Last couple of days i have seen few bucks wandering and eating. The bucks I seen while hunting didn't have any does. My dad said he seen a buck chasing a doe Saturday morning. I think for the most part the rut is over.

Walked into a new spot the other day had seen some tracks in and out of there. Was looking at a big old pine I would like to put a stand in. Turned to walk to the next pine when I caught some movement. A big ten got up looked a round and ran about 20 yards. Try to doe bleat him back but he just walk...

There is a nice little rack buck in the area I hunt. Early in the season I called him and a much bigger buck out. I was waiting for the big guy to get into range and out of the quartering to position. That little guy knew something was wrong and split taking that big guy with him. My first encounter...

There was a real nice buck were I live and hunt. Was seen for at least 4 years. The last time I seen him he was a 12 point with drop tines. A few days later they found him in a local quarry (filled with water cottages on it) They think he was fighting with another deer and end up in the water he dro...

A few questions:

What if anything do you use to remove scent from your crossbow. I was once told to use peroxide. What do you use to remove wax from the rail.

Good luck, be safe and shoot straight.

A lot of you are using apples I would like to use them myself. Where are you getting them from. Are you getting seconds from some where? I can see my self going in no-frills and buying 10 bags lol.

Started snowing here about 2:30. wind is starting to pick up. Wish I could get out there now.

In for some cold temps and a general snow fall tonight into tomorrow. I am going out tomorrow night hope the deer are up on the move for food. Have a stand over a small food plot close to good bedding area that I have not hunted since the early season think I might go there. The comfort of the groun...

hey Ninepointer I see your from Niagara. What feed store do you go to. I am from Ridgeway. I usually give John's general store here in Ridgeway my money. Let us know how the Beef ration work for you.

My little one is only 3. it will be a few years before she is ready.

I haven't priced corn here yet but I though it would be at least double. I have a light activated feeder as well.I think I am going to build one I seen in Ontario out of doors. page 18. With a few modifications to hold more corn.

I build a plywood blind this year and have been seeing lots of deer from it. I want to get a heater for in it.

I would like to know how many of you have heaters and what type do you use and if you have had any problems with them. Do they spook deer?

As it gets cold the deer need to eat more to stay warm. A few years back I was seeing more bucks in the last part of December over food then any other part of the year. Eat good dress warm and don't sweat on your way in. Get out there and you will get a deer. Hunting is like fishing your not going t...

I am dying to go out. We had a good dusting of snow here with more on the way. I am loosing my job so the wife had to go out and get a job to help make ends meet. So i am home with the kids. So grateful she got the job, takes some pressure off of me. that being said it is cutting to hunting time.LOL...

Lost animal are a fact of hunting. We can pretend that it doesn't happen but it does. I my self have not lost a deer but I have had 2 friends that have. Weather you hunt with a bow or a gun it can and will happen. The news as of late of hunter being shot by other hunters is a hard pill to swallow fo...
