I recently started another form of hunting. Metal detecting is something I have wanted to do but just recently bought one and started. My church was started in about 1915. I've been told that when it started people would ride horses and wagons to church. I've also heard that the property was...
I decided to do wait a little longer to start my baits this year. It's about a three hour drive one way to my baits so instead of starting 3-4 weeks before the season, I started baiting about 18 days before the season. There is a lot of work in bear baits. Last year I accomplished a goal of...
No wonder I'm getting old so fast!
I'm assuming you understand that to mean 2 seasons apart. One calendar year but two deer seasons. The 2022 season and the 2023 season that started today here.
I can't speak for everyone but for me it's about letting the buck reach it's full potential in regards to antler size. If I kill a 3 year old buck with a nice rack obviously that deer will never grow to what he could have. I like big racks on deer period and in my case I hunt on private land so...
Looks like a lot of fun. Even funnier sitting here in my easy chair looking at your pics.
Congrats on your adventures and the health you have to be able to do it.

No pics from previous years. That was the first you to hunt the property. When I first got access to the property I did a little scouting and found a match set of his sheds from the year before. Sheds were 35 yards apart and about 100 yards from where I killed him. He grew 25" in one year. Gross...
Any of you experts care to guess this bucks age based on his body? No need guessing his score. I killed this deer in early December 2011 in northeast Oklahoma and have always wondered how old he was. Back then I didn't care as much about age as I do now. Didn't save the teeth.
Yes that's a corn...
Sorry if someone already posted something about this, I didn't see anything. Just taking a moment to remember this sad day that affected us all. 😢 God Bless America.
