Sheesh. You have a bigger problem than I do. I killed a few buckthorn with loppers and a cut-stump treatment, but I've never had them come back in force. You might have to spray several times in order to exhaust them. That's how I treat dock. I can kill the leaves back, but the roots seem...

Maybe try basal bark treatment if foliar doesn't work well.

Care to share your secrets?

I know I can't eliminate all my scent, but I reduce it as much as possible. A lot of the new enzyme-based cleaners are amazing. I just used a "no rinse" hair and body wash on my moose hunt in Sweden, and it amazed me how effective it was at removing odor without detergents and perfumes. All...

Hey thanks. I'm going blind in Sycamore, so I might have to spend a day scouting. The private land I've hunted for decades, but 99% was after the rut. I took two crossbow bucks there during rut, but they are not trophy-class. The estrus is just to position a buck, not to draw it in. I was...

They're around. I also have about 300 acres in Ontario, but that will probably be part of a land tour thread next year. Internet agrees, that's why I chose those dates. I will do my best with the wind. It's a hilly area, but I get a meat deer every year I try there with rifle. Thanks...

That's an interesting point. Snares are illegal in Ontario and dangerous to pets in Ohio, but the most successful trappers I've seen on YouTube dump a large animal carcass and put snares on the trails. Seems very effective, but I haven't tried

Weird. Google AI gives me different answers based on how I ask. I can't find anything concrete that prohibits electronic calls for deer in Ohio. But I'm having trouble accessing the state websites from overseas.

I've made half-hearted attempts before, but this will be my first proper attempt at a trophy buck. I'll be hunting in Ohio with my new-to-me crossbow. Excalibur crossbow, Megameat broadheads. I can hunt about 100 acres of private land in Holmes county. I was thinking November 4-9 for this...

It's one of the cheapest hobbies I ever started. Traps are under $20 each, easily. Lures last a long time. I made myself a sift and got the rest of my tools from Harbor Freight. The barrier for entry for me was knowledge and skill.

I'd love to try some. I have a few places in Ohio and Ontario that are devoid of white oaks.

Couple be poor internet or some kind of glitch in an app. If it doesn't get better once you are certain you have a good internet connection, try restarting your phone.

Great bull! Mine are a lot smaller, and I'm still very happy with them. That rack will look great on the wall and be a frequent reminder of a fantastic trip together.

I'm not advocating for arson. I've just had enough shitty neighbors that sometimes I dream about them losing their home and moving away permanently. His neighbors sound like all-around scumbags.

I'll take some. How many lbs is a gallon bag?
