All kinds of critters use mine. Big bobcat was there tonight.

I had I have a plastic tank and it froze but did not crack and it got below zero several nights in NE KS. I would expect to get a few years out of one which is good enough for me.

They definitely use the water holes in NE KS even if water is relatively close (several ponds within 1/4 mile and Kansas river within 3/4 mile). Lot of other critters use em too. Thought the coon looked like Humpty Dumpty sitting there on the edge of the tub.

Last trip around the Des Moines area. Bad year all around between KS and IA.

If you’re in N. Illinois, I would say only a day or two at this point. But every year is different- I found 35 pounds or so in the same spot last year and this year I’ll only take out 9-10. Some years will just be bad overall because of freezing or drought conditions leading up to and during the...

Found about 5 pounds today around Des Moines. They are about done in central Iowa. Southern Wisconsin and Minnesota should be prime starting this weekend. Good luck!

Found some after work around Des Moines, IA. Need a rain!

Found some today in KS. Going to be a rough year comparatively to previous years.

Heated butt pad is nice. Never realized how good it would feel on a 25-35 degree morning. https://www.tidewe.com/collections/hunting-seat/products/tidewe-heated-hunting-seat-cushion-with-battery-warm-insulated-seat-pads-for-tree-stand-ladder-stand

It truly is a lost art. Never had a mouthful of sandwich and tried pulling the trigger on any firearm.

Thanks Turkey Creek. I’m sure you or your kin will get a crack at a good one soon. Saturday looks like really good weather.

I didn’t get much of a crack at any ‘shooter’ bucks during archery (Xbow and all other archery platforms) in KS this year so I decided to dust off the ol’ rifle. I was fortunate to run into a good buck at noon today- opening rifle. I was sitting on my heated butt pad on the ground eating a...

Big boy was icing his balls on camera this morning.

I had a guy with a big track loader (CAT 963 size) clear a primitive road back into my place. While doing so, he sheared off some big limestone rocks. They were about as big as his loader bucket and probably 10-16” thick. He spent probably 3-4 hours digging out a little deeper in the actual...

Bobcats playing tag today…

A good year so far off my place! Small piece in NE KS.

I have had good luck frying them about 2/3 of the way done in a fryer, taking them out and putting on wax paper (they should be slightly less golden brown than they would normally be if they were cooked all the way). Then, slide them into a ziplock bag and get as much air out of it as you can...

Smacked em pretty good in the driftless region of Wisconsin.

Found 30 pounds today in NE KS. Couldn’t pick 5 pounds or so because they were too old. Things are starting to wind down for here. On to Iowa next week!
