After 3 years of trying and lots of frustration for her, my daughter finally killed her first turkey. It was actually her first hunting kill too. The morning of 4/18 was perfect, nice and cool and calm winds. We had set the blind up the night before so we could keep the noise down in the...

After over a year of planning the day was finally here. Me, my son, and 5 friends headed to Wyoming on the morning of August 13 to chase some speed goats. We drove to Cheyenne on Tuesday and then drove up to Douglas on Wednesday. We picked up a few things in Douglas and met up with our guide...

Me, my son, and a couple of friends had a great weekend in the turkey woods On Saturday my friend and fellow IowaWhitetailer Bofarkle arrowed a great bird, his first with a bow. He will be posting pics and a story soon. On Sunday morning we headed out again. There were a few gobbles on...

My son Chad and I headed out for Nebraska last Wednesday night. This would be our first trip to turkey hunt in Nebraska so we weren't sure what to expect. I had some information about some public land and we are not afraid to knock on doors if necessary. On Thursday morning we slept in because...

Hey everyone I posted the full story of this guy in the PMA section but thought i would share it here as well. I (Horn Hunter Jr) shot this last night just before dark. Long story short everything turned out perfect and put the Rage in the heart at 30yds. The only bad part is that I was without...

In March of 2010 we made our annual trip to the Iowa Deer Classic. As I approached the Boar Ridge booth the owner, David Bess, just shook his head and laughed. I had been telling him that I was going to come down and hunt for a few years but I hadn’t made it yet. This year was going to be...

My friend and I are heading to Kansas tomorrow morning for the weekend to try and kill some Rio's. The archery only season opens on April 1 so we thought we'd give it a try. We have some good ground lined up so hopefully I'll have some harvest pictures to share after the weekend. I can't...

I know many of you have been through this but it my first time. I shot a good buck at about 7:00 this morning. I think it was a good hit, broad side, maybe a little forward but the arrow was buried up to the fletching when he ran off. I let him go until noon before going to look for him. He...

We are kind of unsure of this guy. We are hopin that the rest of his tines catch up with the brows. Pretty sure this is same one. Pretty sure this is him HH. The G2 is very unique with the palmation and stickers at the top. He is lacking in tine length. Here is another one we on the...

Things were kind of slow on Tuesday, 5/5, I decided I would leave work about an hour early. I decided to head to a spot that I had only hunted once this year. This spot has been really good in the past few years so I figured I'd give it a try for the afternoon. I got all setup in the middle...

Well Sunday morning, April 26, the alarm goes off at 3:30 and I get up to check the weather. I look out and see the wind and rain and, unlike Limb and Weasel, I decide to go back to bed. I get up about 7:30 and see that the rain had stopped and the wind seemed lighter. I called my buddy and...

We have been hunting pretty hard most of the season and seeing a lot of birds but it finally came together on Wednesday, April 23. My buddy and I decided to take the day off since the forecast looked good. We settled into the darkhorse a little after 5AM and waited. We only heard a few gobbles...

My son was able to take his first turkey Saturday morning at about 8 am. We were out in the same area where I shot my first bow bird on Wednesday with a friend of mine and they both were able to shoot birds. The birds were gobbling good on the roost but they stopped gobbling as soon as they got...

Yesterday, April 18, I was able to score on my first turkey with a bow and it was great. I got to my spot a little before 5 am and I got all my stuff together and started walking in. I was hunting a place that has some pasture and multiple fingers of timber coming from a larger timber. The...

This is my son's first year bow hunting and he shot a nice doe on Saturday morning. We have been seeing a few small bucks but no shooters yet. Saturday morning this doe cames walking in and stops at 25 yards. The shot was a little high but she only went about 40 yards. I think it's a ggod bet to...
