I Lied

December 30, 2010

I lied. I said I wasn’t going to hunt coyotes over the Christmas break, but I couldn’t help myself. We had to get my dog up to speed on how to decoy so I was forced into action.
As you can see, she did fine and it could have been better. We actually had three coyotes [...]

Sport Show Season Is Upon Us

December 29, 2010

The holidays are about over. Most of the major hunting seasons are about to close down if they haven’t already. What else is there to do? If you’re like me coyotes get a big nod of approval, but there is also the sport show circuit to consider.
I remember going to the big outdoor sport show [...]

Merry Christmas

December 23, 2010

It’s that time of year again. Merry Christmas!
I’m definitely looking forward to spending some time with my family. Since mid-August I’ve been on the road more than one-third of the year. I’m having rundown motel and old farmhouse withdrawals. Is there a 12-step program for that?
The major hunting seasons are winding down, but if you [...]

Smoke In Nebraska

December 20, 2010

I’ve landed at my desk again after two frustrating-filled weeks in Nebraska and Kansas. The plan was to get two more shows for Extreme Pursuits to add into the 2011 lineup, but I only was able to accomplish 50 percent of my goal.
Hunting for mature bucks was as difficult as listening to congressional members explain [...]

Late-Season Hunts

December 17, 2010

We’re in the heart of late-season hunts and I’m in the middle of two hunts. I’m hunting the late-season Nebraska muzzleloader season and then moving to Kansas to wrap up some bowhunting. Here are my plans.
First, I’m hunting food. Tired bucks will be hitting any food plots, agricultural crops and mast crops available. I’ll be [...]

Hunting For TV

December 14, 2010

Believe it or not, most of the hunting I do is business related so sometimes I have to make decisions based on business and expenses. For instance, when I hunted on my own I routinely went home with unfilled tags. I was perfectly happy to hunt for the biggest buck and go home empty handed [...]

Hunting For Papa Whitetail

December 9, 2010

I love big antlers and if you ever visit my house you’ll immediately see my antler fascination. Still, during hunting season you can’t always find the buck with the biggest antlers. If I can’t find a giant (and I’m often in that circumstance) I try and hunt for mature deer.
That was the case while hunting [...]

Hunting At The Speed Of NASCAR

December 6, 2010

It’s hard to imagine how crazy November can be when you’re trying to get as many hunts filmed as possible in the narrow window of the rut. This year was one of the craziest ever and oftentimes we only had three or four days to film an entire episode for Extreme Pursuits.
One of the craziest [...]

Renewing Hunting Friendships

December 2, 2010

I’m still hunting, but as I look back over the bulk of the season one thing that I always enjoy is getting together with good friends, chasing deer and making memories. Back in November I teamed up with North American Hunting Club executive director Bill Miller and freelance video photographer Ernie Lanthier for a whitetail [...]
