Countdown To Killin Time

1, Sep 2010

30 days. 720 hours. 43,200 minutes. 0 good nights of sleep. The countdown has begun for me, as only one final month remains until my 2010 deer season begins. But it will be a long month, as I am unbelievably excited for opening day and the season that will follow. Opening weekend for me will be an [...]

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 [...]

Preseason Prep In Illinois With Oak Tree Outfitters

26, Aug 2010

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, [...]

The Next, Next Generation of Hunters

23, Aug 2010

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 [...]

What Are You Aiming For?

18, Aug 2010

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 & [...]

No Such Thing As A Sure Thing, Even In Iowa

17, Aug 2010

I just got back from a great trip to Iowa, where we had a really fun visit with friends, got to see the Iowa countryside, hiked all over some great deer habitat and tried really hard to get some good velvet footage! But as the title suggests, there is no such thing as a sure [...]

Let Them Go, Let Them Grow

13, Aug 2010

It was a busy week for me in the woods this week  as I was out working on various projects outside the last three nights. This past Wednesday I headed out to one of my properties to check a trailcam and clear out some shooting lanes. I was relatively successful on both fronts, although not necessarily comfortable. I was able [...]

W2H Visiting Iowa: The Sequel

10, Aug 2010

As many of you might remember, about three months ago I traveled to Iowa to participate in the White Knuckle Productions Film School and to visit some friends in the area. Well needless to say, I caught the Iowa “big buck bug” and I’m heading back to the Land of Giants this weekend! Now although [...]

It’s getting to be crunch time for me in Michigan and now that August is here it’s time for all that final preparation before the season! But July saw us hard at work as well and we certainly stayed busy and had a lot of fun along the way. Check out my video recap of [...]
