    Spreader for Polaris Ranger Crew

    Does anyone have a spreader they use with the larger Polaris Ranger Crew? I’m looking for something that would fit in the back 2” hitch but be long enough to run control from front. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum

    4 Years in the making...

    I haven’t shared much in last year or so but wanted to include a short story on a deer I’ve been after for last few years. Was a great weekend I got to share with my dad (and loop the little man in at the end). Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum

    Doe harvest/ ratio question

    I own 135 acres in an extremely high deer density, but also extremely high hunting pressure area in West Central, IL. On average we harvest 2 bucks (goal is 4+) and one doe per year. I don’t know our exact deer density but I can tell you I saw 25+ antlerless deer and 4 bucks yesterday while...

    Got it done tonight!

    Had a great evening. I planned to walk in around 11:30 and sit until dark in a proven stand in our creek bottom. Has been slow overall but lately two days showed fawns were on their own and the cold front with high pressure had me excited. On my long walk to the stand I bumped a 3yr old and...

    Grunting/rattling from box blind?

    Anyone do this? I’m live from the stand in a tower blind sitting on a levy. There are 3 acres of standing beans directly in front and green field tucked in woods behind. There is a huge block of CREP trees which is a bedding area adjacent to beans. I don’t have my decoy out. Sent from...

    Ozonics 200 & 300 HR

    I’m not looking for a debate on washing my teeth with peroxide or chewing on apples while in the stand. I understand using wind is most important and also access to and from stand. I also understand there is no way to eliminate human odor. My question: for those that have used ozonics...

    Best 20ft ladder

    I’m slowly replacing stands on my property with ladder stands where possible. They last longer, can be more comfortable, but mostly are just safer (especially for friends and family). My favorite is the millennium l110 (Cadillac but around $330/stand). I’m willing to pay for these for...

    Inaugural run with my new vector slate. It will get a chance to take a second spin around the block. Thanks, Vince. Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum

    Advice needed (neighbors logging property)

    I received a call today from my neighbors letting me know they have signed a contract to log their property. They have roughly 240 acres in all of which approximately 120 are timber. Directly adjacent to me is 80 acres of theirs which sits to South and West of my main piece and to East of my...

    2018 target buck!

    This guy never showed up during the season. But, I will be dreaming of him until 10/1/18. Curious what you think, but looks like a 3yr old to me that could blow up. Am I just trying to ‘manufacture’ a 3yr old or does he look young to you also? Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum

    Question for Baker (or others that observe giant deer often).

    I had an outfitter share with me this year that they had a 2yr old on camera pushing 200” with 22 scoreable points”. I cannot buy this. This was in Fulton County IL where I hunt and own land. I just can’t see it. Not doubting the 200” or 22 points... just can’t see a 2yr deer doing that...

    If you had $150 to spend on Xmas gift

    I asked this last year— and am again this year. Our family caps our gifts at $150. I have $150 to spend on my dad (also bowhunter). What would you spend yours on for a gift? Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum

    Invasive shrubs- winter strategy possible?

    Reading the thread on “what would you have done differently” a comment stood out about fighting invasive plants while there was a chance. We are starting to see more autumn olive and honeysuckle (and some thorny locust). I want to wage an all out war against these. I’m wondering: IS THERE A...

    Ozone closets

    Anyone using ozone to prep their hunting clothing? I am a big believer in the power of ozone but for health reasons probably won't use a unit while I'm in tree. I have ordered what I need to make a large ozone closet like the scent crusher closet, but a DIY model. Will post pictures of the...

    Deer processing questions

    1) curious what level of processing you do (all, some, none)? I currently do nothing other than cut out back straps. I don't even skin my own deer. Would love to learn more and plan to start small this year doing own ground. 2) for those that grind their own burger, can you share your...

    Too many does?

    This is the 4th season with our 119 acre property. We have done a lot of work to add food and improve bedding. Last year we had a lot of mature bucks and several 4+ year old deer made the season. This year so far we have had fewer mature bucks on camera than any other year and most of the...
