Wow what a weekend!!! Sara and I had tickets for a special Iowa Cubs game. Why was it a little different than your run of the mill baseball game? I have three words – Mossy Oak Camo. That’s right the players played in Mossy Oak jerseys at the 2nd annual Iowa NWTF Day at the […]
Well time for a new PSE, had a 2011 EVO and stepping up to a 2013 DNA and man do I have it decked out!!!
Victory Outdoors crew heads to Canada for the annual fishing trip. As always we caught a ton of fish, no real monsters but just great fishing among friends.
For me, turkey hunting is an addiction…it is the one season that I look forward to the most. Having only hunted turkeys in my home state, I am partial to what it has to offer….a fairly lengthy season, and a four “bearded turkey” limit. But, like many of you, I have found myself in the […]
Mossy Oak Shadow Grass® Blades™ is out of this World! Earlier this year, Mossy Oak released its latest pattern, Shadow Grass Blades, to the outdoor industry. With the new pattern available to consumers this fall, Mossy Oak set out to show the world its latest waterfowl pattern. “Our partners have been hard at work getting […]
It’s no secret that I love turkey hunting, spring and fall the same. In the past I haven’t hunted fall turkeys the traditional way, of busting up a flock and calling back. Instead I have just found the large fall groups and called them into range. In some cases I have even passed on taking a shot and just let […]
The Kansas Plan That Worked It’s not always that a plan works in the great outdoors but it worked for me during the Kansas muzzleloader season. I had set up several ground blinds along bean fields on my eastern Kansas farm prior to the opening of the season. Tagging along on my first hunt of […]
As an avid turkey hunter, I’m a call freak!!! I seem to have a call of every kind or make, box calls, tube calls, mouth calls, pot calls with every kind of surface. I like my collection of calls. Some get hunted some are for show and some I run only in calling contests at […]
King Kaller, top prize up for grabs was $600, and the winner is Shane Simpson. This was Shane’s second big win in the last month, earlier winning the Iowa State Open. Shane also took home first in Owl Hooting as well as Gobbling. I have known Shane for about four years now and his calling […]
When it comes to being as scent free as I can get, it’s a big deal. For many of you it’s as important as remembering to bring your bow and for some “not so much”. Removing human scent from your clothing and equipment should go without saying, but many bowhunters are either not aware of […]
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 […]
Many hunters wonder why they flub easy shots at animals when they can stack arrows on top of each other, Robin Hood-style, on the practice course. Most times, the answer is simple: It’s all of that extra gear you carry into the woods that you don’t carry onto the practice course. If you’re like me, […]
73rd King Turkey Day Festival – – September 14 & 15, 2012 – Worthington, MN Where else can you find race teams herding their star “athletes” (wild racing turkeys) down main street? The Great Gobbler Gallop is part of Worthington, Minnesota’s very own King Turkey Day festival. The King Turkey Day Board of Directors are […]
Humbled and honored Really it was kind of fun, when I was asked by a fellow outdoor writer John Phillips, of Night Hawk Publications Inc, if he could interview me for a project he was doing with PSE. I mean how does an everyday hunter and archer like myself say no to that. John asked […]
