Those DSLR pictures are amazing! I’m trying to get back into hunting as I haven’t gone since middle school and the TFR thread has helped me figure some things out. Looking forward to this thread as well!

HamAdams posted:I’m in upstate NY and can anecdotally say I knew a guy who would quarter and pack out his deer because he hunted a particularly hard to access area, but I have no idea if it’s actually legal. I’ve always just gutted and dragged since I have the luxury of hunting private land with 4 wheeler access Growing up we were private land too so it was gut, stick it in a pickup bed, rinse the cavity and hang it in the barn before we took it to a processor. I figure I’ll put the seats down in my Rav4 and have a tarp to catch anything left after I field dress my potential future deer. I will update on how bad of a decision this turns out to be this fall.

Thanks for that post! I took my bow out to the local haybales and did some shooting this morning. I have a ways to go before turkey season this fall, but it was good to get some shots in. I acquired my bow from a friend’s parents on a whim and have been doing various things to improve it. I put a new sight on this spring and am working on replacing my arrows as one hit the steel backing on a haybale today and is no longer an arrow, just a shaft and some fletchings!

Flatland Crusoe posted:It’s just very American. To build on this, most states partner with the national nonprofits involved in species conservation to educate hunters. The National Wild Turkey Foundation, Ducks Unlimited and Pheasants Forever all want to get more people engaged with their respective game animals, and Minnesota has an optional state run online class for deer. The book of rules from the Department of Natural Resources is there in a box wherever you buy a tag. I went to a hardware store for my tags and they had a big stack of DNR booklets. https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/gohunting/learn-hunt-opportunities.html I’m also spacing on which goon is involved with a local chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers which is an advocacy and education organization in the US and Canada.

charliebravo77 posted:I'm involved in BHA as well as IL's Learn to Hunt program as a mentor. As I mentioned in the OP, R3 is a big concern for conservation orgs and state agencies right now. Well the squirrel hunting talk in the TFR thread has made a future squirrel hunter out of me. I think I'll get a small game license and bring my .22 next weekend when I'm chasing deer with my bow. Having a cooler full of ice should keep the squirrels until I get home and turn them into stew. It might be just having my .22 on my shoulder when I'm doing mid-day trail work if I can't carry that and my bow at the same time, but I should be able to take home a few squirrels if they are as active as they were last weekend.

Checking my DNR regs, I can have my squirrel gun with me while I'm bowhunting deer so I'm all set there once I pick up a license.

What apps do you all use to check trail camera pictures when you are in the field? I have an adapter to match my iPhone to the SD card, but there seem to be a bunch of janky apps out there for SD card readers.

Flatland Crusoe posted:I have the actual Apple SD to lightning connector and it’s even spotty to use at best with the Apple photo import app. It seems to depend on the SD card and the latest IOS screw up as to whether or not it works. I hate wrestling trail cams. Good luck! Outrail posted:I have an Anker USB C reader adapter that works with android to make it as though it's just another folder in my phone. Works pretty well for a $20 piece if plastic. Thanks! I bought a two pack camera thing off Camofire that was made by Stealth Cam and had an adapter, but I couldn’t figure out how to get my phone to read the card. It pointed me to iBrary which was the app that I wasn’t sure about initially, but it seemed to work ok once I poked around with it some more.

Very nice! Picking up my venison from the processor soon! For those wondering, you can move a deer in the back of a Rav4 if you put a tarp down. Or no tarp, but that involves more cleaning afterwards.

We filled our buck tags the first day, but the does in my bag limit are taking longer. It is back to bow season for me so I put in a few hours in a tree saturday morning and will be doing more on Sunday.

Nice tent. I bought a used one that was the right price, but it may find a new home if I upgrade next year.
