    Hog hunting help

    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.

    Iowa

    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...

    Holly Hills - South Salem

    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...

    Iowa License Guidelines..

    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?

    the dreaded rotator cuff surgery.....

    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...

    Brock following Mason through the woods.

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

    Brock following Mason through the woods.

    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.

    Brock following Mason through the woods.

    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.

    Holly Hills - South Salem

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

    Hunting arrow

    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...

    Rate A Movie or TV Show That You Watched Recently

    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.

    Rate A Movie or TV Show That You Watched Recently

    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.

    Brock following Mason through the woods.

    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.

    Brock following Mason through the woods.

    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.

    Brock following Mason through the woods.

    Yup. Looks like the west side of the farm if I'm not mistaken.

    Brock following Mason through the woods.

    My thoughts exactly. Haven't been on much lately but I'm still rooting for you guys.

    Cutting the Cord: Eliminating cable or satellite...

    I looked in to this just before the holidays. We have Directv and have since 2007. My bill was up to $133. I called and told them the price needed to come down or I was going to drop them. They sent me to the retention department and I got my bill down to $67. I kept all my current channels and...

    Buck tag

    Two things to keep in mind Giles. 1. For every hot chick there's a guy who's sick of listening to her. 2. Fat chicks are like mopeds. Fun to ride but don't let your friends see you do it. Not sure if this helps you at all with your buck hunting but I thought it needed to be said.

    What would be your plan?

    I only hunt your state a week or two a year but I would imagine the Telecheck system has really helped screw things up. We still have the check-in stations here and I think it's important. I know it requires more effort from hunters and officials but that effort will give you honest numbers to...
