I di this 2 years ago in Florida and I was part of the 1%. 8 hours on stand and only saw one piglet. I'm sure most everyone that does these hunts gets a crack at pig but it is not guaranteed.

Thanks for your opinion. I assume you do think it's worth the trip to hunt private land.

Fletch, it sounds like you have experienced deer hunting in a lot of different states so I'm going to ask for your honest opinion. I'm from New Hampshire and come to Ohio for 1-2 weeks every year. It's about a 14 hour drive but it's worth it to me for the adventure of hunting a different state...

When my buddy and I hunted with Brock this year we stayed at Holly Hills. We didn't hunt birds because we there to deer hunt but I got a good look at his operation. It's top notch for sure. And if you decide to spend a night or two Deans wife makes the most unbelievable home cooked meals. We...

So here's a few questions? If you apply and get turned down you don't get a preference point? If you apply for an Iowa tag and want a preference point you pay a total of $599 ($123 for license + $426 for tag + $50 for a preference point? Can you just buy a preference point and not a license?

I had mine done just after Christmas in 2014. I'm now a little over a year since surgery and feel pretty good. I still have some scar tissue issues but that's it. I was throwing batting practice by late July and started shooting my compound in August. It's probably all been said but here's my...

I agree. Still doesn't give him the right to tresspass. Hopefully he stays off from now on.

By the way Brock, I'm pretty sure your trespasser is the guy who gave us a ride back to Deans the day my keys got locked in the truck.

Yup. Any one of those would have looked nice in the back of my truck. Of course it's hard to see deer when it's almost 80 degrees out every day. That sure was strange for late October but oh well that's hunting.

Dean coaches baseball? I wish I could have seen that when we were there. Definitely would have been worth the price of admission.

I got talked in to buying these at my local shop when they first hit the open market in early 2012. I was skeptical about the price ($15 each) but they have been great. I still have 5 or 6 of the original dozen I bought. They are fast, hit hard and are very durable. Only negative is you are...

I think it started a little slow but it gets better quick. It's one of those shows that crosses the line of reality and TV. You see stuff on the news and wonder how it effects Walter and Jesse. Of course than you realize Walter and Jesse aren't real. We should finish the series this week.

We got an Amazon Fire Stick for Christmas and have been watching Breaking Bad. We only have 4 episodes left in the series and I have to say it ranks right up there with my favorite series of all time, The Sopranos.

Yeah, I thought that would make a good gun spot. I think setting up in the draw might be good early season when the neighboring corn is still up.

Ok. I see it now. I was thinking it was the field near the woods with the 2 man ladderstand in it. Have you ever gone back to check out Coon Island for sign? Just curious to know if that turned out to be a good spot or not.
