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 […]

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 […]

Great Start to the New Year!

Had a great hunt this morning with my best little hunting buddy and two great friends. We were hunting a big pond that both geese and ducks frequent so we set out our spred with ducks on one side of us and geese on the other. I’ve been very successful with this layout as both […]

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 […]

My Ears Are Still Ringing

Getting your limit of geese is a great day as is getting your limit of greenheads. Put the two limits together and you’ve just had an amazing day, especially when you’re completely done by 9:30 in the morning! It’s hard to beat the sight of big ol honkers and fat greenheads locked up sailing into […]

Spring Turkey #2 for 2011

I’m two for two this year, meaning that my season has went way too fast! That’s not to say that it dislike having two successful hunts, it’s just that this is something I look forward to all year and to have it over in two days of hunting is maybe a bit too fast. My […]

Another Southwest MO Bird Down

Brad put the sneak on a great bird this last Wednesday (20th) here in southwest MO. It was the first day brad was able to get out for himself and he didn’t mess around. He had some birds talking to him early, but that hunt was interrupted by a lazy hunter who decided to drive […]

Season Opens With a Bang!

April 18th marked the opening day of spring turkey season here in Missouri. For me this is long anticipated so I was a bit perturbed when I woke up at 6am and realized that although I had set my alarm for 5am, I had failed to turn it on!! So now the rush is on. […]
