I don’t know what to believe anymore. I almost skipped going to the stand this afternoon cause the radar showed us on the fringes of a red cell and called for 2 hours of heavy rain. Thankfully I went anyways and turned out to be dry as a bone! I have a feeling we are in for cold, rainy weather...

Well, sit number 4 of the year and finally my first encounter. I’m thrilled. This guy was bedded about 70 yds away in the switchgrass and I had no idea! Never seen him before. He fed out into the bean/carbon load plot, then crossed the creek and circled up to head in the corn plot. Caught my...

Dang man! Thanks for sharing. Love the stories!

Man oh man! Keep the ideas coming!

Well that’s genius!! Thanks for the advice!

I think we could probably use a few less. Especially trying to get turkey and pheasant populations established. I know that’s ultimately dependent on great habitat. These stinkers are just taking advantage of me!

I try to think that way too. I just gotta get more cover going here. I feel like any little thing is boogering them from wanting to stay. Hopefully the switchgrass/successional growth and trees filling in will make things less open and add security.

Speaking of pups, I let my chickens out in to their run early one morning this summer, as they were flapping and cackling, a pup comes bolting out of the corn field running right at the coop. I was standing behind a tree taking a leak and waited for him to get close, then I jumped out and yelled...

It was fun! Never saw another but a hunt I’ll never forget. I wish she would’ve, that property I grew up on was loaded with yotes. I once saw 12 in the field one night running and howling away.

I’m sure you’re right! I will do my best to find one. Not many guys I know doing it around here anymore.

Thanks! I’ve set traps but never had any luck. I have shot a few over gut piles, but never had any luck calling them either. I’ve witnessed the opposite, true story: Was hunting the timber right after a big snow In January. It was frigid. As the sun came up, saw a coyote stalking in towards a...

Congratulations, beautiful bear! Awesome rifle, is it custom?

Well things have really slowed down deer-wise on my property. I know a lot has to do with surrounding crops being harvested but since that’s happened, I’ve had an immediate boost in coyote sightings. I’ve only hunted 3 times but seen one well before dusk and heard two well before dusk on another...

That’s a pretty buck! Hope your wishes come true!

I will get a longbow and start shooting wooden arrows before I buy into this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
