Sorry I haven't updated lately, I've been super busy and haven't been on my computer. But, this is what I've been up to... May 11th, 2022 - “I don’t have time” I kept repeating that to myself and it became reality. Instead of “I have three hours after work.” I took those three hours last...

Had to test the truck today to make sure my tires were good and no other issues in deep snow. Went into the Wyoming high elevation backcountry driving around, everything seems sound in the snow! Off to Idaho to pick up my bait permits in the morning. Gonna grab my Mountain Lion and Wolf tags...

I've been busy the last month doing my hunting research for this fall and getting everything ready for when clients show up this fall. I ended up applying for Oregon, California (Raffle, I'll apply for regular draw later if I don't draw anything), Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Nevada...

I didn't stick around long at the Classic this year and only talked to a couple of people. Hope everybody is doing great!

Had the plastic buckles on both of them break. This could just as easily happen with the Sitka ones too. But, I’ve used the Sitka ones all over and had zero issues with them in the last two and a half years. I’m sure you’ll love the Yukon’s! I’m super rough on stuff.

I have a couple, but, my favorite are my Sitka Sotrmfront GTX. I had the Kuiu Yukon’s and have a backup pair of Outdoor Research Gaitors. The Sitka ones have held up the best. I’ve beat the ever living heck out of the GTX and they’ve taken EVERYTHING I’ve thrown at them.

Caught an absolute TOAD shed buck. He had over 6” pedicles on him, I’m positive he’ll be an absolute unit this fall. We also caught another doe this morning and I found a little 3pt shed after walking 7.2 miles.

I ended up finding my first shed(s) of the year a great Illinois public land buck! Happy Valentine's Day to me! It's been a slow last couple of days, but, we got it done last night in the cold! We're hoping to catch a couple more at this location tonight and crossing our fingers. We're almost...

I had a fantastic day today! Walked 7.2 Miles and found a 159” dead head in one of our study areas and I’m able to keep it! Best part it was on public land! We ended up catching a Buck tonight dropnetting and the mud, wasn’t all the fun, but, we got it done! I know the picture sucks my phone...

Makes mine look like a dink! Congrats again guys those are insane bucks!

We’ve been pretty busy reworking our system to adapt to all the birds, squirrels, and raccoons that are setting off our traps. It’s been just about impossible to go even a couple hours without it getting set off, but, we finally figured out the tension and caught a couple deer this morning. We...

We caught yet another this morning, another doe. I decided to hit the gym and hit a solid 3.10 miles @ 20:45. That sub 20 mark is inching closer.

We ended up getting two recaptures! One from last year and one from this year. They don’t seem to mind getting caught more than once. We let the one deer go and the other from last year was worked up. We have collared both of her fawns from this year and now her (again)! We then had another...

Started the day of strong with a capture midday! I made the tough decision to not collar this deer because it was smaller and underweight. It was a tough call, but, I stand by it! Later tonight we decided to sit the dropnet and caught ourselves two more deer on a great double drop! The deer...

I caught it in the water Joking! I didn’t catch it, I just boated it for my buddy and he let me take trophy shots too. My biggest is only 34”, but, have lost MANY of them because we were targeting walleye and didn’t have leaders or anything on. Caught in Wyoming.

Hoping to break into the 20 minute 5k mark in the next two months. I’m inching closer to 21:59 every day and just about touched it today. Long run tomorrow after trying to catch some more deer.

It was a little chilly tonight! We got it done again on another Button Buck! He was mid wake up in this picture and we were just getting out of the way.

After a couple unsuccessful days of trapping we had luck! We had to leave the traps tied open due to the snow and bad weather here in Illinois, but, we were able to open one of them last night and caught a buck that had been in the trap every day for the last three days. Beautiful weather today...

After nine months of not running and two years of not swimming I’ve decided to hit the track, pool, and treadmill again. This is week three progress, hoping to improve a lot more than this. But, I’m feeling more energized and ready to go every day! Guiding hunters you really add on the pounds...
