Folks. Who of you have recently bought a bow, maybe a first bow, or hunt with what might call an affordable, entry-level bow? I have a friend that hunts with an older bow, that almost looks like a toy compared to what's out there nowadays.
i've been looking for a ready-to-hunt setup (RTH) and was considering a Bear Mauler.
Any recommendations? 400 bucks would be tops maybe. Might buy.... Read More

I was wondering if any of you plan to bring your deer head/rack/mount to the Dixie Classic to get scored this year?
I went last year, and hoped to see some of the bucks I'd seen here, but couldn't really tell.
Maybe we can all get together and meet even. NONE of you know me, although it seems a good number of you here know each other.
Cheers.

Well, I DON'T see those, and in fact the pictures below are of the biggest buck I've ever seen (apart from growing up in Ontario, Canada. but I didn't hunt then). :(

Hey all. Shot my first turkey, a gobbler, this past spring. Exciting hunt. I've been working to mount the fan, and got it done last night.
I got an idea to do something a little different, and made a frame to enclose the tail and beard/spur/shell mount. Let me know what you think.
I still have a change or two I might implement. Like making the cover of the fan base a darker color so it.... Read More

Any bucks chasing does lately in eastern NC?
Got a chance to hunt some land on the Roanoke River with no real knowledge of the area. In general, there's pine on the uplands, dropping into valleys of hardwoods heading down to the Roanoke River. The fields away from the river were in cotton, and now all stubble. Down the road is soybeans, but I'm not able to hunt there.

So, it sounds like the bucks were chasing does already in the last week or so. Now we've had a big storm, and the deer seem to be holed up out here. We get cold weather, clearing conditions, and some eager bucks that barely got started and had to sit out for a few days.

Hey folks. Considering giving a Game Land a try this year. Wondering about protocol, so as to respect other hunters and farmers.
First, if you are trying to get in to hunt, and someone is parked along a road, do you drive by? I suppose it might make a difference depending on time of day.
What about game lands that have agricultural fields in their bounds? Can you drive in on those farm.... Read More

What lengths do you go through to be scent-free? And are rubber boots considered scent-free, or at least better than most other options?

Hey all. Looking for a climber stand. A couple of friends swear by the Summit Viper series. I can get a regular Viper for about 140 new it seems. An aluminum model runs a fair bit more. Can anyone attest to these stands? Staying under 200 bucks would be good for me.

Boy. Another 'newbie' question.
Do you use a light of any sort when going into your stand in the morning? Do you use a light all the way to it? A bright light? A headlamp? Red, green, white? If it's really dark, I don't feel comfortable w/o a light, but I don't want to scare the deers obviously. what say ye?

Hi folks. A friend gave me a Penn 650SS reel. Pretty big, with a line capacity of 12/400, 15/350, 20/220. Looking to find a surf rod for it. I don't go much at all, don't have a 4x4 truck, and pretty much go when I take the kids to the beach. Low budget.
Any recommendations on how to match this to a rod? I have an OLD 12' Garcia surf rod, but I'm thinking smaller than that. (shorter)

Going to take the family to Indian Beach tomorrow (Sunday) and am wondering if it's worth it to bring tackle along. Last year, I saw bait busting all day, and it was all I could do to bring in a bluefish and one pompano. Would love to load up on pompano (I hear it's hard to load up on anything on the beach). What else can I try for? Spanish? Are there flounder to be caught on the beach?

The SAD part is that the landowner owns land on both sides of the road. One side is getting logged at the moment. They might cross the road next.
