Beauties - all 3!! Congrats gentlemen! That's a great season. The odd, freaky one looks like one of those old-time pics from 70 or 80 years ago that some old-timer shot back in the days of yore. Gonna be a great wall mount.

Blood from maybe being gored by another buck?? Saw it on a buck here once ..... and it was in the hind quarter as well. Maybe a final gouge by the more dominant buck as he tried to run off?? The buck I referred to got shot & killed, but the meat was all infected - no good. Several adjoining...

I missed something. Wishing the best for your Dad. As for your trail situation ..... if it were my trail, and wanted something else to grow in combination to grass, I'd throw down a bunch of Dutch white clover. Lawns prove it grows well along with grass, doesn't need mowing really, and the deer...

Just saw this J-bird. So sorry for your loss. sending prayers for your whole family, and that she's resting in peace with God.

Don't give up on those trees!!!!! I pruned off similar damage on a few of our apple trees, and they bounced back with new growth the following spring. Our trees are still growing fine - just a bit different in shape. Your root systems are established - so they'll fuel the new growth next year...

He is FAT!!! 👀 😲

I hope you're back on your feet again soon as well, FLFar. Stinks being down - no matter the reason.

Our deer don't panic when bears show up. They just move away from them to other spots on food plots. Deer don't cozy-up close to bears, but they tolerate their presence. If a bear wanders into spots deer normally enter our plots when deer are approaching, the deer will just enter somewhere else...

Nice buck, fingers! Whole acorns - buck must have been hungry.

My wife and I tag-teamed yesterday to make about 8 gallons of smoked-ham & bean soup. Carrots, onions & celery in it too. Slow-simmered the double-smoked half-ham in a big pot for about 7 hours to make the broth. Cut up the ham into 3/4" chunks. (6) #10 cans of Great Northern beans, some hit...

In the context of market scenarios / futures, I submit the following .... Musk just issued a statement saying in the next 1 to 5 years, 19 million white collar jobs will be eliminated due to AI. Engineers, accountants, systems analysists, code writers, estimators, auditors, - pretty much...

Yes, you can. Grafting is the way to achieve it. Grafting isn't as hard as you might think it is. There are plenty of online videos that show how. You could even ask a local orchard or college to show / help you to save an heirloom tree like that. The time to cut scion from an existing tree is...

Totally agree, Bill. Time spent in the stand.

With all that open area, a tree line ought to be a good place to be set up. Good luck, Cool Hand!!

Been off this thread a while - catching up. To your point, Buck, here in Pa. we have lots of open hardwoods. In archery season, I've seen nice bucks chasing does or cruising, nose to the ground, in open hardwoods. Almost was run over several times by frenzied chasing over the years. But when...
