Finally the time of checking trail cameras has come for me. It’s always an exciting feeling when; you have a chance to see what pictures you have on the camera that you put out there. It’s a self-fulfilling feeling for me personally. I did all the work, I trimmed all the trees, I put the […]
After last year’s events from hunting season I have been waiting to get my trail cams out. Seeing all the up and coming deer, watching them grow, and hoping the big ones make it through the winter has me biting my nails every time you look at the pictures. When the antlers drop and shed hunting begins, […]

After having my cameras out for over a month it was finally time for my First Card Pull. Well I have checked one anyway. The camera I checked is on a 145 acre farm just three miles from my house. This is not one of my “good” farms but it is one that is close enough that […]
I pulled camera cards for the second time of the summer and I was pleased with the results of my second card pull. There were some great pictures of my number one target buck “Kenny” as well as another good ten point buck that is hanging out with him. There were also a few really […]
We got a chance to lease a farm in our area. This is my first time of leasing ground to hunt on but I can read the writing on the wall that if you want a good place to hunt you are going to have to pay for it or have it in the family. […]
It started early this year with the first picture of this buck showing up on June 7 and me wondering what he will look like once the season came. To say the least I have been pleased each time I see him the more excited I get. He gets bigger every time I see him […]
Ok folks I have a little story of a deer I called “The Freak” and yes I realize how plain that name is but it’s what we called him. The story of this deer was 4 years in the making. On October 30th of 2008 I got a bunch of pics of this 3.5 year […]

If you remember from part one of Low Pressured Whitetails, I discussed several options that hunters have to pursue whitetails that are not heavily pressured. I highlighted that chances of success dramatically increase when hunting pressure is minimalized. There are many options available for us to do this. Last time I focused on hunting public […]
I love when July comes around, not because of the heat or the lack of rain, but because this is the time of year when people begin to pull cards from their trail cameras and are placing bucks onto their “hit” list. I love seeing what my fellow pro and field staff members are finding […]

Summer time prep… With the bow opener in Nebraska kicking off September 1st this year. I’ll be hunting with good friend, field staff member Ryan Warrick. The prep work has just started.
