Amazing pictures man!! Great shed and deer!

I always use the Realtree screw in hanger. I don't like most other ones. They don't seem to hold my bow as well. Cant beat the two or three arm screw in.

I use a Remington 870 12 ga. It is an older model.. about 1980 or 90s. My grandfather gave it to my dad now I have it. Its about 4 foot long, but I tell ya it does the job. lol

I was going to make a sarcastic remark but on this subject it most likely not good for this matter. This is just plain dumb. I would have to agree with you. For someone to say to urinate on themselves to turn a rapest down come on lets be real here, that won't do anything but I know one thing that will and that would be a a firearm toward that person....

Thats sick man. Congrats on the Nice New Jersey buck!!

Ok so I was thinking today since I had a snow day that I have not been on here in about 3 years. Well I have decided to get back into this with full force. I have been shed hunting a lot the past couple of years. My wife and I decided to get a dog about 2 years ago. Well when we got our wonderful dog Hoyt he took a special interest in deer antlers. Well I started working with him at 8 weeks and now he is just over 2 years old. I haven't been real close with dogs in the past but this dog has a special place in my heart not only for being a caring and loving animal but a shed hunting machine. It amazes me how he can turn on his hunt mode but be so loving an caring to not only me and my wife but to my almost 3 year old niece. My dog Hoyt at the age of 2 years and 5 months with no special training has found 7 sheds. It amazes me to watch him have the passion I do for searching for deer antlers. To watch him hunt is like watching a setter go after quail on an october morning. I don't want to seem like I am tooting my own horn or anything, I am just one proud puppy owner. Does anyone else try hunting sheds with your dogs?? Thank you for listening. Here is a picture of my Boy Hoyt!

I have not been to hadley creek. But I am a guide for an outfitter here in missouri and I would have to say from a guides perspective you need to give him a tip. To me it all depends on how hard the guide works. If your not seein deer and he is moving you around to try and get you on some or if you are seeing deer but just not shooters then in my opinion that is what a hard working guide will do for you. Just my opinion though. As far as price I think I am on the low end, I charge anywhere from $75-$100 a day.

Hey guys just wondering how everyone was doin? I haven't posted any yet because I dont want to post a ton of pictures. But I have found 11 so far. Still lookin but heck I am still seeing bucks packing at least one side and some with both. I hope everyone is doin great!! Good luck and keep lookin Hoythunter

No offense but PLEASE and I mean PLEASE!!!!!! DO NOT PLANT HONEYSUCKLE!!!! I work in the forestry business and yes this does make great cover for deer and wildlife. But you will have no understory trees what so ever after you plant this. It is one of the most highly invasive species out there. Once you plant this you will hardly never be able to get it out of your woods or your neighbor's woods ever again. I would recommend doing a TSI (Timber Stand Improvement). I would go through and cut all the tree's around your crop tree's allowing about 30ft around that tree's canope. Doing this will allow more light down to the forest floor getting better oak regeneration for a better stand of cover and food for wildlife.

And if you need anyone else I am in....

That is awesome!! Good picture

Amen to that. I have been there myself. Best thing you can do is learn from it and go on. There is always a circle of life and if you dont feed from him then something else will.

Same here. Most likely will never shoot one past 50 but if I need to its there and I know I can hit it.

I had my first one last year with my bow. Shot my 12pt that scored 148 7/8 the day before our Missouri gun season.

O man my soon to be wife and I went to there concert last year at the Missouri State Fair and it was awesome. One of the best concerts we have ever been to. It sure does look like you all had a great time. Nice pic's too
