Mother-in-law paid for it, I never would have. It is kinda cool but definitely wouldn't consider the results as spot on.

Funny you say that. I only like to take 1 deer, 2 tops, per year and really enjoy the rifle hunt. Brings me back to my early days. In years when I take one during bow season the gun season can become boring. It's not uncommon for me to pass a deer multiple times during bow only to harvest it...

Well she is almost a year old and seems to have plateaued at a measley 46 lbs. DNA came back as quite the mutt, not sure I believe the results. She is very active and once going doesn't have an off switch! 24% Australian Cattle Dog 23% American Bulldog 11% American Pit Bull Terrier 11% Boxer 11%...

It's happening again. It seems the first 2 weeks of September are warm and dry nearly every year. Not great for those of us that topseed Labor Day weekend.

Currently sitting at +2500, not sure what it was before week 1.

Running that fine line between bad wind and ok wind is often times the recipe for success!

Congrats on shooting and recovering that buck! Shot looks low right all day to me. Smart that you gave him time.

Rye doesn't get harvested until late summer. Almost all the rye I buy in August was harvested/tested the year prior. I've never tested the actual germination rate but I always get a good stand. I do seed heavy as often times I'm top seeding and have a lot of turkeys around.

I often plant on Labor Day weekend and it seems the turkeys have me patterned for the free seed. They showed back up about a week ago after being pretty infrequent during the summer.

There is now a $75 rebate from Savage and you can get 10% off as a club member most Mondays at Bass Pro/ Cabela's. Best price is likely around black Friday but that's during our rifle season so inconvenient and too late for this year. I actually scored a 10% off on top of the sale so $379 was my...

The sale coincided with Amazon's prime days

Picked up a Savage 110 Trail Hunter Lite in 350 Legend a few weeks ago when it was $399 at Bass Pro / Cabela's for my son's first deer rifle. Shot it for the first time this weekend, it's a pretty fun and accurate shooter so far. Will sight it in at 100 yards in the coming weeks.

I got 3 over Saturday and Sunday nights. 2 on dog proofs with dog food and 1 on a blind trail set (a first for me).

My happy place is anywhere on the snowmobile trail in the winter. Only "quiet" time I get with nobody talking, calling, texting, emailing, etc. Time on the riding mower during the summer fills the gap.

They are plentiful in Central WI in the evening but I think the cool nights so far have been keeping them down otherwise.
