    Good Run Today

    I went out solo today with my 2 beagles and they jumped one up pretty quick. Ended up being a nice clean run totaling a half mile that circled the rabbit right back to me. I’m posting a pic of my gps screen because it’s rare to see a nice clean run before the tracks start running all over each...

    Back on the board!

    As some of you know I didn't hunt much last year due to my wife's battle with lymphoma. Well she finished all her treatments last winter and is getting back to her self more these day so I was able to get back to the woods with my bow this season. I have had my own issues with some pretty bad...

    Schwacker broad heads

    Last year I made a good shot on my buck and still had a hard time tracking him because of the lack of blood trail from my Montec G5 broadhead. My brother had a similar result from his. I decided this year to try a broad head that would leave a better blood trail. After doing a bunch of research...

    Black Coyote!

    Hey everyone! I've been mostly lurking since life has taken a few turns for me. The latest was my wife of 34 years being diagnosed with lymphoma. Anyway, I've only been out a couple of times and decided with everything going on, it would take a really nice buck for me to launch an arrow. I...

    Hard core rabbit hunting!

    Took my son and some of his buddies out rabbit hunting yesterday with our bows. I wasn't expecting much from the dogs with 7 inches of fresh snow. I figured most of the rabbits would be holed up but was surprised when the dogs started running as soon as they hit the brush. We missed quite a few...

    I know something too!

    I know there is a huge buck running around Southern Ohio. If you have not seen the trail cam pics of this monster you have to take a look at him! So far there are 32 pages of comments on him and people are saying he could be a potential new world record buck! I thought I would pass this on to...

    Cabela's today Grand Opening!

    I thought I had was getting lucky because I took the day off for my wife having a small surgery at 10 am this morning. The surgery was being done right down the road from the new Cabela's and the doors were opening at 11:00. She said it would only take 30 minutes so in the back of my mind I was...

    Coyote Challenge.....declaration of war!

    Ok guys, some of us talked about a coyote killing contest in hopes of saving some fawns this spring. I set my first ever snares yesterday, only set 8 trying to cover entrances into a field where I bowhunt. Well, I took 2 the first night and I must say it was quite a rush walking up on the dogs...

    Rabbit hunt to remember

    Took the pack out today with my son Jeremy and a buddy of his Nick. Up until today, we have used only the bows this season for our rabbit hunts but we decided to use the scatterguns today so we could put some more meat in the bag. I used my BFR 410 revolver, Jeremy and Nick both used 20 gauge...

    Rabbit hunted with the bows today!

    Had a great birthday today hunting rabbits with my son Jeremy and a good friend of ours, Coury. We did it the hard way and used the bows today. Ended up with a couple in the bag and knocked the fur off of 8 more! Had a couple of them pinned down with an arrow and they still managed to wiggle off...

    Tree Stand Height

    I have read where some guys are sitting 30 feet up in their stands and it has made me wonder what height most people set their stands at and why. I am normally around 15 to 20 feet, because I think it keeps me under the canopy and gives me a better shot angle. I'd like to hear thoughts from some...

    Not the way it was supposed to end!

    Well, I was driving home from work today and I saw a local law enforcement vehicle parked behind the barn where I bowhunt. I drove back to ask him what was going on. I arrived and said, Hey how are you officer? He replied that he was doin ok, so I told him he was in my deer hunting area, and ask...
