    None of these locations are remotly close to where I hunt.. how are these meetings going to gauge anything when the locations are grouped the way the are..

    Prime dates are filling fast, we’ve added a few new farms this year for an even greater pool of bucks, the goal has been finding farms close to camp yet far enough out to land us in new core areas. Check us out at

    Great plan, you don’t wanna empty the table, by June the local row crops will be established. I’ve had great luck seeding fresh clover in with the brassicas by just dropping the brassica seed rate a bit.

    Readers should note that no data from MN is included in the report….because our DNR doesn’t think collecting data on buck age structure is a valuable exercise


    So frickin sad!

    Muzzy…… been around the block! Lost 2 with the 2 blase chisel points this year that were point blank and simply didn’t get penatration… at all… 70# freshly tuned Mathews… they don’t bleed out the best with the small hole but you almost always get 2 holes and a dead deer with a good shot!

    Brassicas are best planted in the last 2 weeks of July. if planted earlier they can mature and begin to harden off no longer providing supple fresh groth on the tops

    Oats unless you buy the winter variety or Buck forage oats. Should be planted basicly no earlier than 45 days before the first frost. after 45 days they become less palateable for the deer.

    As far as clover I my best plots have been seeded in the fall, seems to be way less noctious weed compotition

    As for other crops as far as food plots there arnt any besides corn and beans IMO
    Brassicas,grains,clovers, and row cropsand you cover the whole spectrum

    I should add i prefer sites with a bit of a slope, i dont have good luck with deer hitting minerls sites when they are briming with water. Placing them on a slight slope helps with run off and rather than having it leach into the soil straight down it leeches across the soil as stated above elongating the soil

    Dump it right on the snow in a pile, salt melts the snow…. im goin thru about 10 pounds every 3 to 4 weeks, if i mix 5 pounds of Monster Raxx with 50#s of corn, its all cleaned up in 3 days. Id rather just pile it up and let my deer eat straight mineral rather than having them consume dirt to get the minerals imtryin to force feed them.

    Imo the question of ethics doesnt lie in the sport per say but rather the group of hooligans you encountered. Ive heard the same about guys up in the big woods hunting cats the same way. Some peoples idiocy knows no boundrys.

    Hope your shoot went well, im not much of a fowler but i do know i hate the wind and like it at my back, i like when my dog can get in the water and half way to the bird before the drift a half mile away! Had a mallard down and some how its dang wing was flipped up at an angle in it took off like a sail boat, angleing cross wind! That one was lost in action!

    Yes i can post again somehow!

    Number one is you want to find a background thats has good contrast to the antlers.
    Second you gonna wanna clean up the blood if possible, if your no in a place where you can wash it youd be amazed what some dirt can do, a hand full of dry dirt on the wound and his face, rub it in then brush it off, works great!
    Third your gonna wanna position him so his front legs are folded back

    4th you want to get back a bit from the deer especialy the bigger guys, a barrel chested/bellied guy holding a 160 with 2 hands right infront of him will look like a 130.

    5th unless he has baems you cant get your hand around dont hold him by the rack, slide your hand up under his chin,keeping your hands out of site will help enlarge the appearance of the rack.

    6 GET LOW standing over the top of a guy to take the pic doesn’t help anything, all of the best harvest photos i have taken have been from on my belly.

    7 take atleast 30 pics maybe 60! How often are you taking pictures of a big buck? Take your time enjoy it! When your lookin back on the pic for yoears you dont wanna be thinkin man i coulda done better, you wanna think wow was it worth it to take 100 pics, typicaly i like 2 or 3 of them!
    8 MOVE! 30 pics from the same spot does nothing for finding the perfect pic, change angles, move around no more the 5 to 10 pics in the same spot!
    9 for gods sake smile, when im sitting at home watching my boy NOT hunting and i see a pic of a guy holding an huge buck and hes not smileing all i can think is IMO what a grouch, this aint a im a bad [censored] shot its a fricken harvest photo! And lastly make sure you post the dam things so we can see! Thats what were here for!
