Good To Be Home For a Few Days

November 29, 2010

I landed at home in time for Thanksgiving and I had lots to be thankful for; mainly just being home. I’ve been on the road since late October and a month away from the ones you love and your own bed definitely makes for a great homecoming. I’m still hugging my family!

Flower Power

November 17, 2010

Here’s another update from the road. I just wrapped an adrenaline week of bowhunting whitetails in central South Dakota’s grain country. Instead of hunting big blocks of timber I opted to hunt standing sunflowers and believe me, it was truly flower power!
My good friend Cody Warne operates Warne Ranches for pheasant and whitetail hunts. His [...]

The Sweet Smell of Success

November 15, 2010

Neither unusually hot temperatures, cactus nor dumb decisions could stop me from tagging my first whitetail of the season. Yes it was hot last week. Yes I had to crawl several hundred yards to make the shot. Yes I made a dumb decision and actually thought too much about this buck.

Corn, Sunflowers and Sloughs

November 4, 2010

This week I’m back in my old stomping grounds of South Dakota archery hunting rutting whitetails. One of my good friends from Wyoming was over here the week prior and had a close encounter with a giant that he figured would come close to the state archery record. I’m wishing for that, but hoping for [...]

Snow Already

November 2, 2010

It’s been a warm fall; almost too warm for most of my hunts. That all changed the other day when I awoke to a real, raging blizzard in Wyoming. The wind had blown for several days and I heard all night long, but when I awoke to prepare for the morning’s hunt it was a [...]
