It sounds as if you EARNED a good reputation. Good to hear there are a few decent landowners out there yet. Hope you have a great turkey season !

I rarely ever get a crack at a mature whitetail during gun season. I find most of my enjoyment during the 3 weeks leading up to gun season in the field with my bow. Last fall was not nearly as productive as years past. I hunted the first 12 days of November without seeing a single deer. My luck...

Gents, I would like to know the secret to uploading an avatar. Every time I try I get a message that says something about too many pixels. What am I doing wrong?

I had a similar experience to the one above. I shot a buck a couple of years ago and while butchering it found this broadhead high in the ribs just below the spine. The wound had to have been there for at least a year because there was no evidence of an injury on the outside of the hide. I...

Wondering how long all of you age your meat before butchering and freezing. Do you hang it with the hide on or off? What is your preferred method?. I just had some back straps off a small doe that was shot last week. It hung in my garage for 6 days @ 38° with the hide on. After butchering I...

Congratulations! Great shot! What was the cartridge and load?

Congratulations Keith! The weather sure wasn't helpful last weekend. Way to go!

That is in an area in the southern portion of the state. Their efforts have proven futile for over 10 years now. There are a lot of land owners that outwardly oppose the DNR's attempt to eradicate the entire herd.

Congrats! Job well done.

Gun season isn't here yet so I took my Mathews bow for a hunt on Sat. I wasn't in the stand long when I saw a buck coming my way. It was a main frame 8pt with a busted main beam just ahead of his G2. He crossed in front of my stand at 40 yds and I gave a couple of soft grunts to him. He...

Well I called the ranger office for the National Forrest that we will be hunting in 10 days. Naturally no one answered but there was a recorded message stating all forrest facilities were closed but the area was in fact still open to hunting and dispersed camping. That is all I needed to hear. I...

Many congratulations to the young man! I don't think his smile will ever were off after that hunt.

I've taken my oldest daughter hunting the last two years without any luck. This year she was able to participate in a Whitetails Unlimited sponsored youth hunt and was able to punch her first tag. I was unable to accompany her in the field but Mom was and the mentor that took them out was very...

Congratulations Joel. Always nice to put some fresh meat in the freezer. I'm glad you possessed the skills necessary to recover your deer. There is no worse feeling than being unable to locate downed game. I shot a deer in the front of her chest with my muzzle stuffer a couple of years ago with...

I really don't want to be charged with trespassing but how does a government by the people and for the people get away with telling the people they have no right to use something that was set aside specifically for the people's use. I really don't want to cancel a hunt because a politician says...

I stumbled across this thread and wondered if any members here have hunting plans that may be effected. http://forums.outdoorsdirectory.com/sho ... mt-reopens I will be heading west in a couple of weeks like many others unless this puts a stop to the area we have picked out. Very frustrated...

I am partial to my Garmin Rino 530. I see they have a newer bigger better model out now that I am unfamiliar with but it offers a few more whistles and bells than two I currently own. I love the NOAA radio function. I also like being able to see anyone else who I am hunting with that has a Rino...

I am using this combo for moose in a few days. Nosler brass Fed 215M primers 72g IMR 4350 225g AB I am getting about 2830 fps out of a stock Ruger Hawkeye 24" barrel.

Vince, I can send you some info on a drop hunt in Alaska. Two of my uncles and I are heading up near Delta Junction for the first 2 weeks of September for a moose hunt. We were not wild about using a guide either so we went with a drop hunt. Being flown in and dropped off for 10 days is more our...
