Monster gobblers hung up a ridge away. Thunder chickens putt putting away as you kick yourself for moving too fast. Heartbeats going a hundred miles a minute as a thundering gobbler approaches.

30, Mar 2011

As many of you know, when it came to my 2010 hunting season, few things went quite as planned. And I suppose thats a big part of why I love hunting so much, you just never know what to expect. Whether it was severe thunder storm warnings in Illinois or 80 degree heat in the [...]

25, Mar 2011

My thoughts today are short and sweet, but in all honesty, incredibly important.

Dr. Grant Woods is the head honcho at The Proving Grounds, and for those who do not know, he is one of, if not the, preeminent quality whitetail management gurus alive today. His educational [...]
