Last Minute Food Plot

30, Aug 2010

As much as I like to think I’ve got it all together, today was a not so subtle reminder that I’ve still got a nasty knack for procrastinating. I’ve gotten behind on a lot of neccessary preparations on my properties and particularly on a food plot I wanted to put in. I finally thought I had [...]

This past weekend I spent a few too many sweaty hours hanging in a tree, clearing out shooting lanes and doing last minute prep on various trees. This was hard work, especially in the 90 degree heat, but it could have been a lot harder. Luckily I was wearing a harness and linemans rope which allowed me [...]

Happy Friday! This morning I woke up to temperatures in the 40′s! It felt so perfect, I nearly threw on my camo and walked back into the woods! Instead though, it’s probably a good idea for me to share with you all my Friday Morning Mash-up. Here are some of this weeks best posts from [...]

I know you all can feel it, deep down in your bones, hunting season is nearly upon us. For some of you it’s merely days away and for others there is still a month to go, but either way it can’t come soon enough. This was a sentiment I felt very strongly this past weekend, [...]

Over the past year I’ve discovered a tremendous deer hunting resource, accessible to anyone across the country, but hailing from my home state of Michigan. This invaluable resource is the Eberhart family! John Eberhart and his son, Chris Eberhart, have written several tremendous books and produced a series of incredibly informative instructional hunting DVDs. John [...]

This past weekend was full of deer hunting related fun as I got some great accessories for my bow as birthday gifts and travelled to Illinois to check out Oak Tree Outfitters. But one of my favorite parts of the weekend was on Sunday, when my girlfriend’s family came over to cook out and shoot [...]

Iowa Giants On Camera

20, Aug 2010

Although I didn’t personally get to see any Iowa giants last weekend, I’ve been assured via camera that they do exist! My buddy sent over some of his friends’ trailcam pics of a few really nice bucks that they’re after this fall. We’ll be keeping an eye on these guys throughout the fall, so look [...]

Every morning I pull up the internet on my laptop or cellphone and check out my Google Reader account, which shows me updates from all of my favorite hunting blogs across the country. There’s lots of great articles, blog posts and news being shared every day in the hunting world, but even for me it [...]

As we all know, August is a great month to spend time glassing soybean fields at last light in search of mature whitetail bucks. But how many times have you laid eyes on a giant and been disappointed because he is several miles from the property you have permission to hunt? I am here to [...]

There are few truisms as spot on as “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” and this applies just as much to deer hunting as anything. For some, a trophy deer is any animal that can fill the freezer, while for others the only thing that will satisfy their craving is a Boone & [...]
