those are some nice spots--can you get in quiet? todd

Re: COTW - .270 Winchester I still enjoy your cartridge teachings. Keep it up and thanks! todd

Re: aluminum vs. carbon I shoot gold tips and get better groups then i did with my XX75. Carbon shooter for life (well maybe not for life but at least until something comes out better than gold tips). todd

very true! thanks again for another good tip. I always tell my wife or dad where i will be hunting and which stand! todd

Re: Stands and blinds nice looking set up! hope you bag a bruiser this year! todd PS: Gosh, I can hardly wait for deer season!

Re: Dog doc dogs and west nile? There is no vaccine for dogs and I doubt there will be one any time soon. If you have a healthy dog than I wouldn't worry about. We have not seen a case in a dog in oklahoma yet but we are seeing a lot of horse cases. I would bet the dog that was infected with the virus and got sick had an underlying problem that was causing some immune suppression. There is a fairly new product out called Advantix, it controls fleas, ticks, and repells mosquitoes off dogs. If you are in an area with West Nile than I would strongly recommend that! Do not use this product on cats! good luck todd

I hear ya--I don't know how many times I have been peed on by leaking diapers. But I get peed on all the time--if not by the kids then by my patients! todd

Re: Just to let you all know good luck---it does sound like you did everything possible within your power. I hope it all works out for the best in the long run!!!! Lots of prayers! todd

Re: Hey wanted to glad to hear the good news!!!!!

Re: Kinda bummed... congrats on the 2nd bird--my season ended last tuesday--kind of bummed out but it probably saved me from having to hire a divorce attorney. I think my kids were starting to think the mail man was their father todd

Re: Found my Shed!! {Pic} that was a good one!

Re: Wood Ticks... I pulled off 10 on me after turkey hunting last week! They seem to be really bad this year! todd

i am enjoying your tips---keep it up! I actually shot one of my nicest bucks (good 9-pointer) at 1:30 in the afternoon. Sitting in my tower stand watching my Pokes play football on my little handheld TV, looking up every few seconds lo-and behold--there he is walking out of the trees. This is especially true during the late pre-rut into the rut! good post Jim! thanks todd [ 04-26-2003, 08:48 PM: Message edited by: dogdoc ]

Re: Tip Of The Week good tip Jim! todd

Jim, i am seeing the same thing and have been hunting this spot a lot. It seems every morning a gobbler shows up to the edge of the tree line---gobbles a few times and the hen goes running to him. I have not been able to get him to come out to me I keep thinking she will finally start setting on her nest exclusively and when the gobbler comes for her and she doesn't respond then he might be a little more vulnerable to my mediocre calling. todd

hey jim, i got my joked pulled from the lounge and I don't think it was as disturbing as that! that's brutal---but is kind of funny! todd

I just got finished planting about 15 persimmon trees on my land. I've got about 20 more growing in my sun room that I will transplant next year. I collect the seed in the fall, put it in the fridge for about 2 months and then plant in a styrofoam cup. They can produce fruit in about 5 years! good luck todd

wtnhunt, yep deer can get internal paraseites just like other grazing animals. They rarely ever cause a problem in deer b/c they are free roaming. Where as cattle and sheep are usually in a confined area they are constantly reinfecting themselves--therefore they need to be on a deworming program. I imagine that deer that frequent pastures where other domisticated ruminants live they probably do have a few worms. But since they are free roaming they aren't constantly reinfecting themselves with the worms. hope this answers your question! todd

Re: Nine Years Later... good job--hope the next one doesn't take as long!!! congrats! todd

with all those girls (does) hangin' around I don't think you big boy will be going anywhere. Good luck and post us a pic when you get him. todd

Re: How do you get up the tree? I use screw in steps for my hang on stands, but sometimes they can be a booger to get in that hard oak tree. But once they are in they are very stable. Just remember always wear a harness. A hunter lost his life after falling 20 feet while installing a hang on this year. His wife was below him and saw it all. What a tragedy that could have been prevented. good luck todd
