Big Tom Down on Video (well mostly on video ;-)

A good friend of mine, Brandon got his first Tom Saturday, April 21, 2012. It was a fun filled hunt filled with many twists and turns. We had a “pack” of jakes that kept running our Tom around and almost ruined our hunt, but in the end he was able to get it too close […]

First 2012 Tom Down

Had an excellent hunt this morning down in SW Missouri! The birds were making up for the dead Monday in my area by gobbling their heads off! The first bird I went after flew off the roost landing about 150 yards out in the middle of a pasture. He was very content to gobble all […]

Blood Pressure Rising

If this doesn’t get your blood pumping I don’t know what will!! Did a little scouting with the kiddos the other morning on a few properties I hunt on and was pleasantly surprised. We’ve got a week and a half before youth season and I’m chomping at the bit. What a great way to enjoy […]

Youth Hunters

Over the last few years I have had the priviledge to take part in a local NWTF Chapter youth hunt. The chapter does a great job of working to get youth out into the woods and intense focus is put on selecting great land to up the percentage of success among the hunters. I have […]

Coyote Down in Southwest MO

The HunterByDesign team Was able to finally get out and predator hunt a piece of land that I’ve been wanting to get out on for some time now. This property is set up great for coyotes complete with many draws, large open areas, and a lot of cattle nearby. We arrived at the land about […]

Fast Little Ducks

Wrapped up the duck season in North MO (north zone) this morning with my twin cousins Bryan & Ryan. We made our last stand today on a farm pond that has been the resting place for a few ducks and some geese. The action came early and fast this morning and I do mean fast. […]

Gun Dog at Last

I grew up with laborador retrievers, so when we got a place with a big back yard my first thought was to get a lab. The only problem with that is that we also had two very small children. If you know anything about labs, they aren’t the most calm dogs in the world, especially […]

Polar Bear Club Honorary Member

If you had asked me this past weekend if I would like to take an early morning swim complete with rubber boots, wool pants, multiple layers of coats/sweatshirts, all in 29 degree weather, I probably would have told to call me on Monday to set up an appointment for a psych eval. Then ask me […]

Coyote Down

The following video pretty much tells the story. After sitting in a bow stand for a couple months, it’s nice to pull the trigger on the ol’ rifle!

Another Reason to be Thankful!

Happy Thanksgiving!! I have so many things to be thankful for in my life. I’m thankful for God’s provision in my life and for His continual grace and mercy that is renewed every morning! I am also very thankful for the family He has blessed me wih and the health that we enjoy and many […]
