After 3 long hard years, I finally put a decent buck on the ground. I feel so blessed and humbled just for the opportunity to harvest a buck that I had on my list. I hunted in the cold and wind everyday all day from the 7th through the 16th with only one appearance of a real good buck. I...

Finally got a chance to hit my favorite honey hole on Friday May 9th. I knew there were a bunch of birds in there, due to my pre-season scouting. However, I had not been in there since the Sunday before 1st season started. The wind was supposed to kick up around 9am so I got set up on a 3/4...

So for those that have read my posts in the past, most know me as a spot and stalk Turkey hunter. I can call with the best of them, but prefer the challenge of spotting and stalking the elusive and keen eyed Wild Turkey. For me its a rush, its a way to test my woodsmanship and a way to push...

The end of April, I found myself hutning Merriams for the first time in South Dakota. All I can say is wow beautiful landscapes and a ton of birds. Me and a couple of buddies put in to hunt on Rosebud, and it was quite interesting trying to hunt those wylie birds up there. The spot and stalks...

Well, after a crappy opener yesterday, I got one down this morning. I wasn't going to go this morning from being to worn out from yesterday, but with the rain coming in tonight I figured I better get out there. My first set up was sweet, or so I thought when I got set up( until I realized...

I pulled the card off a trail cam by where I was hunting last night and thought this was pretty neat. Enjoy! The big doe to the right, in the weeds, took a g5 to the boiler a few seconds later. Backstraps tonight for dinner!

Is it me or are there more big bucks getting taken early this year? I know the cold front had alot of them up on their feet for a few days, a little earlier in the day. I know there have been 5 B&C bucks taken in the Des Moines area urban hunts, the Guthrie co buck, the Adair co buck, the...

Thought I would share.

What a great trip to Tobin Lake in Sask. I had a chance to meet some great people in bear camp, and got my first opportunity to kill my first bear. We took off on Sept 1st, and drove 24 straight hours to get to camp. We got unpacked and hopped in the truck with the owner to bait some sites. I...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYKlpCgTfAM&feature=related If you have an hour to waste watch this video of some Out of Stater's shotgun hunting Public Ground here in Iowa. They broke at least 5 laws that I can count, and thats not counting the ethical and safe shooting rules. Enjoy. I'm not...

What do ya'll think of this buck. I only have a couple of pictures of him off of a new property I picked up to hunt. I think he is young, but I just can't tell. Thanks for your input.

So, I've been told at work to research some all purpose seeders to upgrade some equipment, and I'm looking for any input as far as what these seeders can and can't do, from you're personal experiences with Landpride or another manufacturer. What problems should I be aware of? Can these...

This morning I had the priviledge and honor of taking out ,a good friend and Senior Regional Director of the NWTF, Mike Thornton. It's been 6 years since Mike has killed a bird, and he's never killed one of our Iowa longbeards. We talked Thursday and got everything set up on where to meet and at...

Smoked another longbeard this morning. Story and pics to come. 21.5 lbs, 7/8 spurs, and 10 1/4'' beard. Sorry for the delay on the pic and story fellas. It was kind of a rough weekend. My buddy JW and I headed out early Friday morning and got set up in a strut zone by 5:00 AM. We didn't...

I'm looking at getting a new archery block, and I am tired of going through 2 blocks every year. The Rinehart Targets look pretty tough. Was wondering how many of you guys have tried them? And what you're thoughts are on their durability? What is the ease of arrow with broadhead removal? I'm...

This morning was the first opportunity my dad had to go out. So I got to the house and we headed out about five and got all set up. About 6:00 things fired up pretty quick, when a hen and a gobbler flew down about 125 yds away. He strutted for her for about 45 minutes, and he answered every...

Just got set up with the old man. What a drastic difference from yesterday with it blowing 30-40. Good luck to ya'll. I have a feeling alot of birds are going down today. Go get er done fellas!

Bird Down Pics & Story Added First bird of the season down @ 10:30 this morning. Pics and story up this afternoon hopefully. FYI its a good un.

Yesterday morning started way to early for me, after packing in blinds and gear Friday night for my 2 nephew's first Turkey Hunt, and first hunt ever. Both got to my house with their father on time and with way to much energy. But they were super excited to be going. We met up with two of my...

My buddy just sent me this. I would love to try it sometime. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnqUyz3R4sA
