So 2 weeks ago I won an auction that allowed me to hunt on 160 acres of land. I decided after the storm, it was time to go in and see if I could find a deer to kill. The property is rolling with fields, old woods, cattails and a few lakes. Perfect area for…
Yesterday was quite the day. All day accumulation of snow. I was excited to see that would happen in the food plot. Usually when we get snow all the deer disappear for the year. I thought about going hunting but decided to stay out of the plot. I would just watch from the house. All…
Wednesday I put some corn out in front of my dad stand in front of a field camera. With the cold weather coming I wanted to see if maybe a big buck would get hungry enough to come into a corn pile starving. I decided to go check it out to see if it had been hit…
We are now 2/3 of the way through hunting season. The rut has come and gone. My mind is starting to drift from big bucks to fishing. My favorite time to deer hunt is now over. However, I still have a little bit more hunting to do and a couple tags in my pocket. I…
Decided to make one last trip north. Pulled in yesterday hoping to hunt but I forgot just about everything I could and had to make a run to town. I did check my K2 area field camera and there wasn’t anything great on the cam Today I slept in and got out around 11. I…
So I was doing some work on my computer today while watching the food plot. We had deer in the plot all afternoon but only one or two at a time. It was in the 50’s with open skies. This was the fewest deer we have seen all season and we have been staying out…
Every year hunters hit the woods in search of the elusive whitetail. Some will succeed at killing; other will never get an opportunity. The hunters that don’t succeed then look for an answer or somebody else to blame. However, is there anyone else to blame but possibly yourself? I believe the key to great hunt…
As of my last journal entry, I decided to stay out of my plot stand until some pattern or something changed. Not sure what I was looking for but I had seen nothing but does for a long time. All my field camera pictures had nocturnal bucks and I had been hunting on and off…
The wind has finally stopped. Deer have probably missed out on a lot of feeding opportunities. I decided to sit in our plot stand one more time. If I don’t see a buck tonight it’s time to rest the plot. I’m still getting a lot of night time pictures but very little day time. This…
Alright, here we go. Back in the plot and we have 3 new rubs within 10 ft of the blind. This is the exact reason I wanted to keep a journal of my hunts. Also, a year ago yesterday I passed on the biggest buck I have ever passed. It’s been blowing for 3 days.…
