As shotgun season approaches I have a request. I'm looking for an Iowa cape (I live in MN) to put on the first buck I ever shot - way back on December 8, 1991. I had it mounted back then but it aged quickly and looked terrible when I came off Active Duty in 2005 after I hadn't seen it for 5...

I've had a pile of bucks coming into my creek for the past month since everythig is so dry. This 8 has only missed a few nights on the cam. I want to deflate him bad. Here's one of my favorite pics of him - you can really see the body size difference in the different aged bucks.

Swung into Gander Mtn today to kill some time and ran into this Ameristep blind and my 4 year old instantly popped into my head. He's been killing every mount in my basement with his nerf dart guns for the past 2 months and I'm taking him turkey hunting in 2 weeks. When I saw this I thought...

This little man is bursting at the seams to watch a gobbler do a backflip! We've been deer and turkey hunting in the man cave for the past 2 months with every weapon known to man - nerf dart guns, lever action toy guns, nerf swords, xmas wrapping paper tubes - and blowing every call in my...

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves....we had an incredible night fishing muskies last weekend. With three fish, 2 of them being 50s, this was a night musky guys dream about. I hadn't fished all that much for the first month of the season...new baby, tough weather conditions, etc so I was...

Levi James joined us on 4/6/11 at 2:40 pm, 8 lbs 3 oz, 20 inches long, and is doing fantastic! We spent 2 days in the hospital and have been home since Friday. Big brother Lane is excited and talks about little brother all the time and keeps talking about all the things he's going to teach...

I recently won a Savage 223 Varminter Rifle at a RMEF banquet - hooyah, it only took like 2 dozen banquets to finally win a gun! :D It's a sweet gun, but the chances of me really using this gun are pretty slim so I'm going to either trade it or sell it outright. I'm looking at the new...

Just testing out the new IA Whitetail app....pretty sweet!

Ferd F-teenthousand. Hahaha! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4bJsIogkGk&feature=player_embedded

I've been meaning to post these but I keep forgetting. MN firearms deer season found me in my boat instead of in a treestand because of some details I won't bore you with. The decision to not deer hunt on opener was a good one. :D In honor of the firearms opener I just didn't feel right...

While you guys are down there hammering the bucks I'm still on the water chasing the fat girls around!! Had a killer day! Saw around 15 fish, landed 3 and had 2 more come off...could have had a 5 fish day! Buddies new personal best - a beautiful 49! We saw this fish 4 times before she finally...

Well, last summer as some of you may remember, THA4 got me hooked BAD on muskies....so bad that most of all my other outdoor hobbies have taken a back seat to chasing big teeth. After a pretty uneventful summer and fall so far with only 4 smallerish fish to show for hours and hours of casting...

3 years ago was the last time I killed a turkey....that season I was the caller on 4 hunts in a row where a tom was killed by 8 am....the last two seasons I couldn't buy myself a bird. I spent mornings and evenings of our 5 day season doing everything I could to basically screw up every set up...

So as you cats roll the jellyheads down in IA I'm still up here in MN waiting for my season which finally starts on Saturday so for now all I can do is keep watching the trail cam.... Pretty sure this is the same guy from last week that I posted....he's still showing up every day but now at...

Not a harvest pic, but since all the gobbler action is in here I thought I'd post this here. Since getting permission for this farm I've wanted to kill a bird and get a harvest pic in front of this ancient old crane that is out in the middle of the woods but haven't made it happen yet....finally...

Got this link in an email today....pretty awesome for this young NE Iowa bowhunter - scroll through the pics for the whole story! http://www.fieldandstream.com/photos/gallery/hunting/2009/12/16-year-old-arrows-197-inch-buck-christmas-lights-wrapped-around-its-

Just got my copy in the mail yesterday - the buck on the front cover is a giant and shot in southern IA. Maybe I missed it last year, but how does a buck like that not make it onto this forum somehow? Check it out if you haven't seen it....beautiful buck.

I guess it's time for me to really get back in the game! It's amazing how your views of MN deer hunting change with the addition of a trail cam...now only if I'd just bought one a few years ago. haha. Shotgun season started here on Saturday. I sat in the morning and then took a little walk...

This is officially my first trail cam post debut! For the past 3 years since I've lived where I do out in the country here in MN I have had very poor luck at seeing decent bucks, let alone shooting any. Nearly every buck I've passed bowhunting was killed during gun season by my neighbors....I...

This thing is insane....thought it was worth posting. http://http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/finding-deer-hunt/2009/10/bestul-massive-main-frame-eight-point-park-rapids-minnesota
