I’m sure your choice of stands for your situation in so. Texas is alright in the eyes of the traditional community. Do what’s best for you, Leo. Personally, I prefer hunting on the ground, which I feel is a pretty exciting way to go. I mean, trad guys hunt from tree stands all the time, so I don’t see why hunting from a tripod would be any different. IMHO Wayne

I’ve declined a lot of requests to write medical articles for a number of magazines over the years, mostly because I like to keep my medical background separate from my outdoor interests. I may have written the piece you are referencing for Bowhunter or another magazine a long time ago… but I can’t find it! In fact, I’m notoriously bad about carrying medical supplies on hunts, unless I’m serving as camp doctor for others on an extended wilderness trip in a remote location. If there is sufficient interest, I could do such a piece for TBM sometime–or assign it to another qualified party. Don

I think it would be a good idea to have such information in an article,Don. I’m sure your readers would soak it up and find it a pertinant subject. Wayne

Hope you have some luck again,Dave, and some stories to share with us again from your Coues’ hunts. I’m sure you can spare us some tidbits without compromising future publishings of yours. Wayne:)

in reply to: Who's Hunting the Late Season? #57581

I’m like you,Brennan,I’ll be out to fill my doe tag here in Ohio with my slug gun,then back out with the long bow to try for my buck. May go out after work at three if it isn’t raining like they call for tomorrow. I’d rather take my doe with the bow on the ground.

I’ve called without seeing deer,which as you say is “blind calling”,:oops:

I’ve been guilty of blind calling ….I’ve had my scent hung out,then used my can. I’ve had does come back that I’d seen and then called and in a while they were there looking for the doe and dragging back a buck with them. I didn’t have a shot because by the time they got back the light had gotten too low to take a good shot.
Thanks for answering my question,sir.

Mr. Wesbrook, I have had similar experiences like you and can attest to their working well, but I wondered why you don’t blind call, if you mean you don’t call from a ground blind.:? Wayne

Yeah,Steve,you’re right…..calls and scents don’t always work. And excessive use can spook and educate the deer we hunt. But, we try to get them before our gun seasons begin every year. And then after gun season(like Duncan said) our job gets really tough. 🙁 Especially late season when I’m put freezing my “can” off. Wayne

Steve,I’ve had both grunt(during the rut) and Primo’s doe bleat can call work for me on more than a few occasions….and I’ve used attractant scents that just worked the other day. Maybe you’re holding your mouth wrong.:lol:
Sorry, but I couldn’t resist. Wayne 🙄

Sounds like it was a successful trip.Nice to get away and be one with nature for a week. I’m content to sit in my blind for a few hours while nature does her thing around me. Wayne
