There are some pictures of my SML Encore on this thread: https://deerhunterforum.com/threads/what-is-your-%E2%80%9Cgo-to%E2%80%9D-weapon-for-deer-hunting.6873/ It is a Jeff Hankins build .45 cal Encore build. Here is the details...

When I was googling for more info on the Eliminator 6 Burris Connect app details, I found this: Refurbished Older Model Eliminators. I figured I'd post the link in case anyone is interested in the older models. My research into the Eliminator caused me to steer away from the older models, but...

That makes sense. There was no shortage of reported issues with the older models.

In many states, but certainly not all, baiting is illegal. Many consider it unethical, but that is a personal decision you will need to make. Next, concentrated food sources cause more face to face contact than deer naturally have and some diseases can have increased transmission. In...

I would think they have. I went back and looked at old youtube videos. The Eliminator III was debuted at the 2014 Shot show. That was 10 years ago and they are now up the the Eliminator 6. That is plenty of renditions to work out the kinks.

First, I don't know where you are located, but I'd get rid of the feeder. Next, I'd contact your state wildlife agency. I'm a Hunter Education instructor in Virginia. In the last 10 years, our state has transitioned from all in-person classes to permitting on-line training only. In person...

Yes, I hope so too. I know I'm taking a chance on it. I've had the OracleX since 2021 and it has performed flawlessly. That makes me think they have worked the bugs out of the electronics and display portion. I think my biggest concern is how the shock and vibration will be tolerated. I...

A few years ago, I got an Burris OracleX laser ranging scope for my Mission Sub-One Lite crossbow. I've really come to love it. For bowhunting, it eliminates a lot of movement and is very easy to use. It virtually eliminates my ranging error. It accounts for elevation. At the push of a...

You should be fine. All the seed you mentioned except for the sunflowers will do well with this method. At my place sunflowers want to be planted a little deeper. I don't know if that is unique to my soil and seed predation factors or not.

I completely agree on Dunstan when buying trees. Most of mine are Dunstan. For the new guys, there is nothing wrong with Dunstan trees but the price as they have been hyped to the hunting community. I grew all my trees from nuts, so there was no added premium for me to grow my own. One thing...

Quite the shot with low velocity .22 ammo!

Good luck Matt! I've had very poor luck with grafting chestnuts. I'm not sure what it is about chestnuts, but I can't seem to get them to take. Chestnuts tend to respond to injury (cut) by putting up new root shoots and suckers rather than pushing the graft. I hope you have much better...

They are not that rare in my area. I see them every now and then. One year we had an albino on our farm. I've never seen one before or since that one.

The gift that just keeps on giving!

Cute! My neighbor boys are taking their rabbits to a hotel lobby for Easter. The manager thought it would be a nice Easter attraction. The only fertilization I've done on my chestnuts is with Osmocote and MicroMax when they are in containers. Mine are all wildlife trees planted in too high...
