    Ever get tired of the photos?

    I see these photos of bucks and the guys straining to push it out to look bigger. Why not prop it up with a stick and get back 10 feet?

    How will a buck react?

    Just saw a picture of a guy holding a trophy and the hillside behind him was snowed, pretty vivid. Assuming the buck was bedded - how would a mature buck react if a hunter worked across the hillside, across the valley? Say 1,000 yards away? Would he relocate or would he just watch the orange...

    I'm looking for something easy to sip and savor. Would like a caramel/vanilla/nut/oak kind of thing. We primarily drink whiskey/bourbon (Jack, G Jack, 4 Roses, Makers Mark, W Turkey, etc.) and a few other things - brandy is nice but I don't want it that sweet. Tried a scotch last night and...
