    Thermal Drones

    I am licensed at last to fly these things commercially. Seth and I plan to collaborate so hopefully should one of you need our services in recovering a deer, pet or livestock, one of us should be able to help you out. This is amazing technology. So far I have looked for two arrowed deer. I...

    Opening day

    There is nothing better than opening day. Any opening day will do. Mason and I started the season off this morning. He bagged six. I came home empty handed. It was a fine morning, probably the nicest I can recall for opening day.

    Local legend passed away

    Roger Dillard was a local guy that came into our shop often. He was a very well know blade smith and built some amazing muzzle loaders. He hiked the Appalachia trail with nothing but a knife. He was a different breed. If it weren’t for my late FIL, I’d have never believed the stories...

    End of the line?

    I killed a buck in 2017 that is an identical twin to the deer I shot this year. They have matching stickers at the base below the brows. Matching everything except this year’s deer would probably score 15-20” bigger. I had every intention of sawing the horns off this year’s deer and...

    Mason made a video...

    Mason added another video to his YouTube. Happens to be made up of stuff I videoed this year, so yeah some of it is shaky. 😁

    Geezer

    Just found out that Geezer passed away this morning. Very sad. He was a really, really good man. I’m blessed to have called him a friend.

    Mason’s YouTube channel

    Some of you know I’ve filmed a lot of Masons hunts while he was growing up. Recently, he’s bought a much better camera and a MacBook and is learning to put together content from his adventures. The above video is from the best turkey hunt we ever had. He wanted to kill one with his bow...

    Mobile hunting roadshow

    For any of you guys that are interested, Cody D’Aquisto and several guest speakers will be holding a show a few miles from my house this Saturday. Mason, Townzen and Caleb are interested in this type of hunting. They attended a show in WVA last year. Townzen made arrangements for them to do...

    Honda Pioneer???

    Anyone have one? I’m going to drive down to KY to look at a 2020 model tomorrow evening. I don’t know anyone that owns one locally. Seems everyone I know has a Ranger... any good/bad reports?

    ET Williams Brown Recluse

    I wanted one of these things bad in the mid 90s. The bowyer was in West Palm Beach Florida. They were touted as the fastest recurve ever made at the time. He used carbon in the limbs, all very cutting edge stuff at the time. He was unapologetic about the rather high price tag, quite proud...

    I know something you don’t

    And I may let it go in for hours. Maybe even days ‘cause I think these IKS threads are awesome, especially when the OP lets it go on for hours, days, and even weeks... to the point I don’t even give a crap who killed the stupid freaking deer! So with that said, here’s a picture to turn on...

    What a mess

    If you shoot above the belly line, below the backbone... you may wind up with a mess. Don’t let a good shot ruin a great hunt.

    Weekend trip

    Jamie and I made out first trip together to Lake Erie. We drove up Sunday morning. We met up with Dr.Saggy Sack at the launch ramp and headed out. We had good intel from Chad and our buddy, Nick. It was a little bumpy by the time we reached our first spot. Nick had already been anchored...

    Lone Wolf Assault 2

    I bought one from Masons buddy. He bought it and used it last season. He and Mason went to some seminar the D’Acquisitos put on and had to order himself one of their newest models. Anyway, I don’t want this thing. I gave him 200 bucks for it, I’ll sell it for that if anyone wants it.

    A good one

    I watch a lot of YouTube in the evenings. There doesn’t seem to be much on TV to hold my interest. This is a good one if you have half an hour to kill.

    Brock/Mason 2021/22

    This will be an interesting, maybe even boring season. With Mason heading off to school, I just don’t know how much I will want to hunt. I’m certain I still have the desire to go to the woods but I doubt very much I’ll put in the effort to find specific deer to hunt. I can really envision me...

    Alone

    I love the show. Especially this season. Clay Hays is a contestant. I’m willing to bet he wins it. It’s on History if you’d like to tune in on Thursday nights.

    Getting close

    I have a hard time getting in the mood to turkey hunt. Usually about midnight the evening before opening day I start scrambling around looking for gear and getting online to purchase tags. Maybe some of you are the same so here is a video from last year that some of you may not have seen...
