    Almost started my season early

    TOO March Buck of the Month: Adam Buxton's Early Season Conquest

    I'd like to start with my apology to Adam for taking so long to get this posted. The life and times of an operational landman (and website owner) are busy as can be these days, so I am lagging behind on getting this posted. Now that I have finally have our latest BOTM ready for showtime...

    Some from last season

    I gave up the BEC's this fall. I took 'em all down the first week of season. But, here are a few pics I saved from last year... This little guy here was a regular visitor. I saw him most every day. My son had him at 20 yards once, but I didn't let him shoot as the whole situation was...

    Jesse's Off Season Thread

    Regardless of whether or not I end up bowhunting much this fall, I still have several things in the works this off season. I want to make sure I am prepared to take Tracie on several more bowhunts this fall and that we'll have some great spots for gun season. Last night marked the start of the...

    Just wanted to share some of our good times chasing squirrel this season. Both of my kids love to go squirrel hunting with me and I've been taking them since they were 2.

    2011 season

    My 2011 Ohio buck. I took him on Nov. 7th at about 11am. He was the first mature buck i saw in 4 days of sitting in 1 spot. Its a typical hill country funnel and he came thru very fast hot after a doe. It all happened in a matter of seconds. 4 dark to dark days on stand came down to a matter...

    Late Season Strategy

    Well it is time to change up the game plan for this season. I am putting my camera back out and feeding pretty steadily for the rest of the season. We got a good deal on some corn up here and between three trucks we bought 2500 lbs of corn. I split 1000lbs with Larry. Here is my truck with...

    Deer Gun Season: Ground or Treestand?

    During the Deer Gun Season, I have always hunted on the ground. As we all know, during this season a good location is very important. I feel the need to be more mobil, should the need arise that I have to shift my location for a better shot. However, I have a good hunting buddy that swears by...

    Youth Season has went to the dogs...

    Here is a little bit of what I saw/heard this weekend... Within the first hour of daylight on Saturday, I had heard 3 "kids" empty guns at deer. How many kids are capable of emptying a gun efficiently at a deer? I witnessed at least 4-5 truck loads of "kids" setting up to do drives with no...
