    Getting nerdy with the maps

    I give QGIS the nod, especially for anyone that wants to do a bit more query based GIS. QGIS can read, write to ESRI shapefile, Google Earth kmz, and many other formats, such as postgres spatial objects. One can even call in Google Earth imagery within QGIS as long as you have an Internet...

    Arrow Rests (Limb Driven)

    While the wiggle room pre-draw can be be a distraction, I've never had an arrow not raise or be out of center with a limb driver. Many years ago I was fortunate enough to test a cable vs limb rest and noticed my groupings, greater than 30 yards, were tighter with the limb driven, so went with a...

    Google Earth Question

    What version are you running? Help - About Google Earth (will bring up the version number). Mine is at Google Earth Pro 7.3.4.8248 (64-bit). And just so we're on the same sheet of music - here's a snap shot of where historical imagery is located.

    Checking Trail cameras yet?

    Great to see them in the summer, but if past seasons are an indicator, they will disappear just as the season opens!

    Would you hunt a 2 acre property?

    You are hunting your property so go for it! Getting permission for tracking and retrieval, should be easier than asking permission to actual hunt their property. While we can never predict what the animal will do after the shot, always good to ensure you do things right on your end - a very...

    HuntStand vx OnX

    I just started using Huntstand, so can't speak for others but I like the offline maps as well as the desktop version, where I can upload a kml or upload trail cam photos and link them to a specific cam/location. Have been using the free version just to get a feel of the product and really like...

    Would you shoot the first doe?

    In some areas shooting does is part of proper management, in my area the DGIF mandates hunters to take two does prior to using a second buck tag. Keeping populations at stable levels is good herd management, in addition it may just expand the movement of bucks during the rut... if there's not a...

    Would you shoot the first doe?

    Where I'm at it's earn a buck for your second buck, you must take two doe and before your third buck, (I rarely get a chance at 3 bucks), you must take three antlerless. Our doe season starts in September and our buck season starts in October, so I'm trying to knock the does down prior to when...

    Venison shank

    All sinew is not the same, the stuff you find on the backstrap would take forever or not even cook away, unlike like the stuff found in the shanks. I find if done properly the shanks come out tender and sort of buttery - maybe due to the melting of the sinew, either way that's a cut that I now...

    Arrow wraps

    I like them for fletching and blood identification. I feel not much is needed to have blood show well, 2 " Blazers with 4" wraps.
