The last two seasons have been very limited for me. Both years I ended up at Mayo clinic for extended stays fighting off Non Hodgkins Lymphoma and trying to stay alive. Thankfully, so far that plan has worked. So needless to say I was looking forward to bow season this year. Halloween time...

I will be going to Eagle Lake later in May. I assume we will be targeting walleye and pike. I have not been to Canada since I was a young lad and have not even been fishing in northern MN for longer than I care to mention. Because of that my tackle is not what I should be going up there with...

Thank you. It's pretty overwhelming the showing of support from the Iowa Whitetail community has shown me in the last couple weeks. I would not have discussed my situation first but my nephew felt the need to spread the word here with a post. And I'm glad he did. I'm completely humbled that...

What is the heaviest fish you ever shot? This one was 70lbs even on the local COOP's certified scale.

My son, my nephew and myself had a blast collecting supper on the grill. There was a few booner size frogs that we lost. Sent from my SM-G935R4 using Tapatalk

I didn't draw a Alaska moose hunt tag this year. Did anyone here apply for a hunt up there?

I've had Luminocks and Nocturnals and not really impressed with either one. Thought's on other brands?

What do you bring along to the stand in your pack? I like to bring no more than I think I need or might want. Here's a list. Gloves face mask range finder knife gerber tool flashlight head flashlight water

Wanted to let you guys know. I have been making hand turned slate calls for a year now and pretty much have nailed down how to make them not only look good but sound good as well. The most popular ones I've been selling are the laminated calls. I mix and glue several species of wood together in...

Now that all the deer hunting is over I thought I should update my friends here with my health issues. I DON'T HAVE ANY. Well, not completely true. I have a case of shingles right now. But I was at Mayo last week for a one month check up and PET scan after my last chemo treatment and everything...

Seems like every year during the rut I have had bucks seemingly pay no attention to my down wind scent. I know it's there but they seem to not care at all. This doesn't happen all the time but I have noticed it enough to make me think about it. Because of the does, I still try to hunt a stand...

Here's a couple of pics from the other night. Look at the time/date stamp. The cam was about 40 yards from my stand. I climbed down when legal shooting hours were over. I never saw or heard this deer when I was in the process of packing up and climbing down.

After checking the wind situation and receiving reports of deer sightings from the land owner I decided that a stand I have on a field edge would not work so I headed to a corner with some cover and sat on the ground. Within a half hour I had some does come out and start feeding and soon after...

I turned these out recently. The pots are walnut with oak accent for contrast with different profiles on each and the strikers are zebra wood with birch tops. Everything is finished with four coats of hand rubbed tung oil.

My brother had this little Samurai sitting in his garage for 8 or 9 years. I always bugged him about selling it to me but he either said no or maybe. My sister-in-law and nephew decided to sell it and thought I should have 1st shot at it to sort of keep it in the family. It hasn't been on the...

I will be heading to Dallas and Houston to visit family Monday for a couple weeks. The second half of the trip will be with my nephew and son and 3 of my brothers friends as we continue the tradition of our spring hog hunt. It will be different not having my brother there that's for sure. I...

For over two years I've been fussin with my right shoulder. I had mostly lost range of motion without pain to the side but front to back was better. I had a MRI a year and a half ago and it showed only a bad case of tendonitis and arthritis. So I did 3 month's of PT and that really didn't help...

Tuesday after work I moved a stand to a spot that most would think was stupid. Other than a trail there wouldn't be a reason to put a stand where I did. Kinda in the middle of the woods. But from a stand on top of the hill I could see that the trail was used as a travel route by mostly bigger...

I've believed for years that it is impossible to tell if a young buck will ever amount to anything. Especially after having a long discussion with a captive deer breeder. Shooting a smaller buck to get him out of the gene pool? How could anyone know what the deer would have turned into...

Early last Thursday morning my brother and best friend lost his battle with pancreatic cancer. He fought it as hard as he could but I think his body and mind finally had enough and died peacefully in his sleep at home. His funeral was Monday, but Tuesday I sat in his manroom with my sons, dad...
