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 […]
Had the best bow hunt I have had this year so far! Didn’t get the shot off but I had deer start to finish. It was a warm Sunday afternoon and I wasn’t in a hurry to get to my stand. Got to my stand at 5:15PM and had just got settled in. I spotted […]
Even without much rain this year the “No-Plow” food plots worked just as I had hoped. Sure the plots that got more sunlight did better but I didn’t expect them to grow like “field” plots.

Okay it’s that time of the year to start putting together a Potential Hitlist of bucks we might like to shoot. Now I did say “potential” because trail cam pictures are great but they can be deceiving. Sometimes I just need to see that buck to know for sure if he is a shooter. Most of […]
These pictures are from two different cams that I pulled cards on August 1st, the trail cams are about ten miles apart but these are two of my better locations for getting mid to late summer pictures of bucks. Now I have good numbers of bucks on these sets, no real monsters but a few bucks worth watching. […]
Clover Clover is considered by many to be the most universal deer food and the reputation is not without merit. I can’t lie to you, it’s my favorite; I use it on every price of land I help manage, some more than others. Clover is easy to establish in most regions of the country and […]
I have had my trail cams out since the last day for turkey season; I know I’m a little overboard but with the cams on the market today why not. Most good ones run on a set of batteries for 9 months to a year, if the settings are right. So far this year I […]
Start Planning For Next Season… Now This is the first part of a three part blog on food plots, there is just not enough time or interest of the reader to want to read 2000 word spread on food plots all at once, we hunters are busy people. This is why I’m going to break […]
