    Hortontoters 2024 Journal

    13 Cold and frosty this morning around freezing. Light NNE wind. Sun is just about to enter the creek bottom at 8:02. I saw nothing. Jeff saw the tall 6 at 10:00. Back on stand at 2:00. Mostly cloudy this afternoon with a light NE wind. Jeff saw a yearling and I had no action again. Nov 18...

    Random weather thread

    Lake effect snow is the worst. Always heavy and usually a lot comes down. When the lake freezes it helps, but the open water creates a real snow making machine.

    To many deer odnr

    I believe as hunters we could control deer numbers regardless of what bag limits the DNR institutes. But, that would require all hunters to be like minded to acheive a desired same goal. That's never going to happen.I see deer in trucks and on hitch mounted carriers in gun season that are no...

    To many deer odnr

    Most properties are not saturated with does unless they are off limits to hunting. Yes, I'm one of those that doesn't shoot does. But, I only control a small piece of property. Deer venture a 1/4 mile from me and they are no longer safe from hunters. Does my letting the does walk mean anything...

    To many deer odnr

    An hour of interesting reading. But, did it solve anything? We all have such varied ideas of what is proper in life, including deer hunting ethics and tactics. Some hunt over bait, I have before, for the last 10 years or more I have not. I think baiting should be banned, but this is just my...

    Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson

    20 millon bucks for 16 minutes seems to be a fairly good hourly wage. About 75 million bucks an hour. Although I wish Mike had knocked him out.

    2024 Rut Report. What County? Conditions?

    My neck of the woods in Carroll County has been devoid of any signs of the rut. Does are just going about their daily routines. Bucks could care less, they are acting as if they have a bad case of ED. Most activity on my cam has been at night. Did have one decent shooter come through in daylight...

    The Big 6: A deer story 19 Years in the making...

    Great presentation of what 19 years of ups and downs are all about. You do have a gift as a writer. Congrats on the big 6. Great to have history with your quarry. It always makes the end of the chase more rewarding. By the way, you have three beautiful children. I’m happy to know you have been...

    Hortontoters 2024 Journal

    Here are a few photos of Whiteface as he was within 20 yards of me om Nov.1. Definately a mature buck. He does still have his brow tines, how I didn't see them that evening is beyond me. He is now an 8 pt with the two G4's broken off.

    Veterans day IKS

    Dang, I'd be dead if I got shot it that spot TOO.

    Shot distance, would you?

    Not for me. I know a guy that killed a buck at 96 yards back in the 70's with a Jennings compound. It wasn't skillful, just luck that the arrow hit the right spot. I still like my shots at 20 yards or less. 25 yards would be stretching it for me.
