Iowa Buck Down… On the board

It was that time of the year, fall crisp air and a full moon days away. It was time to be in the deer woods. I was hunting an area that I knew had two good bucks that had made my hit list for 2012. I had one of those very bucks at 20 yards […]

BOW SPEED & NOISE

Noise is a major issue for bowhunters, and yet relatively few give it the attention it deserves, believing that a deer cannot possibly “jump the string”, when an arrow is shot from one of today’s “fast” bows. I shoot one of the fasted bows on the market the PSE EVO, advertized speed of 345 fps. […]

Bowhunter… the Safety of Sport

There are very few things I’ve been associated with over the years that have the ability to give such personal gratification as Archery hunting.  Regardless of species hunted, nimrods have many limitations that other hunters are not presented with in their hunting career.  The ability to ethically harvest any of Mother Nature’s creatures is invigorating […]

Almost Closed the Deal on Lucky

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 […]

Closing in on 100 “YOUR ADVENTURES” with Jon Yokley

This past weekend was full of great expectations and dreams of filling my Arizona fall Bear tag which would be my 100th animal with a bow. What made this hunt so special was to have the brand new Destroyer 350 LE that my friends at Bowtech made sure that it was in my hand. I […]

Fowl Rain

Lookin’ to the Fields for Early Whitetails

Early! Early! Early! I can’t wait for opening weekend. I take the first chance I can to get out and hunt whitetails.  I live for the openers; I like to use this time to hunt from a blind or a tree stand on the edge of a field, because one thing it does is allow […]

Squirrels at Daybreak… “YOUR ADVENTURES” with Edwin Shirts

It was around 5AM  I woke up to get ready for a hunt that was more about my nephew then it was me. My nephew, Logan, was still asleep when I got to moving around.  My buddy Brad had already called and said he was on his way over to pick us up. He arrived and Logan was […]

Fall Turkey Classic

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 […]

Kansas Whitetails “YOUR ADVENTURES” with Brandon Wilmoth

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 […]

Bruins at Bay…“YOUR ADVENTURES” with TJ NAGEL

Being a dedicated archery hunter living in Iowa, one would think every second would be devoted to finding the best funnel or food plot to set on once the calendar hits the middle of September. Not to say I’m not still jazzed after 30 plus years of hitting the deer woods, however, new challenges are […]

“Weather” to hunt? or “Whether” to hunt? Is it even a question?

The Midwest is in for a large cool down. This weekend lows in my area will hit mid to upper 20s. This will be the first hard frost for my area.  Two things I hope it brings;  1. Deer movement & 2. Kills midge fly. The midge fly is the cause of a lot of […]

“No-Plow” Food Plot Update

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. For review the landowner had harvested a few trees this past winter and we now had some openings in the forest […]
