    Scent smoker set up?

    I have an old pantry cabinet that I put outside under a overhang, drilled a hole on the side down low so the bee smoker end fits in it. As i am getting ready to go hunting I start up the smoker and lean it up against the hole to fill it with smoke. I have noticed that the inside smells like...

    Hunting scrapes

    What do you guys think about the direction the scraps are made. I would think the scrape would be pointing in the direction of the scrape line, so if I worked my way back towards the open part it should lead me to where they bed. But that is assuming it's coming out in the morning. I will have...

    Hunting scrapes

    I have a trail cam set up at another scrape that I made and had a spike come into it. The scrape that is getting hammered I pissed in last week but didn't set my cam by it because it's close to a hiking trail and will prob get stolen. I do believe it's only a small 6 but I do want to start...

    Hunting scrapes

    Any info anyone can give on hunting scrapes. I am starting to hunt differently as I get older and try to get bigger deer. I am hunting some scrapes right now but haven't seen anything, I only get out in the afternoons and not to often because of work. Has anyone found a pattern as to when bucks...

    Question about state parks

    How are the state parks south east of Columbus for hunting pressure. Looks like a lot of acres to hunt but at same time I hear the public land gets hit hard in ohio.

    Opinions?

    Just looked at them and will order one, thanks for the info. That's the only issue I have with my lone wolf

    Opinions?

    B or c based on the seat. I have a lone wolf like A and the straps that hold seat on kill the sides of my legs after a while

    Question about state parks

    Hey guys, in my research in moving to ohio in the future I realized I will have to get a house close to Columbus with not much land. So I started looking at state parks such as tar hollow state park. My question is can you park anywhere along the park roads and walk in,by me most state parks...

    From nj looking to move

    Yeah I can't stand the city either,but I figured it would be good work wise. Seems like decent land 30 minutes out south or east of columbus

    From nj looking to move

    Good to know and thanks, I will definitely give you a pm when the time gets closer. Right now I want to pay bills off so I have no debts when I make the move,which won't be for at least two years or so. Best part is that's it's still a reasonable drive back to nj for holidays. I already found...

    wafers, do you use them

    This year is the first time I'm going to try nothing but scent control. I used the scent wafers past years and never seemed to help,some say the deer still get alarmed because of the stronger scent

    From nj looking to move

    I do 99% residential. I work by myself also. What I've been trying to do is look on craigslist and see what electrical jobs are offered in different areas, if I find one that has a bunch then I know there's some work around. I know the pay will be less but everything is cheaper and I will have a...

    Kisses button and peep?

    I use both. The best thing I ever got was the trigger release. I used to have a problem of letting go of bow to quick because I shot a recurve for a while. Make sure the draw weight and length are set up for you, you may be getting tired. One other thing to try is a wrist strap so you don't grip...
