  1. Best cheap layout blind that is easy to carry in that I have found is Final Approach Express blind. Roger's Sporting Goods has them $89 right now. http://store.rogerssportinggoods.com/servlet/-strse-900/final-approach-eliminator-express/Detail
  2. I would think about one of the quick mast producing oaks such as a Sawtooth Oak. I don't know how quck a Burr Oak produces mast. I have no experience in big clear cuts.
  3. As far as culling I don't think culling is effective in a free ranging herd. We can't control genetics in free ranging deer. Age in my opinion is the best way of determining if a buck is a shooter or not but that takes lots of experience and practice aging a buck on the hoof---especially when buck fever sets in on a hunt. Many clubs have the rule that if you shoot it you mount it. If you don't mount it then the hunter pays the mounting fee to the club which is used to improve the habitat (food plot costs). When a hunter has to dish out $400 then they think a little bit more about whether or not to shoot that buck. Five to one doe:buck ratio is a little high. Maybe you need to put an "Earn a Buck" rule where a hunter has to shoot a doe before taking a buck. todd
  4. congrats on the bucks guys. Deer movement has been very slow. Hunted this past weekend with the rifle opener to see only a few does. Hunted on wednesday and saw nothing. Warm weather, full moon, and strong winds have limited movement. Will be going out again this weekend to try to score us some points and me some meat. todd
  5. I've never been a big Cowboy (Dallas) but watch them now that my fellow Cowboy (OSU) is playing for them. Dez is a stud. He was amazing to watch in college and has a very bright future if he can stay healthy. This looked like a new Cowboy team. I have never been a Phillips fan but the team seemed rejuvinated. Only time will tell if it continues. They may end up following the same path as Oakland---their owners are very similiar.
