Youtube Friend
I haven’t done this before and don’t plan to do a lot of this in the future, but I wanted to share a youtube video that I really enjoyed. These guys do a great job videoing and editing, but it’s the storyline that I believe many of us bow hunters can really relate to. I [...]
Precious Moments
And no, I’m not talking about some little figurine with an oversized head! I’m talking about those moments in our lives that we experience that are truly precious. 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. [...]
Bobcat Down – Turkeys Up
My cousin Ryan did our turkey population a big favor this deer season and was kind enough to let me show you how. Here is a very nice sized bobcat that made a wrong decision by stepping out of the woods just 120yrds downrange from Ryan. As you can see, Ryan made a very good [...]
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, [...]

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!

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!
Find a Nut – Find a Deer!
The deer are sort of in that pre-rut funk. They’re sort of in that in-between stage where they’re not chasing, but they’re not in their early season patterns either. This can be a frustrating time of year as you can hunt a stand and see nothing and go back the next evening and see 10, you just never know.
8pt Buck Video
You’ve already saw the doe I shot on Sat the 26th, but this is the rest of the story. I shot the doe around 5pm and heard her go right down so I decided to go ahead and hunt til dark – and I’m glad I did! This buck came in around 6pm and just [...]
