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 am sure that we have all heard the phrase, “A trophy is in the eye of the beholder.” I believe this statement to be all too true when referring to whitetail deer. I have friends that will proudly take any opportunity at any deer that presents itself. They are happy to put some meat in the […]

Here it is late July, for me this will be my first trail camera card pull of the summer. For me this is the time of year that you can really get a good idea of what a buck is going to look like this fall. Yes there is still time for them to grow […]
On July 19th, I went out with my mother to a spot where I have had a stand for a few years now. I have yet to shoot or see anything with size there, but it has very good potential. Last year, right before bow season, I had a few nice bucks walk in front […]
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 […]
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 […]
I was asked on FaceBook the other day… What is the best product for putting inches on antlers? I’m not sure there is an answer to that. Sure there are tons of products out there that are designed to help you “grow” big bucks. Do they work, some do for sure but there isn’t a […]
Pulled another group of cards this morning. It amazes me at how some deer grow faster than others and then sometimes they just explode. With this pull, these cameras are on new leases at Whitetail Xtreme Hunts just got this year. As the manager of Whitetail Xtreme Hunts, I need an inventory of bucks on each […]
