Many hunters have long processed their own game, but as more begin to involve themselves in conservation, including land and animal management, determining the weight of one's deer becomes more than merely an exercise in bragging rights. It becomes, rather, an integral part of one's herd management process. The Hanging Judge Gambrel and Scale, from Ranew's Outdoor Equipment, allows hunters to get an accurate weight on their deer (or other, similar, game animal), with a high enough capacity to measure live weight as well as dressed. As it takes its readings while the deer is hanging in the conventional position, the Hanging Judge is the perfect accessory for anyone who does their own butchering, though it could also be used by those who simply want to know a little more about their deer before it is sent elsewhere for processing.

If you need to chase somebody in a backyard, why couldn’t you do that with a drone? If my dog did what I saw in that video, I’d put my dog down.”

Coyote Tactics: Stay Flexible

The successful hunters I know do not get hung up on one tactic. They constantly float between strategies in an ever-changing hunting environment. Quite simply, they’re flexible. I take that improvising nature to heart even for coyotes, particularly when they shun my calls for whatever reason. When that occurs, I continue the hunt, but modify my strategy to fit the scenario.
