Don't know about north of the border, but here in Ohio they are laying low during daylight hours. The full moon has made the evenings without cloud cover bright as can be. In addition, the Ohio gun season is now in full swing and the pressure is putting the mature bucks to the mattresses as Don Corl...

Don't worry about the colonoscopy!! It's NOT the procedure thats tough it's the dang prep.. Planter has it spot on WW. The procedure is nothing. It is all that "quality time" on the throne leading up to it that sucks. Going back for the education is just outstanding. You are to be commend...

I think all Excaliburs are great and the reasons for choosing one over another are wide and varied, and all very personal. I have an old carved tip exocet 165 and just love it to death, it was my first Excalibur. It has killed a lot of bucks. I then upgraded and bought a Phoenix from another forum m...

Most of my experiences with wildlife officers have been good. The best I have run into have been in Texas and Ohio. The Ohio guys are really good and have booths at most wildlife shows and make themselves readily available to answer questions and promote the sport. The officers in Kansas are also ve...

Thanks wheelie, the explanation and the link really help. I am saving the link. Now when one of you guys throws out a wildlife management unit I can look it up and see where you are talking about. :D

Educate us Yankee's

I do not have a clue when you guys from north of the border talk about hunting in areas like wmu89A and so forth.

Would you be so kind as to educate your poor brethren south of the border and explain how this works so we can better understand your posts.

I keep thinking of ways to scale down and cut back on the gear I carry hunting. Like both wabi and grizz, I also go lighter and lighter every year. However, I would like my stocking stuffed with a Leica ER 3,5-14x42 scope to top off my Sako. It is the Forester .243 Varminter with the heavy barrel o...

Will you keep the palmated buck's actual skull, or use one of these? :?: What are those replacement skulls made of? The palmated buck is being cleaned by the bugs as I write this, it will be the actual skull grizz. These replacement skulls are made of a dense plastic and I have to admit they really...

European Mounts - My first efforts

I decided to play with some European mounts prior to having the palmated buck done in this fashion. I had a couple of smaller racks on boards so I took them off and used a kit from mountain mikes http://masterofskulls.com/ to see what they would look like. I have to say, I think I am going to like t...
