  1. Michigan Predator Hunting
    Dialed one up tonight with the old primos double cottontail. Came flying in after my first calling sequence right around the 2 minute mark. Stopped around 60 yards for about 10 seconds, lip squealed a bit and then she ran all the way to me and I shot at about 15 yards. It has been a few years...
  2. Michigan Predator Hunting
    In the past I had my taxidermist skin them to a trappers grade and then send out to be tanned. That used to cost me $80, this year I am being told about double that and don’t really care that much to have them I guess. I don’t really wish to take up skinning either. I’d be happy to donate a...
  3. Deer Cam Pictures
    Now that you’re here, I thought I’d share a pretty cool picture from this morning. If only I could get a clearer, daylight pic so species ID could be more definitive…
  4. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    Shout out to Nature’s Pride in Concord for a nice mount back to me in under 10 months! I went with an OTS full sneak left turn and it came out pretty nice I think. I also had not noticed the double throat patch either. Just in time to go get another one!
  5. Deer Cam Pictures
    Got these in a series of pictures last night. The big deer is an extra large bodied (I believe) 4 year old I named Mark last year. The little guy is probably going to run off all my good bucks over the next few seasons. They were locked up for about 30 minutes. Half the pictures are blurry so...
  6. Deer Cam Pictures
    A bit of a downer picture year so far for me. How about a score poll for my top prospect.
  7. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    I’ll preface this by saying I’m not posting this for congratulations or any sort of self glorification. There’s probably nothing anyone could say to make me any happier with my deer from this year. I’m really just curious about how much of a genetic freak this deer “Richard” actually was...
  8. Whitetail Deer Management
    Since all the new potential regulation threads and polls regarding OBR, APR, Hunter choice etc. get a lot discussion and not much agreement I thought I’d try looking at it a different way. Let’s pretend that Ohio and Iowa are sick of being the big buck destinations that they have become...
  9. Whitetail Deer Disease
    So last night I’m watching the latest installment of The Hunting Public on YouTube. Greg whacked another stud with a muzzleloader just a day or two after Ted missed a real nice buck himself. Both were Iowa public land hunting. I really enjoy this channel and I will watch their stuff before any...
  10. Deer Cam Pictures
    My most consistent buck was gone for the entire month of December. Last pic I had was 12-1 until last night when he showed up again. September through November I never went more than 4 days without a picture of him and he was on 5 different cameras over 400 acres. He’s probably the one I was...
  11. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    After two years of trail cam pics and a couple close encounters, I finally was able to close the book on a deer I call Richard. He showed up on our Washtenaw county farm during gun season last year. Apparently he spent his summer and early fall elsewhere but when he came to our farm in mid...
  12. Deer Cam Pictures
    Have a few options on our Washtenaw county farm this year. Best year for trail cam photos by far. A few of these are flyers that we only have a few shots of but 3 of them are homebodies that we have been watching since September. For a farm that has always been somewhat of a nursery for young...

  15. Deer Cam Pictures
    Pulled my card yesterday. 3 weeks and 1600 pics, 11 different bucks. The only two that I would take at this point would be this 11 and 9 that I have been watching all summer. The tall 9 has sprouted a kicker off of his right side g3 that I never saw before. It's kind of cool looking. Now that...
