      Anyone hunt out of a tree saddle?

      Huh.....never seen this before but interesting. My first thought is that it might get uncomfortable after time and cause unnecessary movement. I can stay still and comfortable in my Summit for hours

      Any explanation? Full Rack in April

      Hadnt been to my farm in couple months and got down there this weekend (essential travel) and pulled the trail cameras. I have pictures with bucks already developing nubs. This guy is still sporting full rack. The date/time on the camera IS correct. I really couldn't believe it...

      Second Rut...

      Right. Food sources are the key.....that and some nice cold weather or snow. I love being out in the woods right after fresh snow and you can see waay up through the woods. Heres hoping we get some in the next couple weeks :)

      Brown Co State Park Draw Hunt Experience

      Very funny indeed......but so true. I've had same experience the last few times with Park Hunts also. The only 2 that I've been part of are Brown County -gun and FT Harrison -bow. I've had success at each of them over the years but that was quite a few years ago (probably 9+) or...

      Parking

      Pacers are out of town so should be plenty of parking over at the Virginia St garage. Also, several lots off of Alabama that have early bird specials for $5.

      "I just shot myself!"

      Thanks for posting. Makes us all stop and think. Definitely cant get sloppy or too comfortable. He was a lucky man that day for sure......could have been waaaaay worse

      Its almost mushroom time!

      I've heard that as well.......big snow = great mushroom season. Cant confirm that though but I still think we're a couple weeks away here in S Central IN. Ground temp is still way too cool

      Pre-registering for show admission

      Took about a week for mine to come in after completing the info on line. I agree with others, not much in the packet compared to other years. I've been to Pitt, L'ville, STL, and it also had schedules, hotel info, directions, badge with your name on it, etc.... This year just...

      Guns with meaning and memories

      Mine would be a Winchester Model 37 20ga..... took my first squirrel when I was 8 or 9 years old with it and carried for years in the woods when would go squirrel hunting with my dad. Many good memories with it and I think of those days often as I see it sitting in the safe

      Wheel Gun Show-N-Tell

      Here is one of my favorites...... pre-war S&W K-22 Outdoorsman. Some of the smoothest shooting guns ever made. This one has only faint cylinder line though so it usually stays in the box. Ha ha

      The Special Antlerless Season

      Agree with sportsman. We own/have access to several properties in 3 different counties and I would say without a doubt that #'s are way down over the last 2-3 years on every single one of the properties. EHD and overharvest of does (on adjacent lands ) for sure. We haven't taken a...
