Yes; our South Dakota deer hunt (whitetail) is $280 and a 10 day bird license is $140. It and Nebraska are the best deals on tags around right now. We’re doing a muzzleloader hunt in December on private land in Nebraska too.

Wow! A black powder shoot? Nice!

Where I’m from they always let the muzzle loaders and bowhunters have a week or two head start on the other hunters. Muzzle loading is neat. I used to bow hunt. I even got a Canada goose one year. That was so long ago, about 30 years ago.

Cannabian-
Yep, they sure can pepper the hell out of your lawn, golf courses, and hopefully not your garden. It is fairly hard to hit a goose flying with a bow. They make arrows for that, we used to call them flu flus. They have very big fetching on them which limits their range ro around 40 yards or so. If you have ever shot a regular arrow into the sky with a 55lb compound bow you will see they go for a LONG way up in the sky.

I haven’t bow hunted in over 40 years. I be lucky if i could hit the broad side of a barn now. 
Yes no stranger to bow hunting. Or bow fishing for that matter. Havent done it for many years, I find a rifle is way easier. And I dont have to get close to my prey.
In fact I was a competitive recurve shooter in Sacramento 40 years ago. Man has it been that long? I guess death is around the corner right?

I hear ya. Back in the day we could hit a ping pong ball at 40 yards. In the winter here the Tennessee River recedes and we used to go and shoot chipmunks running through the root systems of trees that were growing on the bank. If you can hit a chipmunk on the run you are doing something right.

We are all getting older. My first bow was a browning recurve. Then compound bows came in and everyone switched to them. I never used sites on my bow. A lot of time I didn’t have the time to have to line everything up. Now I can’t shoot anything but my Sig pistil. Without my right eye I can’t see the sights right. Feels too weird to shoot left handed when you shot your whole life right handed. My friends that I shoot with call me dirty Harry. I like my pistil. In fact, pistils are good thing with guns and plants!

I hear you Deep,
I dont think men who take 300mg of morphine are supposed to do windsprints too. My skull would likely collapse if I had to fight my way out of something. One solid hit with a board or something solid, and that would be it. So much easier when you can protect yourself and your loved ones with a pistil. Some like open carry, I like concealed carry. Don’t want to lay out all my cards at once. So its pistil and a back up knife. On me at all times. They have some good trainers out there. One in Vegas, and one here in my state. Shooting at paper targets in no way prepares you for what happens in real life.

I was reading through some of the posts again and this stuck out. Is it something you are willing to share?
One other thing. I am still hung up on veg time. It is contrary to everything I read about autos. What I see puts delays as a negative. Are delays bad because it takes them off published grow time lines? Or are there other benefits that more than offset a couple of weeks? I am understanding you to say - delays in veg can be positive in that it allows for larger more robust autos. Anyway - that is what I am thinking about at 4:00 am.

@beardless yes, I’m interested in this too. I was under the impression that autos switch to flower on their own time, regardless of anything the grower does or doesn’t do. @Not2SureYet I would also be interested in the nutrient feed chart you made.
It seems I have no idea what doing, after a year

I’m getting to be a little old to draw a heavy bow. I enjoyed hunting with the compound (PSE X-Force) but for pure fun I have an original Grayling Michigan Fred Bear recurve. I also have a PSE longbow but get more handshock from it than the recurve. When I was running the gun club I could go next door to the indoor archery range and shoot to my heart’s content. I got so I could put ten arrows into a coke can at 30 yards. Killed a few hogs and deer with the compound.
Muzzleloader season for Nebraska falls squarely in the rut which occurs around December 1. I like Nebraska because you can use sabots, scopes, pellets if you want (although I use Blackhorn 209) etc which gives my Omega about 300 yard capability.

@beardless, delays seem to be bad in soil from what I see. Most auto info I think most come across is old and back when soil was what every one grew in. In coco, think of it like a photo. Longer veg time equals more grow time, which equals bigger plants most of the time. I can have an auto almost stop growing, And still come out reasonable. If it starts and follows through good. I get a great plant.
Here is what I mean. I have yet to see a soil auto let you get away with this. I won’t go into details un less asked. But this is a 5 week old plant that completely stalled on me. These are both autos
1st is this at 5 weeks old
I took this early. But this is where she finished at. Not a giant. But not a total loss either.
2nd is this. Again. Totally over watered at the start. This is 4 weeks old .
She finished a week later than this. She got cut down a few weeks early. I broke a few branches moving her to another room as I needed her space here. this
This is week 13
and week 14. She should have been a 17 week plant.
For my feed chart. I don’t recommend any one trying this. It worked great for me. But the whole time I thought I was feeding my autos light. They were getting fed about double in flower 
And I mixed the micro and grow up when I made the chart. I grew a lot of nice 12 - 14 oz plants though

This is a modified chart I will use with my next all auto grow. I will be feeding in the 1/2 to 3/4 range unless I see the plants tell me some thing different.

But what’s the soil you using?
Thanks for the details. At least I have the delay part down. I will keep my fingers crossed for bathroom jack. Maybe there is hope for her despite being in soil. I tagged you on today’s update.
