And The Food Plot Work Begins!

21, May 2012

And…..we’re off! With a bang this weekend, my food plot work began and we’re officially off to the races. Friday afternoon my shipment from Whitetail Institute arrived with about 2 acres worth each of Imperial Whitetail Clover and Winter Greens! The farm I live/hunt on is in soybeans this year, so my plan with these [...]

Thoughts On Failure

9, May 2012

It’s an interesting thing – failure. It can sting. It can poison your thoughts. It can slowly crush your confidence. But at the same time it can push you to new heights. Force you to look yourself in the mirror. And in the end – make you better. What’s the difference between these two outcomes? [...]

Shoot or Don’t Shoot #1 – NW Iowa

18, Apr 2012

Shoot or don’t shoot. That’s the million dollar question, right? When the moment of truth arrives and the buck steps into your lane, do you slowly squeeze the trigger or do you watch him walk on by. The answer to that question is very different for every single person, and in many cases for unique [...]

Scouting Spring Turkeys With BB2

16, Apr 2012

I’m a deer hunter first and foremost- but I really have come to love turkey hunting. And as was demonstrated by our poll last week, it appears that many of you do too! That being said, I had to share a short story form this weekend thats a little more turkey related than we usually [...]

Can Turkey Hunting Help You As A Deer Hunter?

12, Apr 2012

I was greeted last night with a nice surprise as I discovered some great videos on my trail camera, but I was excited for a much different reason than I usually am. It wasn’t the deer I was excited about on this trail camera pull, rather it was the frequent turkey sightings that got my [...]

Lessons Learned From Dr. Grant Woods

10, Apr 2012

Today I want to introduce you all to Hunter Stier, a fellow young whitetail addict hailing from the great white north of Michigan. Last year Hunter had the opportunity to work with one of the most prominent, experienced and respected whitetail biologists in the country, Dr. Grant Woods. And I’m excited for Hunter to share [...]

Is This Monster 121″ Iowa Shed For Real?

5, Apr 2012

Like big sheds? Take a look at this monster. This pic arrived on my phone via a text from a pal, exclaiming that this shed was supposedly found in Iowa recently. Word on the street is that it scores 121″! Now that being said, details are thin and after looking around further online it looks like [...]

One Awesome Iowa Shed

28, Mar 2012

This morning I wanted to share a little “Shed Porn”! On my trip out to Iowa a couple weeks ago, a friend brought out an absolute stud of a shed that he found the year before. It’s just a big main frame 4 point side, but it has triple brows and tons of mass. The [...]

The Power of A Quality Deer Management Co-Op

22, Mar 2012

The power of one. It’s the idea that any one person can make a difference. There’s certainly truth to that – but I think it’s safe to say that we’d also all agree that the power of a group can take that single person’s action to a whole new level. One person can start a [...]

A Missouri Monarch On The Ground for Brett Lesniak

19, Mar 2012

2011 ended up being a pretty great year for our friends over at Reality Driven Pursuits – as they knocked down a handful of dandy midwest bucks this season. As some of you may remember, I hunted down in Nebraska with Chad Searcey of the RDP team several years ag0 and since then I’ve always [...]
