I remember this same discussion over bass many years ago. The question was this: It used to be a sawed-off teaspoon would catch bass. What happened to those bass? Why won’t they bite a sawed-off teaspoon any more? In largemouth bass there is no room for culture. Big bass don’t … Continue reading →
I’ve got stuff still from 1982. My sons are wearing the stuff I started out with. You replace them when they stop doing the job. Some things I’ve learned over the years: 1) Rotate your clothes. To keep scent down, I always have one or more changes for the weekend … Continue reading →

I think its kind of a neat idea and was mulling over springing for one but would like to hear some opinions, if … Continue reading →

Posted By: Youper on the 24hourcampfire: “Now, after five deer, daughters have seen mothers die. Mothers have seen sons die. They know.” A little too much anthropomorphism for me. Your deer are smarter than ours shaman. Now mind you this didn’t happen to me, but to my dad. At a … Continue reading →

My technique with Tink’s is 5 film canisters filled with a 6X1″ strip of polyester fake fur– anything fluffy will do. Polyester hold scent pretty well. I got mine by shaving strips off an old baby blanket. I also have 4 1 foot long strips of the fake fur tied … Continue reading →
