I didn't ban him but I don't think his posts had any merit. Some folks are clever enough to write something that makes them appear to belong and then add a link that advertises something for personal gain. In this case the person posted in at least three places, with links to a business in all...

His post may have been all those things but I think he was banned because he also included a link in his posts to a business or service, which is not allowed. A primary source of income for most websites comes from advertising. Posting a link to a business or service in a post is usually an...

It's very simple - we want to reduce the chance of getting shot. We wear the orange hat on our head so the other hunters in the field can see us better. We put the orange hat on the dash so the road hunters can see us better.

I've also heard them called "dead bird". Quite often in fact, probably more than any other name. At least my dog thinks that is what we call them most of the time.

I've heard them called "Ringneck"

I'd say the deer "kicked the bucket" for no apparent reason.

Guns don't count because they are "an investment". Actually the increase in expected value should be subtracted from the cost when calculating the cost per bird. That's my argument and I'm sticking to it. Another factor to consider when talking to the spouse is that the more days you hunt the...

yes, got the "letter" today too. Just need to sign it and include a check for the measuring service to make the deal.

Probably need to plant between May 1st and June 15th. Best results are obtained by planting as early as possible after May 1st. Fall plantings work best with cool season grasses.

In my opinion, the argument about the reduction of birds due to sun up to dusk hunting being responsible for the reduction of pheasants doesn't have much merit. I believe that habitat is the major factor in pheasant populations. Increase habitat for nesting and winter protection and you will...

If a person can get something for nothing then that's great and more power to you. However, I have a hard time understanding why a landowner or farmer would turn down an opportunity to make additional income. And I don't understand why so many hunters are unwilling to pay for the opportunity...

One thing that is for certain. When folks want something they want it to be cheap or free and maybe even someone else to pay for it. Conversely, when folks have something to sell they want more, even more and all the money. landowners are no different. When they are in the market to buy land...

I'm really worried about the 1.5 year old deer. They are going to wonder where the standing corn is this winter!!

I don't know- boy that's a tough one.

That is for sure. I'd add that most, if not everyone, on this forum board would not let the average Joe Blow stranger hunt it just for the asking either. At least not for very long.
