I’m likely burning a big slug of antelope points this year. If the opportunity to corner cross presents itself and is beneficial, I’m doing it, visible corner marker or not. Unless it’s blatant trespassing, a prosecutor would have to be nuts to expend the resources required to prove you didn’t...
I agree with this. I love hunting in the morning because of the gobbling, but I kill way more later on in the day. They seem much more receptive to calling.
I bought my first rifle 20 years ago while in college and haven’t bought another since. Tikka T3 in 270 WSM. I originally put on a Leupold VX3 2.5-8x. A few years back I switched to a VX6 2-12 CDS but I may go back to the original scope. I liked it more.
I’ve killed countless critters with it...
I bought a 410 two days ago solely for turkey hunting. After patterning it, I can assure you, it’s a very capable turkey gun, but only with the proper ammunition.
The reason turkey hunting is more fun than deer hunting is because you don’t have to hunt them like deer. I could shoot a turkey opening day every year by sitting under a couple big oaks, where they roost, in the afternoon. But, what fun would that be? My suggestion is to just spend a little...
I started a chapter of RMEF about 10 years ago with a few guys. We’ve raised a lot of money since then. I’d say in 2-3 years I’m bailing on it, though. Maybe before that. I’ll join a local Pheasants Forever chapter where the majority of the money stays local. I’m getting increasingly sick of the...
I wouldn’t use 110s on dry land. I’d use 120s. Lesson I learned the hard way.
I’ve tried all kinds of different boxes and baits for mink with zero luck. I think you’d have better luck with bottom edge sets in the creeks. Maybe some pocket sets if there aren’t too many coons to screw them up.
Wish I’d have had Covid when I tried to eat the bobcat I trapped this winter.
The only time I ever tested posted for it I had a mild fever one night and then severe stomach issues. No respiratory symptoms at all. Strange disease.
My family has more or less had a running illness of some sort...
I’ve done quite a bit of beach fishing a bit farther south. I’m definitely not an expert but I’ve learned a lot. I’ve never felt like I needed a surf rod. Most of the fish I catch are in the trough right next to shore.
Early morning and late evening, into the night, are when I catch 90% of my...
We did a state RIM easement through the CREP program, which I don’t think would be an option up where you are. I worked with the local SWCD to enroll the land.
