By Dan Gorman This time of year is my favorite time to get out and do some scouting to prepare for next deer season. I had a little time last weekend to get out and walk the property to see if there were any shed antlers to be had. I didn’t find any sheds, but […]
After my last post about canning deer meat, I received some questions about other processing I do, so I thought I’d write a follow up about making sausage. I’ll try to keep this fairly generic, as the basic principles can be applied to many different types of sausage, but this will specifically be about making […]
By Dan Gorman I started dabbling in meat processing about ten years ago, and I took my last full deer to the locker in 2009. There were several factors that influenced my decision to do everything myself. The first was price. The last deer I took in cost $419 to process. A lot of this […]
I attended my first outdoor 3D shoot of the year Sunday morning. It was the appropriately named “blizzard shoot” at the Anamosa bowhunters club. This is my local club, so I try to make as many of the shoots as I can to help support them. I walked out the door in the morning and […]

The first full week of December in Iowa, I hang the bow up for a few days and get together with friends and family for the first shotgun season. The season is only five days long, so you try to make the most of every minute of legal shooting time. This is a time when […]
I haven’t had any luck this year hunting, but I pulled camera cards over the weekend and I can tell November is getting closer. I have a couple good bucks making random appearances along the river and my scrape cam is starting to pick up. The ridge cam has been a bit of a disappointment, […]
As the new season is quickly approaching, and final preparations are being made, I thought I’d write about some changes I’m making this year as well as some things that remain the same over the years. One of the main changes that was made on the property is a small finger of crop field that […]
With archery season being slightly more than a month away, I’m starting to get seriously excited to be back in a treestand. I feel like I am way behind this year, so I will be spending quite a bit of time in the next month getting things ready and organized for the year. One of […]
I’ve been running trail cameras for about nine years, and I would consider my addiction to have become serious about five years ago. By serious, I mean I have at least one camera out all year. I run cameras for deer and turkey, but also for predators, and surveillance, and just plain fun. I mostly […]
Practice Safe Hunt Safe seem easy right… Dan Gorman shares tips of how to best practice for this upcoming season all while staying safe!
My family makes it a point to grow a large portion of our own vegetables and preserve them for use throughout the winter. We have a large garden which is roughly 50′ x 120′ where we grow the majority of our vegetables. We also plant 12 rows of sweet corn roughly 150 yards long. We […]
I recently purchased a Covert Illuminator camera. I’ve been using infrared cameras exclusively for about five years and like many others, I was worried about the flash spooking deer. I bought this camera with predators in mind, but I plan to use it along with my IR cameras for deer as well. I’ve had it […]
