The first time I went deer hunting, I borrowed a rifle with no scope, borrowed blaze orange and a knife and was given some ammo. I think I wore regular clothes and boots. No scent killer or detergent. We sat on the ground against a big tree. We watched how we walked in and saw plenty of deer. As...

I never heard them around the house I grew up in but when I moved to the house I'm in now, I hear them a lot now. I love hearing them. Ain't nothing like all the night sounds in the Spring and summer!

I only hunt local so 10 minutes to the property. I only spent money for a license and occasional odds and ends. I have processed my own the past few years. Every now and then I'll have a taxidermy bill but that's rare

I have a pair of Muck Woody Max that I wear some and a pair of Danner Vital boots I just bought. I had some LaCrosse boots that finally gave up on me this past season.

I remember as a kid going to grandma's and they didn't have a lot of storage room since there was 4 people in a single-wide trailer. But there would be jars of deer meat stashed under beds and stacked in corners everywhere. My sister cans their bear and deer meat and it is really good.

I've been reading some of y'alls stories and figured I'd post one from Thanksgiving day. I had been pretty discouraged this year having not seen one good buck. I had seen a lot of does and small bucks but nothing good that I wanted to shoot. My dad never has been a hunter but has always enjoyed...

I'm ok with the dates for the most part. I don't particularly like hunting late September because it's still hot. So if anything, maybe take the first 2 weeks of season and tag it to the end of the season. So have bow start the 2nd weekend of October and let gun continue to the 3rd week of...

Congrats
