I recently started another form of hunting. Metal detecting is something I have wanted to do but just recently bought one and started. My church was started in about 1915. I've been told that when it started people would ride horses and wagons to church. I've also heard that the property was...
I decided to do wait a little longer to start my baits this year. It's about a three hour drive one way to my baits so instead of starting 3-4 weeks before the season, I started baiting about 18 days before the season. There is a lot of work in bear baits. Last year I accomplished a goal of...
Any of you guys into metal detecting? I have wanted to for a long time but wouldn't know where to start in regards to which one a beginner should start out with. Seems like it would be awesome to turn up some old coins around an old house place.
Any of you experts care to guess this bucks age based on his body? No need guessing his score. I killed this deer in early December 2011 in northeast Oklahoma and have always wondered how old he was. Back then I didn't care as much about age as I do now. Didn't save the teeth.
Yes that's a corn...
Sorry if someone already posted something about this, I didn't see anything. Just taking a moment to remember this sad day that affected us all. 😢 God Bless America.
I have been interested in Ibex in Spain. There are different sub species so not real educated on that or Spain in general. Sounds like a good time. Have thought about taking my wife someday and visit Spain while hunting there.
Anyone have any experience in Spain? Is it safe?

I got a new pup in January of 2022. I posted a few pics of his training progress over in the Hunting with Hounds section. Wasn't sure whether to post this in the Hounds section or Feathers section. I spent a lot of time dog training over the summer preparing for the upcoming duck season. It...
I have permission from a neighbor to hunt his wheat field. The geese hit the field pretty much every morning to eat the wheat. About 80 big Canada's and a single Snow with them. The field is mostly flat with no cover.
Can I get by with using a A-Frame? The blind is brushed with dead brown...
Over the summer I posted some about my pups training progress. Was trying to have him ready to hunt by this fall. I also wanted pups first hunting retrieve to be my 10 year old son Drake's first duck. All though Drake has shot the .410 a lot he recently has started shooting the 20 guage. With...
Feel blessed to have taken this buck. I have never killed a decent buck in October until this year. I have several trail cam pics of this deer. After reaching my goal of killing a black bear with traditional archery just 18 days earlier I really wanted to get this buck with trad bow as well but...
Rex is 11 months old today. I finished up T-drill awhile back and have been working on bird boy blinds/pattern blinds. Also have been working on casting drills in water and "swim by".
I felt pups confidence was strong enough to introduce him to cold blinds on land. I took him out today and hid 3...
Two years ago I shot a bear just before dark. Couldn't find it that night. Next day a gal brought her bloodhound to help me. Bloodhound made short work of the 300-400 yard track. I decided that day I was getting a pup. I have lost deer in the past and I hate that feeling.
I got Nancy (after...
Arkansas opener is September 17th Oklahoma opener is October 1st. I picked up a small lease last year that borders 1000's of acres on NF. Illegal to bait on public land in both states. I started hunting Arkansas as well since it's so close to my Oklahoma spot. That means two tags and Arkansas...
I have practiced hard this summer. Trying to fine tune my set up. I have been practicing with my broadheads but they seem to shoot to the right about 5"-6" compared to field tips.
That was shooting odd feather out. I turned the nock to make the odd feather in (against riser) and that seems to...
