    Still loosing sleep over this

    Above 50 percent chance he's still alive in my opinion. I'm one of those weirdos that leaves cell cams up year around at strategic locations on my spots and every March and April when I start analyzing what coming through I'm always surprised at the lethargic and sickly conditions the deer...

    Hawaii bound

    I'm heading down in February 2024, wife's brother lives in Honolulu and I've been scoping out the waianae kai reserve in the northwest part of the island. I already submitted my hunter safety exemption for my home state and so now all that's left is tags and licenses which I'll get once we...

    Hunting Public Land Oahu, Hawaii

    I'm in a similar predicament, pretty serious Midwest bowhunter, have done a few elk trips out west, hogs in Tennessee, etc...no stranger to hiking or walking with a heavy pack. I've got a brother/sister in law that live in Honolulu, planning a trip down either this July or next February and...

    Mississippi River Northern Illinois public land hunting

    Does anyone have any experience hunting the state parks along the Mississippi River (Illinois side)? I was talking to a guy who said he hunted those parks pack in the 80s and early 90s and you could only get to them by boat. He said they had tremendous luck and would set up a base camp along...

    What do you do with your venison?

    Wondering what folks do with their venison. I grind most into sausage except the rear loins, back straps, and tenderloins. Cold smoke for 10 days and air dry for 4-6 weeks. I've heard from friends is the best meat they've ever had. Anyone else doing anything similar? Id like to dehydrate...

    whitetail backstrap

    I just got back from a 3 day camping trip in central Wisconsin and we tried pepperocini marinated backstraps and roasts. HOLY CRAP. We even had two non hunters in the group that have never had venison who said it was incredible. Take a whole backstrap section and marinade in a bag with 2...

    What do you wish you’d done differently on your first western hunt?

    This is all excellent advice. My first time was on the Continental Divide in Colorado GMU 161. My biggest regret is camping down in big red and traveling by ATV 20 miles per day to the top of the divide. I regret that immensely and wished rather to have embedded myself in the wilderness more...

    Some Forest Preserves have programs designed so that the draw winner can have an entire forest preserve assigned to them for the duration of hunting season.
