    Quiet Turkey pants

    I love the corrugate foundry’s for turkey with the knee pads for crawling around, but they are super loud. I put a pair of special hiking pants from Predator camo over the top to be quiet and match the green foliage better where I hunt. They are thin and stretchy and you will want some sort of...

    MEAT your maker products

    I have the little 500 watt grinder/stuffer. It punches above its weight and did two elk and 3 deer easily this year. It Outshined my brothers LEM that cost over 5 times as much. Their stuff seems to be simple and work well.

    Broadhead Success stories

    2022 whitetail buck shot 9 yards frontal. Ironwill 200g single bevel hand stropped to razor sharp. Passthrough with arrow sticking out of back ham. I aimed a bit higher than I should have and only got 1 lung missing the top of the heart and the major circulatory intersection so he took off and...

    Iron will field points worth it?

    I have a set of the IW field points. The big annd only con for me is they aren’t cheap. However they are extremely durable and the shape allows for easier pull from targets and has saved me some arrows/nocks. Not sure how to describe it, but if you group close and hit the nock of an arrow The...

    Help choosing ideal chambering/rifle to shoot lead free projectiles.

    Form, any plans to test the 95g in the 6UM? Very curious how that would go.

    So, you went smaller caliber, but not down to .223…

    I agree. It was cup and core and edited my post but similar not ideal performance on deer. I was 12 and used what was provided in my rifle. Even at that age I was underwhelmed with the results doing the necropsies and saw results from nosler BTs in 30:06 and thought that seemed like a better way...

    So, you went smaller caliber, but not down to .223…

    Started with .243 and cup and core bullets and hated the results. Then moved to a 30:06 for a while with 165g ballistic tips were awesome but I hated shooting it. Currently using my 300wsm suppressed and putting my 6.5x55 tikka in a chassis to be an all around killer. I love the suppressed wsm...

    Corned venison recipe?

    2nd for Hank’s. His venison recipes have never let me down. On the larger cuts such as elk I 1/2 or more to ensure a better brine.

    Northern Wisconsin Big Woods...

    To the OP-you certainly can have success up there with some time, effort, and scouting. Population is down from the early 2000s and way down from the hay-day of the 50s-70s. Wolves have certainly had some impact but the habitat is the larger variable. When logging was very consistent the...

    That sounds like a great annual trip. Sorry to hear of those close passing, that area is awesome I used to hunt in the Hayward/minong area for 20 years. Tough hard earned hunting but beautiful country and learned a lot.

    FNG from Wisconsin

    New joiner from Western Wisconsin. Joined a couple months ago and figured I would introduce myself. This is a great community here and I have learned a ton already. I mostly hunt archery/rifle public land whitetail and spring turkey in Wisconsin the past 22 years. I also hunt/have hunted some...

    Hunting Public Land

    I echo the scouting more as others have stated. It depends on the size of the properties, geography, terrain as well that you hunt. I hunt Wisconsin/MN/IL so take this with a grain of salt and apply what works to your geography/situatuon: If it is feasible to do so, checking out spots early...

    Locator Call

    I highly recommend the Hook’s custom calls hootin stick! I have a peacock call, cheap crow call and usually owl hooted with my mouth for years, but this call took it to a new level. Much farther range and realistic sounding. Shane Simpson on YouTube has some good tutorials running an owl call...
