Looking for sheds in a pine/cedar thicket I saw this white bloom and had to check it out. First glance I thought it had to be a plum, but the more I look online I’m thinking blackthorn. My iNaturalist app says meadowsweet but I believe that’s wrong. When I’m doubt I always come here knowing that...

Canned bear meat is the BEST. More tender than deer. Also have heard it’s good in burger, but haven’t tried that or steaks like you.

Beautiful! Can’t wait till WV allows you to burn here for us.

Same look on my face! Watch out next year

Old clear cut that we have a few acres of. The deer use it I believe, but I’m looking to maximize the draw. We have some locust in there, some mountain laurel and some about knee high brush. Any natives or shrubs could I plant in this rocky WV mountain land. Fire unfortunately isn’t available in...

Has been one of my favorite threads to follow along with. Thanks for all you have done and continue to do!

Finally!

Got lucky on some traps! Have seen trial pics of this guy and finally caught up with him in n a snare! Got a blonde one years ago and tanned him out, looking forward to doing him the same way!

It’s a club car with a 51V RoyPow lithium battery.

Verdict is still out. We are in the hills of WV and dad got an electric one last year. Jacked up, ballon tires etc and a lithium battery. It will pull anywhere we have, and a few places are right nasty with one person. Two people and some of the big pulls someone will have to get off. Depending...

Don’t have a deer hunt that I recall as being very cold. Coldest hunt of my life was a duck hunt last year. Sitting on the river we watched it freeze in front of us. Birds were rolling in though and got my first mallard band with my dad. Temps were around 0 with a wind chill of, very cold.

Duck season opens in WV tomorrow. Unfortunately with about 2 inches of rain and a little ice river will be rolling. Then with the temps around 0 and falling all day tomorrow that will lock everything up. The 10 ducks we had in WV will all be headed south!

I’m back! Well haven’t gone anywhere, have been poking around here for some time but wanted to get back into the habitat and property tour page! Picture attached is for attention, he’s the biggest buck of my life. Not the mountains of WV obviously, Kansas buck.

It’s illegal in WV to burn the forest floor. We have burnt fields in the past, but after talk to local DNR a while back it came up that it was illegal, unfortunately.

Times two on the black gold, best sight that I have ever had. I love the single pin, shoot your bow enough to know what it’s doing. I set it on 30 and forget it. I know what it’s doing at 20 and 40 so I’m good for 99 percent of my shots. If I’m feeling frisky and he is out there a little bit , I...
