Good year for acorns and the rut

Well here it is October 22 the leaves are falling pretty good and there are tons of acorns like I have never seen. from where I sit we had a very good rut.I know what you have been "brainwashed into thinking but that is what the MDC does.

Yes the peak of the rut is over but some of the best hunting is coming.Its called the frustration period which the MDC will never tell you..By now 80 percent of the does have been bred and it was the does that did most of the looking.Now there is only 20 percent that will come to estrus so the bucks will go looking far and wide and the leaves will be gone..They get stupid especially if they get a scent of a doe and thats when all your big fights start.I have been asked many times when doe;s the rut start and the most simple way is -when the bucks rub the velvet off it is time for the rut and you can bet on the 2 weeks in October when the moon is full is just about peak.

It varies very little from Canada to almost the Mexican border..If you are really into it you can start by observing when the fawns are born where you are and count back 7 months which is the gestation period...

MDC still has its head up its ass

Its been awhile but the MDC has not seen fit to right some stupid wrongs.As usual they have regulations that say such as "you can not help or shoot a deer for anyone else hunting with you"

but the next thing that comes out of their mouth is"its OK to shoot 2 or 3 and give them to a total stranger who does not even have a hunting license"Sounds just like WAshington DC logic..

Then we have the one about "baiting an area"My first question is "whats the size of an area??

Then landowners like myself spend all year keeping up food plots and the MDC comes along and baits the area by planting brassicas and stuff on corp land to draw the deer over there and away from the land owners..I just wish landowners would completly close their land to all hunters except for family ONLY no friends paid hunters zero..Then maybe the MDC will wake up when their cash cow quits on them.Its always about money and corruption and the hell with the people.I have to say one thing though,that magazine they put out is the best looking piece of brainwashing material I have seen anywhere.

Then finally is the matter of the MDC letting poaching with dogs go on..Same old story.When someone catches them The MDC has told them all you have to do is tell them your dogs are lost.Why don,t you try that guys.Shoot something and when you get caught just say you are lost and see how that goes..Maybe if you bark a little you can convince them you are a dog..

The MDC has still not seen fit to closing the use of dogs during ALL deer hunting seasons.Bow hunters,muzzleloaders included.

Kick the old people in the ass

It seems someone has screwed up my blog and I just now found it again.Maybe the MDC can not stand the truth..Nothing in the new laws have changed for the better,just more complicated.Thats what happens when you let lawyers write something.It seems they have a hard time with the English language and its true meaning..

It seems now the SUPER KIDDIES now have a season almost half as long as the regular super short as always season.While you old worthless goats who have supported the MDC since it started get ZERO,NADA,ZIP,NOTHING.You think maybe the old folks might get something,but NOOOOO.

Its clear to me that the MDC will keep their communist ways going by getting these "6yr old babies brainwashed into their way of thinking..Why not--their 40 year old Fathers are doing it..

It will backfire like most states because those kids are starting too young and most will go play a computer game.

Get rid of those electronics and learn something

I am sitting here most likely like alot of people hoping this forever rain and thunder to stop.I already know it has ruined my food plots and my garden.You can bet that the few turkeys that are on eggs will have them ruined also,but it is early in the season and they will lay more hopefully..

They are one tough animal..I watch them sit on those brances only as thick as your thumb all thru this wind and lightning all night and come daylight there they are still on the branch..Then I look at myself and others and think"you know humans must have been that tough at one time and wonder how did they do that..I have much better insight than most people because I am old now so I talked to people born in the 1800,s.I always thoroghly enjoyed talking to the old folks..

Nowadays you are lucky if your own kids talk to you...I learned alot from my elders and would like to pass it on,but it seems if you do not have some piece of electronic hanging on you these kids are deaf and dumb....

I know where the beef is but where are my turkeys ???

Here it is Feburary and its still way below normal weather.It has been a strange winter at my place..Normally we have hen flocks of up to 30 and gobblers up to 20 and jakes in the 4 to 6 range.I have NOT seen a gobbler or Jake this winter ZERO.Only have 2 groups of hens 6 to 10.
We do have more young deer coming around,but the older bucks are a big zero..I have looked around the woods which comprise several hundred acres and I am not seeing hardly any places where the deer or turkey are digging for food.I am worried and confused to say the least.We did have a very bad running dogs problem for almost a year and I know critters will let themselves be chased a few times and then they go somewhere else to live..They are not any different than you or me..I don,t like being chased either.As usual the MDC was totally worthless and infact a big hinderance..They actually protect the criminals that own these dogs.
