So, my question is this....do you think or know of research that has been done to back up that genetics determine the structure of antlers in bucks? This is why I ask. Looking at my first buck vs the one I shot a couple days ago, the structures look nearly identical. It's kind of hard to tell...

So, my bow is pretty much done for. I might be able to send it in to Matthews, but I'm not very hopeful that it'll be sent back in time for me to hunt this season. So....that kind of limits me to just a couple weeks of hunting this season since I dont have access to a crossbow or another...

Like the title says, it's nothing super special....But, it was a cool little 2 hour or so hunt. I'll give you the rundown in short detail. I call my dad at about 5:30 and asked if he wanted to go with me to shoot some pigs. He said he would like to, but he doesn't have his hunting license (he...

Just thought I would share what I had the pleasure of watching browse around last night with his buddy. Sorry the photo isn't very clear, but I'm just excited that I got to see him! The picture doesn't do the height and shape justice. This was taken last night on my way out of public state...

I'm looking at buying a new sight for my bow and was wondering if anybody here uses a single pin sight setup? Are there any significant pros vs cons between the single and multi pin setups? I like the idea that I can dial it in to 5 yard increments if I choose to do so. Is it a pain in the butt...

Do you hunt turkey for the trophy or for the meat? Both? I'm hoping to score my first bird this spring and will be happy with a nice mature tom regardless of how trophy worthy it is. After an amazing dinner tonight made up of peas, potatoes and grilled backstrap cooked medium rare, I'm excited...

So I realize this neck of THR is for those that like to hunt wild game. I assume this would be the best area to ask about hunting morrel mushrooms as well? Hunting IS hunting right? So where do you guys like to look? How do you determine when the time is right?? Tips and tricks for somebody who...

I've searched the internet in an attempt at finding factory loads at 70 or 77 grain TSX in .223/5.56 to hunt with. I want to stay with a full copper projectile which is why I've chosen Barnes. I'm not able to hand load as I don't have any manuals, tools or materials to do so. Any suggestions??

Does anybody dry age your game? How do you do it at home? Have you built something custom or used a fridge minus all the shelves?

So, with many states being close to opening day, what do you do to prepare other than the obvious? My tree stand will be in on the 8th or so, and I'm going to be setting it up at my folks' place to practice shooting from the air. I'm getting my gear gathered up and feeding regularly and getting...

So, I've gotten a few hundred dollars for my birthday and they're split between Cabela's and Academy. I've decided I do want to buy a tree stand and some quick sticks for the upcoming season as I feel like some places will do better with a tree stand and some places with a pop-up blind. I've...

So, I was just browsing through Oklahoma's Wildlife Department website since they released a 2017-2018 season magazine and discovered one of the most awesome things I've seen in a while as far as WMA's are concerned. I read that the state of Oklahoma was given a grant for just under $3M to...

So this past October/November I didn't have much choice other than to hunt with Winchester Power Point 64 gr ammo. When doing my preseason grouping I noticed that the Power Point ammo shot horrible groups from my rifle. Even at approximately 50 yards, I was shooting 6+ inch groups. I thought...

So, I've kicked around the idea of having the buck I shot last November scored just out of curiosity. I'm hoping it would score a 130 or so just if I had to guess. However, I'm curious as to if you would say this is a typical or atypical rack? I'm leaning toward atypical because of the way the...

So, like the title says....at what point do you really begin to get serious about prepping for deer season?? What do you do? What do you prefer? What have you had success with and what has been a big flop?? I'm thinking that I'm going to start hand spreading cracked corn, dumping minerals and...

Does anybody have any first hand experience with any affordable thermal scopes?? I'm not needing to reach out to 500 yards, but maybe 200 or so max.

What kind of rules does your state have? Is spring and fall season different? In Oklahoma during the spring, I'm only allowed one Tom in my county and it has to be taken with either a shotgun or by means of archery. However, in the fall you're allowed to take it by means of rifle, pistol...

Has anybody used a fan from a turkey as a decoy? I cut one off of a bird I saw on the side of the road this morning and want to use it as the fan of a decoy. How would I go about doing this so that the little tiny bit of meat doesn't rot and stink to high heaven? I figured sitting it in salt to...

An HK style front sight but instead of being square or rectangular, it's shaped more like ^ ?? I like using my HK style iron sights as they're fairly accurate, but I feel as if I would be more accurate if it were a sharper front sight with a white or fluorescent tip. Has anybody ever seen...

I'm posting this in hopes of potentially finding new hunting grounds. Perhaps you or somebody you know or are related to owns some acreage that is plentiful and maybe you don't hunt or have an abundance of wildlife to where one more hunter wouldn't put a dent in it? I'm seeking to deer, turkey...
