He probably got a better gig back in the Ag world. Let's not forget he was former head of the Dept of Ag in Ohio. You can forget about Ohio getting a conservation minded leader. The ODNR already cashed the check from the "group that has an interest in low deer numbers".

Wow! That's a toad for sure.

How much does that thing cost? Who is the marketing analyst that determined the going rate for a "fake tree"?

Grunting, I am unsure about it. I don't honestly, know of any buck that I saw or harvested because I grunted. Rattling is a completely different story. I know for a fact that I have seen no less than 10 bucks because I rattled, most of these are in the last 8-9 years and most on public...

Like Brock, I have never had one. If it would make me a better shot, I would consider it. I'd have to try one at a shoot or something.

I agree that deer can be conditioned. I have also seen mature deer trust their nose in VERY urban areas. When they smell you, they know you're there and if they can't see you then they get buggy and either high tail it or blow repeatedly and then high tail it.

I'll add that having control over that property is a huge factor as well. If a farm is known to hold a 160 + and 7 guys are hunting it. Your odds of scoring just went in the crapper. I'd rather be the sole Hunter on 25 acres than 1 of 4 hunting 100 acres given that each property is known to...

Wow! Couple of real slammers there!

Since I'm getting an Xbmc media player, I don't expect that to be a problem. Not having to pay cable or satellite on a monthly basis will be awesome!

Hey Phil! I've been busier than a cat on a hot tin roof. We're moving at the end of this month. So, I painted every room in this house, prep to sell, staging, all that crap. House on market for 65 days of basically feel like we're living in a fish bowl. Hopefully, in July, I can relax a...

Bumping this thread. We're moving, and I don't want Time Warner cable (only option) or dish. So, I'm looking at going cable-less. I have been doing my homework on these new Xbmc media players. You can stream anything, and a friend of mine got Sportsdevil for his which enables you to stream...

It would be cool as a TOO lease for sure!

Proposals are horse shit. Hell my county is 4 fuggin deer. Tonk is an asshole. Pure plain and simple. Fuggin farm bureau runs that whole fuggin show.

I betcha we don't see them reduce opportunity any time soon, eh?

Seems to me there are many who talk. I'm not just talking about some alliance organization either. Nobody will do anything. The DNR's all know this. Money talks and you all know the rest.

So, let me see if I got this straight. Tags sales are declining consistently due to lack of interest which is a result of poor management practices for several years. Thus, people are becoming more reluctant to participate. The response to that trend by the DOW will be to raise the cost to...

Ya know, I've been beating that drum too Brock. ;)

We have punched them in the pocket book a little: "The Division of Wildlife issued 535,676 deer permits in license year 2013-14, nine percent fewer than last year and the fourth consecutive year that sales have declined (Table 1). Permit sales for 2013-14 were off by nearly 14% from the peak in...

I think the fellas are trying to say that the "reported" numbers are a farce. They are indicating the actual kill is about 10% or so higher than the actual number "reported". Oh, and yes, I pulled that 10% right out of my butt! :D

I've never heard of it. Your outlandish claims have me more than skeptical. Ive called in some deer, but theyre not as dumb as youre making them out to be.
