Forum: The Hunting Shack

I'm going to try and get out Sunday morning then move a stand. I might just turkey hunt our field and then move the stand later in the morning.:chin: This south wind is killing me. :mad:We do not have any stands that can really be hunted with the sout winds. Property and lay of land from how the...

Lots of does and fawns this time but only one decent buck and he came on a foggy morning. I might need to look for a better location.

That stuff really works! I don't even think he knew I was there

The season opens tomorrow moring. I have to get even with big Tom from this spring. I will be in a stand tomorrow morning over looking a clover plot with turkey decoys and my bow. Hoping to get a wack at Tom and another deer. Anyone else got a fall permit?

How do I find out? Or if it's not posted, can I just used the 500 feet rule? I called the DNR, they told me to call the County Sheriffs office, the county Sheriffs office said that if it wasn't posted and I was 500', they wouldn't do anything, but that I would have to call the city police to make...

Got this pic of 3 bucks in one of my clover plots. Looks like 2 of them are already jokeying for position in the woods. The third one looks like he's going to take the winner:D

You ready to chase donald duck this weekend? A lot of the woodies seem to have left our area unfortunately, but starting to see a lot more ringbills now. Mallard numbers are up considerably too.

Me and the boys were in the tree all weekend. We managed to take 2 mature does out of the herd and restock the freezer. Each of us had a chance at a small buck, but passed. Got a couple decent deer on cam around the property so we are holding out and doing a little doe harvest until big john...

Headed out to the deer stand last night to try and put one down before heading up duck hunting today. The acorns are all over the woods. At 5:45 I had two small bucks come in and feed for about 45 minutes. About 7 had a third buck come through at 25 yards that was real close to getting an arrow. I...

starting to look around for some field goose decoys. i've looked at just about all of them. and i think i'm going to go with the greenhead gear ones. they seem to be a good looking quality decoy at a reasonable price. the avian-x ones look really good. but at the price no thanks. i wonder how...

I got up to Glenwood and swapped out the cards again. Over 400 pictures but almost all were does with fawns that lived right in front of the camera for 2 weeks. One really fat buck that needs another year or two to grow.

Brand new plot this spring and they are in it all the time got this big guy oon my freshly planted rye

Was up in the Crosby area to chase some grouse this weekend. Brittany was all excited cuz she had a new gun to shoot, but I was more excited to see how quickly the new pup figured out what was going on. I didnt have the chance to get her on live birds yet so this was gonna be a make or break...

DNR Takes Aim at Hunter Recruitment By: Bob Bohland Hunting license sales are seeing a sharp decline. Not just in the State of Minnesota, but nationwide. This is causing quite a stir among those in charge of managing wildlife and wildlife lands due to the majority of their funds coming from...

So some of you might remember a long time ago that I found some pretty impressive matching sheds. Well I have been trying to figure out what to do with them, and my boss suggested that I mount them. I thought about it along time and He made a good point "You (I) will probably never shoot a buck...

Here are a couple pics of Jake (6) and Chase (8) We started the morning out at 4:30 and got to the water about 5:15 with a couple of trips back to the truck :cry: one for the calls and the other for shells we were ready to start the hunt. Before we knew it we had wood ducks and a pair of mallards...

I went and checked the 2 Truthcams over the long weekend and have a few shots to share. One was setup on a pine and had problems because the wind shook the tree setting it off. 230 pictures and only 5 were deer, all small. The other was setup on a fence post facing the prairie and it managed to...

I found what I think is a smoking deal on Wildlife research scent killer. 2 gallons for $25. Sportsman guide has that price if you are interested.

had a good opener weekend. shot a few birds every day. should have done alot better saturday but other hunters made birds difficult to get into range. sunday and monday we hunting a pasture that was lights out. shot our 2 man limit in an hour from 9-10 when the birds were coming back from...

The early goose season starts Saturday. Who is going out to smash some sky carp? I'll be heading to the Fergus area and hoping to fill the pickup with them. Dad, brother, and both my sons will be out with me bright and early saturday. Good luck to all heading...

Who is ready for the season and has there deer picked out? :D It's so bad I cannot get through a day without thinking about bow hunting makes the work days too long. Does not help Nova keeps bringing in pictures of deer every week. :blow: I have my vacation time in and cannot wait for...

Well I retrieved my memory card for the first time and looked at the pics. I can see easily the fun in all of this. I purchased the WildGame camera from Gander and it seems to be working for the most part. Most of my night shots are just a white picture which I imagine is from dew/fog that is in...

Got out this weekend and worked on the trails for our stands. Took a lot of cutting of weeds to re-open the paths. Pulled the cards also Saturday. Not too many pics but had a couple that might take a dirt nap if given the chance.:D

So do you shoot him or let him walk and hope that the other side catches up?
