Hey fellas, had a great hunt on a blustery Nov. 12th morning. I was able to harvest an old farm legend, Floppy. A buck I have four years worth of history with since I first began to hunt this farm. Definitely not close to the biggest buck on the farm but I think without a doubt the oldest. He...

Sometimes it works out how you planned. Deployed the blind and brushed in Friday afternoon and headed out Sunday morning for the first hunt of the year. As luck would have it was able to get a gobbler on the ground by 7 AM. Could hear 7 or 8 different gobbles on the roost but nothing within a...

I was finally able to wrap up most of the major loose ends on a project I had been scheming about for quite some time. I took a lot of inspiration from other home shop threads so thank you all for that. Maybe someone can gain an idea or two from sharing. I needed things to be mobile and...

Hey guys. Had this doe on camera for way longer than I thought I would. Thought she would be history by now but it appears she may be making a come back. EHD has run its course through this farm but I doubt this is related to that. She was healthy enough to have a fawn. Any thoughts...

Found some success on just the second hunt of the year this morning. It’s been 5 years between bucks for me and this guy was the perfect way to break the dry spell. He read the script and walked in to 20 yards before sensing that something wasn’t quite right. A well placed arrow found his mark...

First of all congrats to all of you guys. You sure have put some bruisers on the ground this year! I thought I would share the details of my hunt this past Friday, November 14th when I was able to fill my Iowa archery tag. I was off early this past Friday with intentions on heading to...

Hey guys, I'm going to be making a firearms purchase sometime in the near future and just wanted to see what your recommendations are for Des Moines area gun shops. I'm looking for fair prices, knowledgeable, and good service after the sale. So, where have you had good experiences...

I thought I would share a few photos of my mount that I just got back. I went with a pedestal mount and I think the taxi man did a very nice job. Always a fun day to pick up a trophy and get him on the wall. Thanks for looking! A few harvest photos: And some of him on the wall

I have a slightly used Millennium M100 treestand. Treestand was purchased before the 2012-2013 season and used four times. The stand sat in storage this year and was unused this season. The stand is about as comfortable as it comes but it just didn't fit my hunting style. I have two chain-on...

Here is my story behind my 2013 Iowa trophy: The morning of November 9th ended pretty well for me. I made the hour trip from Des Moines to Southern Iowa to a private farm I gained permission for last year. I got all set-up waiting for the deer to return from feed. I sat from before sunrise...

Hey guys, Well I thought I might be able to make it another year but I decided to order a new set of strings and cables to put on my Mathews Switchback XT. I am looking for advice on a good, quality archery shop or technician to install the new string and cable and help me get things tuned...
