This new product brought to market by Covert Scouting Cameras caught my eye right away when I first noticed it at the ATA show this past winter. "Covert" is the perfect name for such a camera, it's tiny only 5 1/2" high x 3 1/2" wide x 2 1/4&quo...

The evening of October 17th did not start off as I had planned. I took my Lone Wolf Assault and climbing sticks in with me in an attempt to really hug a good bedding area that I thought was holding a good buck that I hadn't touched yet.... It turned out that I couldn't find a tree with any...

I am not known as a "nanny whacker", in fact most years I do not hunt does at all. I have always reserved doe hunting for after I have filled my buck tag. This year was a little different as I planned on taking a doe early as long as it was while hunting a low impact setup and would...

Here is one thing I have learned.... There is an easy way and a hard way to cut in stand locations. Over the years through trial and error I have found the essential tools of the trade to get the job done as fast and easy as possible with leaving minimal disturbance to the area.&...

Every now and then you come across a spot that just tells you to put a lock on up rather than pack in your stand for the hunt. This spot only tells me that once every 3 years though because of the crop rotation on the fields. It is a long walk from my parking area and right o...

The night before last I finally decided enough was enough. Wit...

Well, not completely blind anyhow. To follow is a few photos of a buck who appears to be blind in his left eye as well as a non typical antler on the same side.
He appears to be at least 3 years old and has always traveled alone when I have got trail cam photos of him at my ...

After arriving home with the new stand, the very first thing I did after opening the box was weigh the stand to see if their advertised weight matched my scale. According to my scale, the stand weighed 19 pounds rather than the 18 they claim. May be my scale.... May not be? To close to tell a...

"On November 6, a relative, Dona Viereck, called to tell us that she was driving to Canton , South Dakota and had seen a buck in the distance with his head down. It wasn't moving, and although she honked the car horn repeatedly, he wouldn't raise his head.
She grabbed her bi...
