Nice one....good job to those who scored. My two week rut vacation starts next Friday.

How about Team Venison Vengence?

Ditto on the Goliath....I tuck my elbows by my side and sleep on my all day sits. You're locked in with a safety harness backup.

The bags from a Cabela's store fit nicely over them.

...as long as they didn't sprout and then dry out.

Ditto....young deer for next year....but if that's what you want, wack him.

TC Encore Muzzleloading Rifle is as close as I can get and legally shoot at deer.

Blue tongue hit my area pretty hard last year so does are off limits until the population gets back to what it was.

Mad Buck Growl here. I like how loud it gets. I've already had bucks going across a field with the truetalker that couldn't hear it. Gets awful windy here and the extra volume helps.

I go to great lengths to be as scent free as possible and don't use any scents. I've had them mess up some opportunities before and don't believe in them. Pressured deer in 'the real world' know what scents are imo.

As late in Oct as possible unless you're on one in his summer pattern when the season opens. Early season around here is basically an hour in the am and an hour in the pm...possibly a little more if the weather is unseasonably cold.

I'd go with 95". Let him walk without worrying about whether he gets wacked by your nieghbors. One thing's for sure, if you kill him he won't grow.

That does work, but it's hard on chains. I'd go with the burning if you wanna work the ground for plots.

I certainly hope not.

I just bought the Rage at the Cabelas sale last night. The advertising sold me....amazing holes.

Ditto here.

Another week or two here.

With it being mild this year, I'd plant clover right before a rain around labor day. It's hard in IL to find something they'll eat since they're spoiled with unlimited crops. Then around the last week in Sep., broadcast wheat and/or oats in the clover before a rain for a winter nurse. Mow the wheat off in the late spring and your clover will be under it.

Order Buck Forage Oats online....they're supposed to be more cold tolerant. Last year, I planted regular ones and they were gone in late Oct. I'm gonna see if BFO is worth it this year.

I'd wait until about Oct. 1 and plant Wheat and Buck Forage Oats. If you wait, they will still be tender in the season.

Agreed.

Give 'em one more year.....imo. The velvet is adding inches that'll be gone in a few weeks.

Still out there doe hunting to get my fix before the season's out. Bucked out since Nov. 10, though.
