Team 7 Thread - Bucknificent Seven

Wow, good luck to you, hope there are more silver linings.

 

A little good luck is better than none at all.

Do you have flood insurance to help cover the repairs?

No flood insurance. Don't live in a flood zone. This neighborhood has been around since the 50s and not a single house has ever been flooded. This was a historical event and insurance companies are not paying for it. I've applied for FEMA and just waiting to hear back.

It's the sh!ts when insurance uses a loophole like that to get out of paying. There were similar stories here a year go when our little town experienced a "100 year flood". Homes that were never supposed to flood got flooded and had no insurance coverage.

To my mind, if you live in a flood plain then flood insurance should be bought. If you don't live in a flood plain, and a freak of nature happens then regular insurance should cover it just like any other kind of storm related damage.

What do I know, I'm not an insurance policy inventer.

I just ordered myself another face kit for my Bulldog Doghouse FP target. This is the third one I think since I originally bought it.

For a measly $12.95 for shipping, my target will go from worn out junk to like new.

I'm sure things will pick up some once more of the team member's seasons open up.

23 Days until I hit the woods, going out this weekend to make some mock scrapes and some licking branches.

So far I have only had doe and fawns on my wireless camera, hoping the bucks start moving in before the season starts.

 

What do you put on your licking branches? Or do you just rough them up and what do you use for your scrapes?

I just started "creating" licking branches two years ago after hearing about it from a neighbor who practices QDMA. All I do is find a branch on a travel route or field edge that has soft bark, I love using apple trees, and I bring it closer to the ground. I will use paracord to tie off the branch closer to the ground and then I just rough up the ground below it and rub some Code Blue Tarsal Gel on the branch. I have not always used Code Blue but I like the gel over liquid as it seems to last a little longer. For scrapes I have been using the Tinks Power Scrape Starter, seems to work well and I can add it to a dripper if I want to.

 

I do the same thing, I even cut a small sapling to put in my food plot to use as a rub/scrape tree. I usually have a lot of does use it.

Sounds like a plan. Thanks guys!

I've also heard that it helps to urinate in the nock scrape to help get it jump started.

Right now I have plenty of tracks passing my stand but have yet to see a live deer. I added a mock scrape about 40 yards to the east and will put my camera on it today to see what I get and at what time of day. Might have to move my stand.

I think I'm in a good spot but of course you have to hunt where the deer are and not where you think they should be.

The journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step.

Looks like step one is behind you.

Before and after pics of my Bulldog target warranty repair. This time I took it down to the frame instead of just going over the top with the new face kit. Took off three layers all together.

Yikes, praying for you and keep us updated on the progress.

 

I'll be getting out tomorrow am,on public land since they revoked the rights to the private land I was going to hunt. Actually they decided to lease it out to another person for hunting and didn't even consult with me, which I thought was pretty rude oh well, at least I still have some land to get out on, but probably won't be bringing in a big buck this year like I was hoping to

 

Good luck. What is your public land strategy? You scout out a specific spot ahead of time or are you going to pick your tree based on sign that you find at the time?
