*disclaimer* I’m no expert (hence the username) I’d take the last few posts and boil them down into 1 gameplan. Take the dark soil you already have and splash it over the road (supplement with some purchased soil or help from the contractor if needed). Buy a couple round bales or straw to...

A short story of a brave little pine tree. Gone but not forgotten 🥹 Edit: not sure why but the photo quality was much better on my phone than when I uploaded here haha

Hunting here has been SLOW. Apparently the neighbor doesn’t like hunting & he’s been putting out bagged feed since the start of the season. I had 20 doe on the food plot last evening and 0 buck. At the same time, my wife came down the road & 6 buck in the neighbors yard stuffing themselves with...

Those deer are absolute beauties! And would tempt anyone who enjoys the thrill of a hunt and successful harvest. BUT, I’m responding to this post for a reason. This is the best post I’ve read on this forum. It’s something that has been on my mind as well. Here is a text exchange between myself...

Take it with a grain of salt. It’s just an anecdote from someone who’s certainly not an expert. It is a theory that seems to be holding water in my area lately though. I’m running a few cams on another piece of land I’ve been exploring over the past season. Last time I had him on cam was Aug 11...

I'll second what Brian said. I had the same exact experience the last couple years. Had some nice deer throughout the summer, but once late August hit, velvet came off and acorns started dropping they all but disappeared. I didn't get a single photo of most of those deer for a solid 2months. In...

Good luck! I hope you get to tag him this year

Weather is about right and have had some deer on their feet throughout the day. Nothing too exciting walking by yet.

Mine sight them about this time of the year too using live deer to verify accuracy

Awesome video and congrats to the whole hunting team! That video will be so fun to look back on over the years to revisit that memory for everyone! As an aside, I think I'm gonna need one of those apple guns at my house. 🤣

I think my comment came off a little more crass than I intended. No disrespect intended, my apologies. Good luck out there buddy.

Cool clear and calm morning here in PA with some weather coming in tomorrow. Not seeing a whole lot moving yet though. Should be any time now.

Everyone’s circumstances are different. Let them hunt the way they want to hunt.

Wow!! Hard working paying of big time!! I hope you get to tag one but getting them there is an achievement in and of itself. Good luck buddy!

That’s why I’m always on my best behavior! (She always responds with an eye roll when I say that). I will say I’m thrilled for her to bag nice buck in consecutive years. However, even better than the harvests, she’s really buying into some of the habitat work & has been asking about what we are...
