    2025 EHD?

    Because we already have a surplus of deer and hunters themselves are not killing enough of them in most areas. You won’t see a reduction in tags unless it’s needed.

    Booner Survey....

    I’ve been close several times but haven’t gotten one that big yet.

    Seek One's Lee Ellis

    😂 I thought about Ric and Ron the entire time I watched this video.

    2025 EHD?

    I’m fairly certain that each year we’ve had a devastating/noticeable impact by EHD, the following year has shown a reduction in bag limit in affected counties… at least, when it’s been necessary. To say that the DNR doesn’t care or doesn’t do anything in response, is simply false. And if you...

    2025 EHD?

    I would argue there are a lot of areas today we have MORE deer than we did during the time period you’re remembering.

    What did you do for the deer today?

    If anyone has an established clover plot, now would be a great time to mow it one last time before the bow opener. Moisture and cool temps in the forecast are going to lessen the stress on your clover. And, timing-wise, the regrowth (annd resulting attractiveness) should be perfect for late...

    2025 EHD?

    EHD is very interesting to me. In my area of NW/NC Ohio, we have as high or higher a deer density as anywhere else in the state… Yet, we are almost never noticeably affected by EHD (knock on wood). Why is that? Is it because we have ample water supplies nearby? Even on a drought year, like...

    Food, what are you eating?

    Honestly, I was a Sam’s Club hater for years. Then I broke down and got a membership a couple years ago… Now I love that place. They have a lot of keto- and carnivore-friendly items and I like the convenience of the scan-and-go feature in the app. Plus, $1 for ice cream is pretty awesome too lol.

    The Farm w/ No Name - Habitat Projects

    Doesn’t get much better than some much needed Tractor therapy!

    Truck Opinions....

    Actually I’d get the same Lakeshore Blue as my current truck. It looks flat-out tough with the black wheels, trim, and badging.

    Truck Opinions....

    Really wish I would’ve waited until 2025 to get my truck. They didn’t offer the 2024 2500’s in a Trail Boss option. It’s reeeally tempting to trade mine in on one. They aren’t really sharp trucks.

    EHD Fense

    Snake oil. But I bet they’ll sell a bunch of their product if they invest in a good marketing program. Deer hunters are gullable, easy targets, as a whole… myself included at times.

    Food, what are you eating?

    Honestly I don’t remember. I think I might’ve found them at a local Bassetts Market.

    Food, what are you eating?

    From September 2024 through about March 2025, I fasted for 72 hours once per month. This was a great reset and, paired with a keto diet approach, really helped me shed the unhealthy fat around my mid-section. I went from 205-210 down to my current weight, floating between 170 and 175. Haven't...

    New Binoculars

    My workhorse-do-everything binoculars are Vortex Vipers in 8x42. IMO they’re the perfect balance of size/weight, magnification, and light gathering capability. Simple but incredibly effective.
