Buck video's

Our cam picked up some video this week. Hope you enjoy. I did :)

Bow, broadheads, and practice

This is the time of year that I tend to get a little impatient. It is football time which means Fall!!!  So, with all the stands up, food plots out, and blinds put up, all there is left to do is practice, practice, and more practice. The following pictures will show you my bow hunting set-up. I shoot a Bowtech Alligiance set at 60 pounds and shoot Goldtip XT Hunter 5575 arrows cut to 28" long. I also use Rage broadheads. Rage are a mechanical broadhead that opens up on impact and you will see what it looks like in the pictures. I have shot several deer and one bear with this set-up. I will also show you my last target shooting tonight and this group was at 40 yards.  Come on October 1st.

Ryan's target this year

The photo's following are from Ryan's cam. Man, I hope he gets a crack at this 150" hog!!!

All on the food plot....  come on October. This one might have Bradley's name on it.

Turkeys and clover

August 15, 2010

Luke and ran to Scott's farm this evening to see if the rain had greened things up a bit. We got some rain a few days ago right after we planted out Winter annuals.

BUT before we got there Luke yelled, "TURKEYS!!!" So I turned around and sure enough the neighbors had some turkeys. Here are the pics:

Also, here are some pics from our Biologic clover and chickory plot. Looking good after getting mowed and some rain. I mowed it down really close week and a half ago.

Raedy to go Huntin ya'll!!!

Favorite stand

Today I went to Doug's farm and cleared out a path to my favorite stand. This stand has been money for me the past two years and is always loaded down with rubs and scrapes. It is one that just feels right. Today I had to clear a path beside the corn for about 200 yards. The weeds were really thick, but come October (corn may be out by then anyway) it should be clear for the walk in. I like to make a trail just wide enough that I don't touch anything for scent control. Might just be me, but that is what I do. My stand and shooting lanes loooked great so no work there.

Here is my buck from last year I took out of this stand with my bow.

And the one the year before that.

I love this stand!!!

August deer pics

Well, been a while since I have posted. I have been in KY on a mission trip and in the U.P. of Michigan on vacation, so now it is time to get caught up on outdoor stuff.

For the record, Luke caught a lot of pike and crappie in Michigan but I have no pics for that. That lil guy is a machine on the water. I will post some pics in the next few days of our trip. UPBC is a great place to be and we love it there.

On July 29th I borrowed a big mower from a friend and mowed down a food plot planted in clovers and chickory. It had gotten way out of hand and you really neeed to mow 3-4 times a year to keep the clover tender and fresh for the deer AND weed competition down. This plot had gotten shoulder high with weeds and needed mowed weeks ago. I did get it done and it looks great with clovers popping up like crazy.

August 10th, Bradley Clark and I planted a Winter blend of beets and turnips for our plot. Thanks to Bradley for doing a huge part of the work with the tiller. We planted about 1/8 acre or so and top-seeded some bare spots with clover. Now we just need some rain and everything should really take off.

The following pics are from some friends that have cams out. There are many guys seeing some nice bucks. This is a great time to get pics of deer as they are moving from food to cover and cover to food. Soon that will change but right now we are getting some good deer on cams.

Here is Ryan's pics from KY. What a hog!!
