just some random pics! all of these deer were taken by people in my family all shot within 20mi of my gparents house

more mounts shot off of our land

beer&bones was one of the originals....not sure of the other one right off the top of my head. Regardless, welcome to team and let the countdown begin for opening day. I have 35 days.

palmergt3- Can I come hunt with you?[8D]

Nice mounts

sideways that was back in the day before all these yahoos started coming from out of state and buying up every piece of property that they could get there hands on around north platte ne and not to mention jay novachek starting a hunting lodge there to.

So, what does everyone hunt besides deer? I am getting ready for dove this SAT. and Duck / Goose after that. This will be my first year with a retriever of my own. I have a 10 month old Boykin. Don't expect too much out of him his first couple of trips but his training is going great. He is now running blind retrieves finding the bumper with just his nose.

Here are some early pics

I hunt mostly deer, turkey hunt in the spring. I go dove hunting a few times the first week or 2 of September, then my focus is back to deer hunting. I tried snow goose hunting a few years ago. I never could get into it, so I gave it up.

I hunt the NEpart of Iowa. Close to the Iowa/Wisconsin/Illinios border. There is great deer hunting up here, but I've heard it is a lot better in Southern Iowa

Slo-pitch, pretty dog. My wife and I love chocolate labs...but we can't bring ourselves to getting on. We stuck too much time in remodeling our house and refinishing our floors for a dog....any my wife would feel bad leaving it outside.

I typically just bowhunt deer, shotgun hunt deer, diehard turkey hunter, and just chase around other small game when I'm not in a treestand. Next fall I should be drawn to hunt bear in Northern Wisconsin. I'm finding out it takes forever to draw a tag. This was my six or seventh point/year applying. So next year should be for sure.


Other than hunting what does everyone like to do for fun?

My group and me are pretty hardcore waterfowlers. I consider it just as much a part of my life as bowhunting is. We hunt geese almost every morning and when ducks open up we are balls deep in them. Last year we shot 107 geese before October (season opened Sep 1). Tons of geese by us. We have a couple fields we hunt and have spots on Lake Michigan aswell. We also make a yearly trip to North Dakota each year for a duck and goose slam. I also gun deer hunt, small game hunt, turkey hunt, and do plenty of fishing.

Heres a pic from last year in North Dakota.
