    Great day in the deer woods

    I usually shoot heart or lungs. But in this situation shoot shoulders. But curious yall have to track muzzleloader shot deer? I've only shot 3 with a .50 muzzy but all died within sight.

    Upcoming Cold Front 11/11-11/12

    Its not really keeping up with evey single doe. No one is honestly implying they have done vaginal swabs or something silly. But we've all seen a doe in heat wondering where her beau was, bleeting and carrying on. And for his hunting area, he always has a doe come in on that day. Most likely has...

    Cheatham WMA - Where to start?

    Why we miss?

    I have anxiety. Not in the casual, socially jokey way people say in casual conversations. I have the "talk to professional counselor" level anxiety. I go to therapy and do things to cope and all. I live a mostly normal life (except for my whitetail fanaticism lol), self employed small biz owner...

    Recommend a good field dressing knife

    I second this! I got a kit from this brand for Christmas that included a bone saw. Killer stuff. Did yours have the razor blade one for slicing and trimming meat off the bone?

    Looking for advice...

    My biggest advice regarding ground hunting is wherever you sit, try to ensure your silhouette is broken up. if you're using a tree, make it be wide as your shoulder. Also I take a "Thermaseat" which is a covered waterproof 3" thick foam pad to sit on. Keep your tush warm and dry hahahaha! and...

    Looking for advice...

    I hunt public a lot and the 4wheelers and SxS are in use constantly. TWRA puts giant boulders at some spots and I've showed up to hunt, seen one of the boulders moved and the ramps still laying off the tailgate
