The 4 Month Bow Hunt: 2nd Edition
I guess I need to check back in and put this one to bed. I quit updating because I didn’t have anything positive to say lol. It was the worst most frustrating deer season I have seen in over 25 years. I saw less deer than I have in at least a decade. All the good bucks from early on were known...- KipCarson

2023 Hunttalk Thread of the Year
I missed the whining that apparently has killed the talkies, such a shame, I come and go in cycles around here and miss a lot. However, I do vote the offenders at least be listed in the Matt Rinella thread so they can be given the same treatment as the other thirsty influencers. Sounds like they...- KipCarson

Ameristep- 20 ft. Stick ladder
That’s a steal for someone, I’d love it but Bossier City Louisiana is a tad too far from Billings! -
MT District 302 lost Archery Elk found - Medicine Lodge
Whether you’re using a rifle, bow, or slingshot it’s obvious there are clowns in every genre of shooting. While butchering my bull that I killed with a BOW this September I found lead fragments low down in his brisket and he had a divot in the backstrap with lead fragments from a bullet that... -
My second buck of a lifetime.
Congratulations on an amazing deer! Hunting can definitely expose our selfish tendencies. It’s good that you can recognize when you’re pushing the limits of what’s acceptable. I know to many guys who don’t recognize it and don’t care. You’re also blessed to be able to put in the time that it... -
Mule deer in heavy timber
Get in there and hunt them from a treestand like whitetails. I’ve killed several that way under those conditions. Yes critter density is low and I’ve sat for days without seeing a thing sometimes, but sometimes it comes together and makes it all worthwhile.- KipCarson

The 4 Month Bow Hunt: 2nd Edition
Alright. I’ll be honest, I’m not even having fun this season. What started out looking like it was going to be a great year has gone downhill fast. Since my last check in here I have been able to hunt a good bit, I have moved cams all around, taken down and put up multiple treestands etc. My...- KipCarson

Do you get tired?
I never stop because of it, but boy do I ever get tired of it some years. I’ve got 4 straight uninterrupted months of deer season every year and by the time January 31st rolls around I’m always worn to a nub. Every spare minute I can squeak out I’m in the woods, my thoughts are in the woods even...- KipCarson

Sunrise/Sunset table
I don’t know if you can or not, I only use it in a duck blind where sounds didn’t matter. When I’m deer hunting etc I don’t ever look at shooting times. I bet unless you have your volume way up it won’t matter.- KipCarson

Sunrise/Sunset table
If you need sunrise sunset times for calculating exact legal shooting time load the Ducks Unlimited app on your phone. It has all that on there based on your current location. Example: At 6:17 tomorrow morning, 30 minutes before sunrise, the red will turn to green, giving you the go ahead to...- KipCarson

I didn’t say there was anything wrong with it! -
Kinda live Mississippi deer tracking thread
Good thread, I’ll be following along. A good friend of mine has a pair of Drahthaars that are amazing to watch on a track. I had one of them find a deer for me last year. Long story made short it was a marginal hit, so I backed out to let the dog try before I mucked it up grid searching. We put...- KipCarson

The 4 Month Bow Hunt: 2nd Edition
All day on Saturday and Sunday morning I only saw 2 doe. And once again I gave them a pardon. I did get to check my camera at the oak tree in Benton, and was surprised by a significant amount of daytime activity. A couple of days last week I had an eight point come by that I would be glad to...- KipCarson

Elk .... Let's see them!!!
A blast from the past that I came across at my parents house this weekend. The only surviving picture I know of from my first Elk 25 years ago, first animal with a bow. I was 15 years old here. I used to wear overalls all the time, more country than cornbread! I wasn’t hunting in them, I guess I...
