Manuel Bright+Followfound the secret to tracking mature bucks✌️Been studying sign all season and finally cracked the code on reading rubs and scrapes. Fresh scrapes with torn-up ground? That's your highway map to deer movement. The bigger the rub, the bigger the buck. I always set up downwind from active scrapes since bucks love checking them after rain storms to refresh their scent. Perfect trail cam spots too. What's the biggest rub you've found this season? #hunting #deerhunting #bucksign #huntingtips339Share

Manuel Bright+Followthis spot produces turkeys 90% of the timeNew to public land? Skip the fancy scouting and head straight to water sources - creeks, ponds, rivers. Turkeys need water daily and these spots are wildlife magnets. It's the most reliable pattern I've found for locating birds fast. Works every single time. #hunting #turkeyhunting #publicland #huntingtips #outdoors626Share
paulcarol+FollowMule deer turned me into a real hunter Grew up hunting big woods whitetails in Eastern forests - tracking through endless hardwoods was my passion. When I moved to Montana, I honestly looked down on mule deer. Saw them casually grazing by the river like livestock and thought they'd be boring compared to my crafty Eastern bucks. Boy was I wrong. First season hunting muleys completely changed me as a hunter. These aren't your backyard deer - they migrate 50+ miles, deal with mountain lions daily, and vanish into terrain that'll test everything you've got. No tree stands or trail cams here, just boots, glass, and pure hunting instinct. Now when I see whitetails, I barely glance their way. Mule deer hunting gets back to what hunting should be - raw, challenging, and earned. Anyone else make the switch from whitetails to muleys? #hunting #muledeerhunting #whitetailhunting #Outdoors 103Share
Eric Ford+FollowTurkey hunting rules got me confused! 🦃U.S. turkey hunting is super strict - each state has different permit and license requirements. Anyone else overwhelmed by all the regulations? #hunting #turkeyhunting #permits #regulations #confused166Share
tyler79+FollowAnyone tried camping in hunter management areas?Been looking at some HMA maps and wondering if anyone's tried camping inside these areas during hunting season. Seems like it could be a game changer for access, but not sure about the rules. Any experience with overnight stays in HMAs? #hunting #Outdoors #HMA #HuntingLands1015Share
fisherchad+FollowAre you making your own lures yet? 🎣Been fishing for years, but only recently got into making my own lures. Before I started, I talked to a local guy who runs a big custom lure biz. One thing he said stuck: “The pattern’s more to catch fishermen than fish.” That totally changed how I look at it—now I focus on function over looks. Any of you build your own? What tips or lessons have you learned? #hunting #LureMaking #FishingTips #DIYFishing72Share

bushjill+FollowI didn’t know deer could carry disease...Sharing this because it really stuck with me—on a group hunt a few years ago, one of the guys I was traveling with ended up contracting CWD. Turns out it came down to mishandling the deer during field dressing and not wearing gloves. I had no idea it was even possible back then. Now I’m a lot more cautious anytime I’m processing game. Are you guys taking precautions when processing deer? Ever had a close call? #hunting #HuntingSafety #CWD #DeerHunting353Share
