      Morels

      Found a dozen small grays in Bartholomew County this weekend in my yard. The weather went south before I could plan a trip to the woods.

      Anyone else see bucks following doe around?

      This morning I spotted 4 does with a buck following, practically grouped with them, and another buck following them at a distance.

      Update to DNR legal deer hunting equipment 10.11.2017

      This is one step foward and 10 steps back. PCRs have been legal nearing a decade. I would have planned my gun season in another state if I would have known this sooner.

      Baiting deer?

      If those bird feeders are in your yard I would say no. If they are in the woods on a deer path that crosses your treestand I would be cautious about it.

      Decisions, Decisions...what to use this deer season.

      I will still use my .450 Bushmaster but if the conditions are right I would like to use my 7mm-08.

      Baiting deer?

      To be safe and sportmanlike remove them no matter the location at least a month before you plan on hunting. Another person could stumble upon one and not know or care where you set up and people like to talk.

      Brown Co State Park Draw Hunt Experience

      This sums it up well enough. From past experiences I have had aweful times on park hunts when I showed up in the dark without scouting and no topographic maps in my pack. Fast forward some years later and I enjoy the park hunts, Brown County and Versailles the most. I NEVER take a treestand on...

      What knife do you prefer for field dressing a deer?

      A Buck 110 folding hunter is my main knife for field dressing and skinning/quartering whitetails.

      This weekend's big temp drop... what's your plan?

      How big is the woods your hunting in? Still hunting is a good strategy during weather like your predicting. As far as your 2 scenarios I have had luck sitting on the edges of cut fields during bad weather. Sometimes the deer will come out in the fields earlier because they have spent more time...

      Riot on your street?

      I am too far out in the country but still prepared. The way I see it is the rioters would have already looted their fill and returned home because they got hungry. Farming would be too much work for the kind of people who expect a lot and throw tantrums when they don't get their way. But in...

      Best public ground deer gun

      The best public ground deer gun is kind of a hard one to answer. It matters what works best for you and your hunting situation. I will take it you don't reload and will buy store bought ammo, it will determine my recommended choices. If I had to pick a slug gun it would be a Savage 220. A PCR...

      Rifle now legal for deer hunting in Indiana

      I know right. They should allow those two under a non-HPR classifaction since .450 Bushmaster and .458 Socom are similar enough ballistically. Same for all big bore guns that shoot heavy bullets with a low B.C. that have lower velocities. They should be classed different than the high velocity...

      Rifle now legal for deer hunting in Indiana

      I've been thinking about a 300 blackout upper lately but I might just wait and see if they allow 6.8 SPC whenever they get around to allowing more calibers. Not interested in a suppressor so I see no atvantage of getting a 300 blackout except to fufill the have something right now urge.

      Anyone going to try hitting "running" deer with new 5 Cartridge rifles this Fall

      Well that changes what I was led to believe, that gravity will pull bullets to the earth at the same speed, so velocity is dependant and how far a bullet will travel before it hits the earth. There are so many other factors to this so anything is possible. I wish the link gave some links that...
