By Guest Blogger: Skye Goode, Mossy Oak ProStaff I have been blessed to have captured some really great trail camera pictures but I have a secret weapon. A good friend introduced me to Blackie’s Blend Magnum call lure, and now I’m obsessed when pursuing critters when there’s no season. I use it frequently in tandem with trail […]
My latest card pull was fun because I had a variety of game including bear, turkey, some cute fuzzy fawns and baby coons, as well as an old friend that returned. It’s good to see two different sets of twins and some loan fawns that made it through Wisconsin’s worst winter in decades. As […]
This spring I was fortunate enough to harvest two mature gobblers. After consuming the meat, displaying the fans and beards, and taking more pictures than necessary, I decided that I should do something with the only “true” trophy on a turkey: the spurs. Hens can have beards and jakes can have a fan that’s nearly […]

By Skye Goode As most know, I run my trail cameras year round because I love to get pictures of any critter that walks the woods. This time of year, year after year, my cameras are run down with pictures of hungry black bears that have emerged from a long hibernation and are in search […]
After going bust on the first week of the 2014 Wisconsin spring turkey opener, I begged my cousin to go hunting with me last Saturday. I figure every time that I’m in the woods alone, I have a fairly good shot at having birds in the area, but more than likely hanging up. There’s a […]
By: Skye Goode Women are traditionally homemakers and baby-raisers. Generally women have hobbies that keep them close to home or are incorporated with their children and other moms; nothing that requires them to leave the home for an extended period of time. Since the dawn of time, men have been the hunters, women the […]
The Blizzard Ghost Bird By: Skye Goode The fourth week of the 2013 spring turkey season proved to be tougher than I imagined. A May blizzard blew through the Midwest, dumping eight inches of snow on the ground. Strut marks were now seen in the white instead of the mud. Temperatures dropped to single digits […]
Late February in Wisconsin is boring. Trapping/snaring ended on the 15th. All small game seasons are coming to an end if not already completed. There’s still too much snow to shed hunt, and spring turkey season seems to be light-years away. Unless you are a yote hunter or ice fisherman, there’s literally nothing to do, […]
Last Spring, I was fortunate enough to take a good friend out in the blind after spring turkey. It was her first year hunting, so under the mentoring program, it was required so go with someone her first year. Her boyfriend had to work, so I jumped at the chance to go out and call […]
Last October, I had a prime opportunity to experience fall turkey hunting in a way I had never done before. I was introduced to Vic, a young male Vizsla and well-known turkey dog in Western Wisconsin. Vic was full of energy and seemed to be able to smell the turkeys while still in the vehicle. […]
While most people are confined to their houses because of the negative temperatures and feet of deep snow outside, my son, Jackson, and I are having a blast on our “trapline”, targeting fox and coyotes with live snares, or in Wisconsin, “Cable Restraints”. Cable restraints work much like those Chinese Finger Traps that tightened when […]
Over the years, I have put on many miles shed hunting in the early spring months in Wisconsin. It’s a hobby that I enjoy not only for the prize of finding proof that bucks made it through the winter, but also for the exercise and another excuse to be in the outdoors. Shed hunting is […]
