    How to White tail

    I’m far from stupid and have done this for a LONG time but iif Kory says it, take it to the bank. I’ve got ONE quote in life memorized: “trust but verify” He’s never told me anything like this that is inaccurate but I wouldn’t go WAY out of my way- if there’s a campfire, why not? But...

    How to White tail

    That’s far more practical. Not always doable…my place has one entrance, north end. Guess where the wind blows in the winter? I don’t even bother defeating their radars. They’re too good. Just play wind to the extent possible and make it quick, drop lower or something if you think you’ll be...

    NWOK, have a place in FL too. Profile pic is all I have from the largest whitetail I’ll likely ever see. Ran 600yds, peak rut- AWAY from doe. He didn’t get big by not being spooky. Stopped but I was shaking too hard to even shoot off of my tripod. I’ll never know how big he was. Miss my...

    Sorry for the length. Writing is cathartic. Hope it’s interesting or useful to someone…if not, my apologies for the intrusion.

    Get rid of predators if possible. I know the balance thing….I had a 160 leased, I was told it’s the best in the county. I once had to call my neighbor to come bail me out of my blind an hr after sundown, if I’d climbed down, I would have educated over 100 whitetails (no exaggeration). I had...

    Another random thought: Salt cedars are an invasive species out here, they’re green match sticks in wildfires, they’re also the best cover a whitetail could ask for. If it suddenly starts pouring rain or ice or snow….under a thicket of cedars is often as dry as being inside and if there are...

    I’ve learned a lot too. I’ll pass on a couple of thoughts. There are two kinds of outfitters (more accurately, two kinds of people) around me but I only personally know one. I befriended him, he was a friend of someone I trusted. A week out from open, he’s on the adjacent 160 wheat field...

    That said, I was a bird hunter- that’s it. Until the NRA gun of the year was won by yours truly. Most were envious I guess, I didn’t really want it- a .308 deer rifle. But I thought….if one is going to have a nice rifle, he ought to put a good scope on it and if it’s got a scope it would be...

    Intro/Lessons

    Let me begin by introducing myself. I got into deer hunting quite by accident. I didn’t really want to shoot a deer for a few reasons that are now stupid to me. Deer- or really any wildlife don’t lay down by a babbling brook or in a green field with the wind whispering and the sun shining to...

    Deer - lets see em

    And this is a week later. Rut had just about or entirely worn down, we’ve got cellular cameras at our protein feeders (2) and he was at the feeder, 500yds away or so, around the corner- out of sight. I told him to rattle, thinking to a big old toppy (as my best friend and pastor from S Africa...

    Deer - lets see em

    Wanted to start a new thread but I need 10 posts. I’m sure I have an OLD Acc’t here, just don’t have time for forums anymore. Here’s a video of the one I let walk. Well, can’t upload videos so how about a screenshot? I don’t shoot unless it’s better than the last one so I hoped to let my son...

    How to White tail

    Old Indian trick relative to cover scent: Sit downwind of a wood campfire before hunting. They don’t seem to smell you…even up close. Ok, it may or may not be an old Indian trick, I’ve never looked it up. It’s definitely a 40’s aged redneck friend of mine trick. My buddy has a deer camp...
