    One & Done

    Turkey hunting was once again on the back burner this year. For the first couple weeks of the season I was still busy shed hunting. After that, my wife and I took a vacation and then I was gone for work at training. Next thing I knew fourth season had arrived and it seemed like I hadn't been...

    Drama

    Here's the thing ... way back in 2002 when Iowawhitetail was still in its infancy, people had a different mindset. Fast-forward 12 years and things have changed drastically. I understand that with time, people and things change, but things have begun to spiral out of control on here to the point...

    Close encounter while hanging stand ...

    Yesterday afternoon I slipped into a spot I've hunted the past two years to hang a couple stands and make sure things were good to go. I finished with the first stand and was nearly done with the second when I heard something. I looked up to see one of my target bucks closing the distance! I was...

    Dick Idol John Breen Buck Sculpture

    I have a Dick Idol sculpture of the John Breen buck for sale. These sculptures are not made of true bronze, but rather a resin that is made to look like bronze. The sculptures were part of the auction package at National Wild Turkey Federation banquets back in the early 2000s. It has the NWTF...

    20 year-old Michael Sieve turkey print for sale

    In order to thin out my print collection a little I'm selling one of the first pieces I ever bought. Michael Sieve's "Blindsided" came out in 1993 and I had it professionally framed and matted as seen in the photo. The image size is 17" x 29" and the frame measures 27-1/2" x 38". The print comes...

    Dad & Step-Mom Whackin' & Stackin'

    My dad and step-mom, Jan, have been seeing some pretty good action over the first two days of the season. They managed to double up on a pair of longbeards opening morning despite the windy conditions. Jan downed her bird just before 6:30 at seven yards and Dad nailed his about seven minutes...

    To move or not to move ... ???

    Looking for some advice here guys, and I think I already know the answer to my question ... maybe. I've hunted a particular spot two out of the last three days as it works well for southerly winds. The first time I hunted the stand this year (Saturday evening) I saw a solid 150-class 10 point...

    Halloween

    As we near the final day of October one can almost feel something magical in the cold autumn air and something starts to stir inside me ... and no, I'm not referring to Packnasty's post! :D It's something we look forward to each year, like a child looks forward to Christmas morning. I can't help...

    Second Chance Buck

    This story begins on November 3, at which time I rattled in a 130-class 10-point buck to 15 yards. Since I'd seen bigger deer in the area and knew there were bigger bucks on some other farms I had to hunt I looked him over and decided to pass him up. That same morning I grunted in a 130-class...

    A Couple Targets

    Here are two bucks that have been hanging in the same area now for the last month or so. I'm hoping to get a crack at one of them ... preferably the droptine buck. Any thoughts on scores? -Longspurs-

    Mule Deer

    I don't think I've ever posted these photos on here, but I came across them the other day and thought everyone would enjoy seeing them. On November 27, 2007, I was on my way home from Mason City after (and against my better judgement) I'd braved the crowds during the day after Thanksgiving...

    Wife's First Turkey A Dandy

    Yesterday around this time my wife, Lillee, and I were heading for a favorite hunting spot in Winneshiek County. The farm had not been hunted since my dad and step-mom were there about two weeks ago so I had high hopes of working some birds. When we left the truck for the half-mile walk out the...

    Off To The Races

    I've been hunting hard so far this year trying to fill my bow tag but just haven't been able to get it done. My brother was able to tag a bird I called in during second season, which was a huge high point for me. My wife is also turkey hunting but we haven't been able to get a bird in range for...

    A Turkey For My Brother

    Since early this year my brother and I had been planning to hunt second season together in an attempt to get him a turkey. It's been about 10 years (maybe more) since the last time my brother and I chased turkeys. We've always been close, but it seems life's commitments have gotten in our way...

    I love a rainy night!

    Ok, so maybe the title of this post isn't always true - if ever, when you're in the woods - but it was last night. I finally managed to get a bead on one, even though it wasn't with my bow as I would have liked it to be. Either way, I'm not complaining. I planned to hunt yesterday afternoon...

    He's Alive!!!

    I went to a stand for the first time tonight and saw what I'm 99% sure is the buck I wounded last year and didn't recover. Needless to say, I was devastated when it happened last Nov. 7 and I'm still not proud of it. Things took a turn for the better after the gun seasons closed and I saw the...

    Expandables or fixed-blades for black bears?

    Hopefully there are some of you out there who can help me out with this one. I'm leaving Friday for a black bear hunting trip in Ontario and I'm debating what would be better - shooting expandable broadheads or fixed-blades ...? Both shoot well out of my bow but I wonder which would be better...

    Longspurs' 2006 Turkey

    Here are a few photos from this year's turkey season. It took me quite a few outings before I finally put one down but it was well worth the effort. I hunted the first three seasons with my bow without success. I had several close calls but nothing panned out. Finally, during fourth season...
