Re: Slow Season
I hope you get some decent weather for a late season hunt. Your weather is probably a lot like ours. December and January are mostly cold but we usually get a few nice days. The good part is the sun comes up later and you don't have to get up as early. Good luck!

I wish I'd gotten him with an Excal'
This year it's been difficult for me to get a legal deer (4 pts on one side or antlerless) into range of my crossbow. I could have killed several smaller bucks that I couldn't be sure were legal and the does seem pretty scarce. Firearms season opened last Saturday, and I shot a nice fat doe that mor...

Re: The Old Man of the Woods
Congrats on a true trophy! Way too much emphasis is put on a set of antlers in the hunting world today. All deer taken are special and should be treated with respect. Think of what a boring world it would be without the majestic whitetail to chase around! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: ! I agree 100...

Re: Muzzleloader bucks, still chasing #1
Thanks for the story and the pictures and congratulations to all! We too have a lot of deer without brow tines which makes our 4 points on one side minimum more difficult to identify. As you point out, the problem is also there for shooting antlerless deer. Spike bucks can look a lot like does. It's...

Re: Muzzleloader buck
Nice buck and great picture! Is that a bolt on the rifle? I've never owned a muzzleloader so I know very little about them but the words "bolt" and "muzzleloader" don't seem to go together. I'm perfectly OK with people using them, but it seems wrong to call a bolt action rifle (i...

Re: 340 Mag Crab claw buck harvest
That's a nice buck! Big deer and the antlers have some heft like older deer have. Enjoy your success!

Re: Lame year for harvests
Although I'm retired and have my own place to hunt, but I haven't been out much this year. The corn is still in our field and the woods has been so thick with vegetation visibility has been hard. I just got back from two weeks in Argentina and Brazil to find the woods more open but the corn still st...

Re: 2023 NW Oklahoma Fall Tom
That looks like Thanksgiving dinner! Is that an Eastern, Merriam's or Rio Grande? Beautiful bird whichever it is.

Re: Catfish heads
We used to only see eagles in the winter. The water above the locks and dams on the Mississippi would freeze and the turbines in the dams would stun fish coming out of the flowing water below the dams. (Mostly migratory) eagles would come down to feed on the stunned fish. Now we have eagles year rou...
