I'm just as much of a non-landowner as the next guy for certain species. I am blessed to own deer hunting land, not waterfowl or upland game land. I depend on the graciousness of other landowners for those activities. I read the posted sign and go from there. Mine say "without written...
I have three elevated 4 X 8 box blinds and they are too narrow for me to put in a chair and comfortably maneuver a bow at full draw so they are gun stands. If I were to build another one I would have at least 6 ft of width to accommodate a chair and other equipment (heater) or another person...
Sorry Boys, but no remote controlled, helicopter twirrly thingy is better than a pretty girl in "suggestive attire" when it comes to beer delivery. I'll take my beer delivery the old fashioned way Thanks! Otherwise, I'll bring my own.
Was watching a hunting show with some youngsters and a little girl said the best line I've heard in quite a while when she got her deer.
"38 dollars for a tag and a million dollars worth of fun!" How true!!! Made me grin just seeing her joy and enthusiasm.
Seeing dead wildlife makes me sad in the face. I don't even like seeing road kill. I'm going through 3-5gallon pails of corn a night and half a square hay bale every 2-3 days. Got about 20 deer coming to the yard so far. This crap weather has GOT to stop or it's curtains for the game...
NO!! This measure is NOT needed. This DAPL CRAP is a non issue. No trespass signs only need to be up on ONE place on the property for it to be enforced. All those protesters should have been arrested and charged. One small incident is NOT a reason to make sweeping legislation. That's the...
Easiest way I've used is to put a can of water right in front of the heater and let'er get good and warm. Then every so often go and pour some of that water in the hole. If you don't dump the warm water into the hole to fast and send it out the bottom, it takes quite a while for the water in...
Not a thing yet as I haven't set a single snare. I start on Jan 9th when pheasant season is over. The trails used by the yotes are the same trails my dog uses when we go after pheasants and I'd be sick if I got someone's dog. My snares are not designed to hold live coyotes if you get my...
Hit the cattle yards. EVERY living thing seems to be concentrated around the cattle yards. I suspect the coyotes will be within a half mile to a mile of those spots as well. That's where I'm going to concentrate my snaring efforts too. Good Luck!!
I'd have told them I want the head so I could get a shoulder mount and then cut the cheeks out myself. Awesome Fish!! What were the dimensions of that beast??
Not a big MMA fan or follow a who's who in the sport, but it might be a good idea for Ms. Rousey to pursue other avenues for her career OUTSIDE the octagon. The hype for a "Comeback" won't produce the fiscal windfall of this heavily promoted event again. I doubt many people will fork out...
Shot 68 Honkers this year with an unknown number of ducks. Saw a few hunters, heard more than I saw. Two problems with F'N SCONIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lots of birds, had a GREAT TIME!! Bought 9 dozen more full body honker deks, two new layout blinds, and will be raring to go next August. Like I...
I for one REALLY appreciate the plow drivers. We'd be S.O.L in a big way out here with the random 7 foot snow drifts that cross the roads. THANKS BOYS!!!! When I lived in Fargo, sidewalks were kind of a fetish for me. I actually enjoyed firing up the blower and going around the block...
Might be too late, but this is exactly what we did in our unit. Don't be afraid to knock on some doors and shake some hands. Lots of good folks out there that could use a hand with this issue right now. With all the snow out there, the turkeys are tearing the crap out of the oat bales the...
Well Tman, I guess the best way to go about it if you're going to try something is to find where there's a concentration of deer, get with the landowner, and work out a deal to buy feed. Keep in mind that once you start, you have to keep it up and expect the number of deer you are dealing with...
Caragana, Dogwood, Sumac, Willows, and the like provide strong enough cover to both stop snow AND provide browse. Though very little can stand up to these DAMNABLE ice storms!! GRRRR!!!! Dogwood grows pretty good on my place as does caragana. Have both of those already so that's why I going...
