Was able to call in a nice bird for my daughter this morning for Wisconsin’s 1st season. Hunted by myself on other properties 1st two days of season and heard little or nothing. Came up to our cabin & hunted this morning. This guy came in following 4 hens, 2 peeled off and 2 came to the...

After a one year layoff due to the Wuhan... got to go to Nebraska last week for the last 3 days of archery and shotgun opener. If we could have used shotguns on Wednesday/Thursday we would have doubled up twice and been on the road home by 8am Thursday... :) I made a terrible shot on a tom...

A buddy & I doubled up this morning when a obnoxious, loud, yappy, just wouldn't shut up hen (that's me!!!) pissed off the lead hen. So she brought the rest of the gang and 3 longbeards ventured into the decoys, 1 got to leave. Great Hunt. Mine was 22#, 10" beard, 7/8" spurs.. Jeff's was 18#...

Wisconsin had it's Youth hunt this weekend, a weekend I'd been looking forward to for some time. I was finally able to take my 10 year old out for his 1st turkey hunt. I had to work Friday night so I got home and crawled in the rack for a quick nap and was awakened at 11:15 after a 4 hour nap...

I was able to get out this morning for what would be my 3rd and final hunt of the year. I was able to best my best bird to date on opening day of Wisconsin's 4th season, took my son out with me last weekend on some of the windiest days I've ever been in the woods and then this morning. I...

Finally was able to get my spring season underway this morning with the start of 4th Season. The rain moved thru overnight and when I left the truck at 0420 the sky was dry. I got to my spot and was setup by 0445ish and proceded to wait for the birds to let me know when to start calling...

Got back last night from what has now become an annual trip up by St. Croix Falls for panfish. Had a blast caught and released more big bluegills than should be allowed and kept a bunch to munch on too. The perch and crappies were slower this year than last but a good time was had. Here is one...

Well I was able to close the deal this morning on a Turkey, just not the one I thought I was dealing with. This was just my second day in the woods as once again I drew 4th season here in WI. I set up in the same place as usual yesterday morning and I don't know if it was the 1" of rain we got...

Yesterday my local chapter of the NWTF, the Bluff Country Long Spurs held our 10th annual Learn to Hunt. Each year we have taken out 10-12 individuals usually kids who have not hunted turkeys and may not have someone to take them turkey hunting. Saturday was a day filled with classroom work...

you don't succeed..... Shoot his little brother. The morning started out great with multiple birds gobbling around me, but none close . After fly-down, I had a pair hung up 100 yards north of me but they held their ground and walked off around 0615 with a hen or two. At 0645 a gobble to...

My buddy from when I lived in Missery, who now is a no good Minnesotian, came down to hunt 4th season with me again this year. This morning was a mirror image of my Wednesday morning hunt. We started the day at the same tree I shot my bird from on Wed. Unlike Wed. the birds were hammering all...

Not much of a story behind this one... only heard 4 gobbles this morning, this fella was 2 of them. Him and a buddy came running in from over the ridge, gobbled, and were gonna peal past and keep heading down the logging road, or so I thought. I knew it was a pretty good poke but I let him...

What the old Mississippi River will give up. Caught this Paddlefish, or shovelnose catfish, on Jan. 30th there are several different names to them. We estimated it at around 30 lbs. Revived it and released if to fight again. They are quite the fighters when they are hooked by the tail
