Where Would You Hunt? (If you had to pick one ;-)
I moved to southwest Missouri a few years ago, so I was starting from scratch on finding private hunting ground. You can drive around, but with gas prices and being unfamiliar with the area, that just didn’t seem extremely practical. So I decided to check out my area from a bird’s eye view. I simply got onto google earth and within no time I had picked 6-7 properties that looked like great deer/turkey habitat.

They’ll all learn someday that bow hunting is not a sport of instant gratification, but when that gratification does come, it’s all the sweeter!

Couple More Trail Cam Pics
Here are a couple more pics for your viewing pleasure. These two won’t get your blood pumping, but pics like these are important as they let you know you’ve got some future. We may be talking 2-4 years down the road for these two (that’s if we can keep the few in our family that have touchy trigger fingers away from them- you know […]
The Insatiable Itch – Relief this Tuesday!
Ok, so most of you will know the itch I’m talking about. That first blast of cool air we experienced several weeks ago got the itch started and it’s steadily gotten worse from there.
