I’ve got both the wooltimate jacket and the vest. Both are super warm. The jacket is too bulky for bow hunting, at least for me. They run big too. I also bought the stand hunter extreme bids on sale last year. Wore them a couple times on really cold days. They’re absolutely the best. They are...

That’s your clover. In my limited experience it’ll spend most of this year putting down roots and really take off next spring. Adding the rye is going to provide a food source all winter and will really help keep weeds down and provide shade for your clover next spring. Looks like Great...

GEEZ!

I’m in the same area as you are. I’m in western Crawford county and I’ve been using the phrase scorched earth. I’m putting lime down this weekend. I may spread and lightly disc in my fertilizer next week so my plots are basically prepped and just wait for rain in the forecast. I ordered my...

This - I use a cheap digital kitchen scale and a plastic measuring cup. I weigh a full measuring cup and then just do the math from there.

Sure looks like persimmon to me.

I only have a couple years experience plotting but I wouldn’t leave out or short change the rye or the clover. The rye through the winter here in my part of Missouri is great throughout the winter and especially into the early spring. The clover helps out in the spring and early summer as...

Nicely done!

Sweet!

I have a couple earthways as well. My only complaint is the plastic clip that holds the strap on.

I think they run just slightly large. I’m an XL in almost everything and there’s plenty of room in the XL wooltimate jacket for me. The sleeves are a little baggy but manageable. The same is true for the Berber fleece jacket. I’ve tried that on and the Length is good in the arms but the XL...

It sounds like you’ve really got your mind set on the 7mm. It’s a solid choice. Keep us posted on what you end up with.

That can certainly be a factor. Once you get enough components then dies aren’t all that expensive when you look at the savings. I reload for everything I own. It’s a hobby all to itself. I like to say I say it doesn’t save me any money though. It just lets me shoot more for the same amount...

I’ll be another voice. My first rifle was my dad’s old army surplus 6.5 x 55 Swedish army surplus carbine. The first rifle I bought was a Remington 700 BDL In 7mm Remington mangum. I love that rifle. It’s probably 35 years old now. I load 150 grain bullets for the most part. I shoot a variety...

I did my first couple this year. One of them was near one of my water holes. I had a couple pictures of fawns checking it out in early September but then it fizzled. The other one on the edge of a food lot trail got taken over but the deer and became a regular scrape where I watched a young...

I’ve become more conscious about layering. Merino wool base layer, followed by cabelas stand hunter base layer, a light fleece layer and then an outer layer. Last week it was in the 30s so my outer layer was a wooltimate vest. It’s nice to be able to pull the bow back without any restriction...

I think this is one of those slippery slope questions. My boys didn’t show an interest until they were pushing adulthood. Their lives were dominated by athletics and studies. As such I’m not really qualified to offer any experience on young hunters. I just think we need to leave those...

I’ve really become a fan of warm base layers. I’m at the age (56) where I want to be warm. merino wool is my new favorite. Minus33 has some good stuff. I also really like my Cabela’s stand hunter base layer shirt. Maybe your dad is the same?

I’ve got all of two seasons experience with food plots but for me winter rye seeded seeded in September has been very impressive. They use it all winter and into the spring. We don’t get deep snow though.

Way to go young lady!
