moving 12-14 wild coveys per hour walked. He manages two well renowned south Georgia plantations. Very cool habitat work they do.

For the average landowner who is mainly fixated on deer? We may never return quail to anywhere close to historic levels but a couple coveys per property could be a major boom for the population. Personally I have about 3 acres around the house and pond that holds birds. I’m putting it in a...

Just curious, are you generally relying on a shooter from the current year to make it through the season for next year or relying on a 3.5-4.5 to make it through and put on enough inches to make the mark?

Closed on a new farm the other day and honestly hadnt messed with it outside of a quick walk or two. Haven’t hunted it or hung any cameras. Buddy and his boy came up this weekend and I said let’s go hunt the new farm and sit in the box stand. That was fun! Saw 6 bucks between Saturday pm and...

https://hackaday.com/2023/12/08/the-latest-john-deere-repair-lawsuit-now-has-the-go-ahead/ This populated on my news feed and it’s interesting to me. Not a challenge I face but one I can see the merits being against. I can’t wrap my head around purchasing something and basically not having the...

Rifle season kicked off this weekend with a bang…literally. I imagine this is what Gaza sounds like right now. Got me to thinking. We have undoubtedly been in some high cotton with regards to deer hunting. Numbers are sky high most places and quality has been outstanding where hunters can get...
