    Firestone

    Sorry for the long post – I love hearing details of others hunts. If you don’t, skip to the bottom for pictures. It has been a bit of a slow year for me. I've been out over 20 hunts, but have not been able to get on anything nice. One farm had a nice 6x6, but he disappeared. We have a really...

    4th season success

    Slipped in by 5:15, first gobble around 5:25. One close and another further down the ridge. Close one going crazy on the roost. Heard him fly down, but he headed away shortly after. Listening for others and thinking about moving when I hear drumming. One moving away gobbles and silent one...

    Really fun hunt and new milestone

    If you are looking for a post about big antlers, this isn't for you. If you want to hear about family and multi-generational hunters, read on. I wasn't sure I was headed out the afternoon of Nov 27. I had hunted quite a bit and didn't feel very confident in seeing a target buck. My son text...

    NWTF Central Iowa Longspurs - Wheelin Turkey Hunt

    I've guided in this 1 day hunt the last 2 years it was held. It is a great experience and always leaves me very thankful for my health and abilities. The program has been very successful and there are more hunters this year than in the past and one of the guides isn't able to make it. So, we...

    Grandpa's 22

    Sure doesn't fit in the "trophy" category for most, but it was fun for me. Had Friday off so headed out to some public ground and had a little luck on a morning squirrel hunt. Using my Grandfather's gun he passed on to me made it even better. He was born in 1916 and died in 2003. He didn't...
