You had planned on bagging your buck early in the deer hunting season, but that time has come and gone. An unsuccessful early season strategy, a lack of hunting time, or just plain bad luck has left your freezer empty. So now what? Although early season hunting brings its own set of challenges, such as […]
Well one weekend down and one to go! This hunting trip is one I look forward to every year; I get to hunt with some of my best friends. I have been hunting with this group of shotgun hunters for the last eight years. The group has always been a small group by Iowa Shotgun […]
The deer camps I stopped by last week, the report was warm weather and fog was making it harder to find the deer. Also many felt that they were seeing about the same to fewer deer then last year. I think the numbers on the Iowa Harvest Reporting page show this as well. The total […]

I’m lucky to be in a position in my life that I can dedicate this time of year to my favorite pastime, chasing the elusive whitetails in famed Iowa. Spending the better part of every day in the timber since the 20th of October, I have had more than enough time to access the quality […]
Jesse Wegner harvested a true monster whitetail on Halloween. This was a buck Jesse had on trail cam this year and last. He wasn’t at all sure what it would score just knew it had great tine and main beam length. He has a rule on this farm that he will only shoot a buck […]
There is nothing better than sitting in a tree stand that first week of November. The bucks start chasing does and it just makes for some great entertainment for those long sits in the stand. On November 3rd I was sitting on the edge of a bean field waiting for deer to come out to […]

I was talking to a good friend of mine on the phone the other day. Tracy Pedretti and I have known each other for a number of years now. We both love turkey hunting but when deer season rolls around that dominates the conversation. I was telling about a deer hunting tip that I happened […]
