1st Deer of 2010

They are all over the acorns right now. The best advice I can give you for now is to find a grove of oaks and get ready!

Sneaky

Season is here in the great state of Missouri. I’m not sure when I’ll get to go out for my first outing, but I’m hoping it’s soon – I’ll keep you all posted. In the meantime – GOOD LUCK!!

Trail Cam Placement

Ok, when it comes to trail cam placement it seems pretty simple – find a deer trail, find a tree to stick your camera to, point it at the trail and you’re done. That’s pretty much it, but I do have a few suggestions that may help you get more than the deer’s behind the […]

Dust Off that Bow!

Most of you have probably already beat me to this, but if you’re like me and have been going 90 to nuthin this summer, it’s time to start setting boundaries, and get that bow dialed in!  Here in the great state of MO, bow season starts September 15th – it’s hard to believe that it’s […]

Antler Plaque – Do It Yourself!

If any of you guys are like me you’ll be walking around a rustic furniture store with your wife and she’ll comment “Wow, I really like that!”  This is usually when I pipe up and say, “Oh yeah, I could make that really easily.”  We both know that I probably couldn’t and that if I […]

Youtube Friend

With kids we have these moments quite often, the problem is that many times we don’t have the awareness about ourselves to recognize them when they happen. […]

Rifle Season In, but Not With a Bang.

You fellow Missourians know what November 14th is, but for the rest of you that is the beginning of rifle season. Unfortunately, it is also the peak of rut here in north Missouri, meaning we have hunters coming in from all over the place! I really don’t mind the hunters for I’m one of them, […]

8pt Buck Harvest on Video!

Great hunt! The video pretty much says it all – especially after I got done rambing! The rut is coming right on. I hunted with a cousin this morning and watched a small buck chasing a doe. You can’t beat deer hunting this time of year! Very thankful and happy to have harvested such a […]

Where to hunt…where to hunt.

The answer of where to hunt changes throughout the season as the deer move from early season feeding patterns, to pre-rut, to rut, to postrut. Of course, when you throw in lunar cycles, temp., and wind direction, there really is a lot to think about!
