Lansing Deer & Turkey Spectacular!
17, Feb 2009Yesterday was a nice treat as I got to visit the annual Deer & Turkey Spectacular in Lansing, Michigan. Just as I begin to wonder if the snow will ever melt, I check this out and can’t wait to get out in the cold again and chase some swamp bucks! The “Spectacular” had much of [...]
Last weekend in Western Michigan we experienced an unseasonably warm spell, which was a nice treat for everyone except for hunters.

Escanaba in da Moonlight
9, Oct 2008I unfortunately won’t be able to go out deer hunting this weekend, but I will be way up north in Michigan’s Upper Pennisula. I’m heading up to Drummond Island to do some partridge hunting and perch fishing. Should be a great time. When it comes to “Da UP” I can’t help but think about the old [...]

Michigan Whitetail Hunt
10, Sep 2008The cool crisp air tonight has fully alerted my internal clock that bowhunting season isn’t far off! Here’s a good short clip of a hunter harvesting a nice Michigan whitetail, something I hope to be doing in less than a month! Notice how well he placed the shot in the lower vitals as the deer quartered away. [...]

The Economic Hunter
11, Aug 2008I just ran across an article in the Dallas Morning News discussing a number of ways hunters, fisherman and outdoors enthusiasts can save some money and gas this year while dealing with these tough economic times… “Fuel costs are a major issue, but so is the cost of everything else, partly due to increased shipping expenses. Ammunition has [...]
