    Good stuff

    Without knowing the particulars, it is possible that the guy ran out of arrows and didn't want to see the deer suffer. However, I would just have owned up to it, paid the fine, and hit the archery range for some obviously needed practice. I know I've sat on the side of the road and watched a...

    243 or 308 "reduced recoil" for youth

    Borrow (if possible) before you buy. If I were in your shoes I'd try to find a buddy or two that might let me borrow a 308 or 243 or 7-08 or 270 or, or or and have my son try them all starting from smallest to largest. Let him tell you what he can handle. Good Luck!!

    Deer hunting around Finley, Cooperstown

    No worries fly2cast and it's not a touchy subject for me. It's just kind of an unwritten rule among hunters. Good fishing spots change daily, but good hunting spots are precious gems and internet shout outs on areas tend to be unpopular. I think the same thing every time I read about ND in a...

    Deer hunting around Finley, Cooperstown

    OK. I'll try to help. First of all, it's a fairly large fopah to dime out a hunting area as being "Open" on the internet. Especially for deer as deer are the main reason posted signs go up. I'm pretty sure I'd be less than pleased to read that the area where I own land or my hunting area...

    ND Turtle Mountain Elk

    Chris Cantler of Aber Taxidermy did mine. He's been my taxidermist for 25 years and I highly recommend his work, though you will wait to get your trophy back as he is in demand. Great Bull and Congratulations Again!!

    Pointers

    ;:;popcorn This debate has been going on since flusher and pointer breeds originated. In my experience it ALL comes down to training and NOT the breed. I've hunted behind the most expensive, best equipped, longest trained, and most colorful barking paper weights ever to pollute the pheasant...

    Informal poll

    This topic comes up every year and every year I hear the same complaints about posted signs. Most guys aren't landowners and as such only think about this issue from their perspective instead of looking at the whole picture. Ask yourself, Why should a landowner care if hunters have a place to...

    Informal poll

    No Way!!! Nothing technical about a posted sign. I've had the same signs up for 12 years, does that make them less valid than new ones?? Do some homework and find the owner to ask permission. Think of it this way, There is always that last straw that breaks the camels back. In this case...

    Dog proof coon traps

    I used the cup thing once until I started seeing my cups blowing across the fields. I didn't think my landowners would appreciate me littering up their property so now I use golf balls, which work in a similar fashion. You just can't put your dp's at too steep an angle unless you pound a nail...

    A First Aid Kit. It's nice to have something to plug holes when the "STUPID" side of the brain makes a charge to the front of the line so to speak.

    Whats your thoughts fellow outdoorsmen ??

    I'm a 12 pack or so into it so take this with an entire block of salt. There are LOTS of places to fish, what makes this particular spot so golden you give a shrite what the rez peeps do?

    What works best??

    I've prefer Silence, Stealth, and Staying Downwind, but IF I do make noise, it's a series of soft grunts. That has brought more than one nice deer to the edge of cover to check. Crashing horns, pounding hooves, and loud grunts seem to spook everything but the very youngest deer that probably...

    Traversing Section lines

    Is there a problem with just asking the landowner to walk across their land??

    Quaint little Fort Ransom property for sale

    My small thoughts are this: If I had 4 million to burn, I wouldn't blow it all on 500 acres in ND to hunt white tailed deer that might score 180 at best in 10 years. Not enough land to keep the deer from roaming. For 20 K I can probably find and shoot white tails on some big private ranch in...
