The three types many of you require: Straight head, Phillips and Milk of Magnesia.

Baker-I think you are missing the point. What I was pointing out is simply, you cannot compare animals from one area with animals from another, regardless of age. The fact you have two bucks, in your terms, one wide and one narrow, is quite common regardless of the definition of wide and narrow...

Was contacted today to do a webinar, (combination seminar on the web...I guess,) on the four factors that influence deer movement. It is one of my old seminars at outdoor shows, very popular. When it was explained to me how I had to go about it and the compensation, it was easy for me to...

Just FYI, I think, if you can contact a guy named Brian Kinkle, he might tell you quite a bit about antler conformation and nutrition. I have lost his contact info-smart guy for a hippie.

Uhhh neither of those is what I call narrow. Narrow to me is under 16-17". Neither of those bucks would have made it past 3.5 around here and if they did, it is quite doubtful either would be near that wide, or high or heavy. Our state record, if I remember correctly, is 184". I have seen many...

Grew up there, ran dogs for many years, lost a couple shirt tails, too. Had a camp in Saline swamp and camped a lot in Cocodrie. Killed my first three deer, two in Saline, one in Cocodrie.

Well, that's two. :) Now add in the ones killed in Texas and you'll have a couple pages full. But if you would hunt over around Welch or between Centralia and Pyramid Corners, you could kill some really good ones. :)

Both of you are dead on. Hunting with a crossbow is 180-degrees different than shooting one at an archery shop.

Okay-Baker, I'll try to take them in order. (1)- Sex ratio of 1:1, accomplishes three major things. 1- More mortality due to fighting. )2) Less buffer due to disease such as EHD. (3) Lower hunters success on average. Higher hunter success on mature bucks due to probabilities. IOW-fewer bucks...

Although I wanted to avoid it, I became involved in a discussion on crossbows. So, some background. For many years, I was an adamant opponent of crossbows-even for the disabled. I spoke in front of the Commission, testifying against the legalization of them in TN. Then, I did some research and...

wbp-sent you one picture, see what you can do with that, and thanks. Let me know if you got it.

I am done until next fall on the property. In the process of things, we also saw about 270-turkeys and more bobcat sign than I have seen in many years. Unfortunately, I cannot get the pictures to post and do not have a way to re-size them, that works. I have convinced my client to reduce his...

When I talk to someone about writing in general but creative writing, one of things I emphasize is the value of a journal. It is not just a way of keeping records and reminders. Journaling is a way of channeling a creative flow. It cannot be done on a computer, it must be done by hand. When I am...

Knew Buster quite well. Used his drill bits for many years on my own stands, loved it. I bought my own bolts in bulk. Did not use them on "guide stands" due to the liability issue. I could climb a tree, drilling and placing bolts as I went and hang a stand in 10-minutes. I used, still use, an...
