Whitetail Weekly, Bucks, Birds and Briars

May 11, 2012

As we headed north towards the property I couldn’t help but be excited.  Not only was I going to get to spend the entire weekend up at the cabin, I was also going to get to check our trail cameras for the first time this year.  I wasn’t totally sure what I’d find but I was [...]

We were pleased to see that the Southline Plot was looking good after all the work we put into it last year.

Whitetail Weekly, A Good Start

May 1, 2012

In last week’s entry I said that the 2012 season had officially started. In honor of the season’s start we headed up to the property last week for some investigating/scouting, shed hunting and just plain wandering around. We had a few things in mind that we wanted to accomplish but the trip would be a [...]

Deer Beds to Food Plots: maximizing a small property for deer

April 25, 2012

Introduction What size do you think a tiny hunting parcel is? It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if some of you answered 500 acres. Well, what about 200 acres? Can you imagine 100 acres? Certainly 40 acres probably would seem extremely small to most, however, what if I were to tell you that an early [...]

Whitetail Weekly, Let the Fun Begin

April 22, 2012

I will be the first to admit that the last few months haven’t exactly been the most exciting times in the history of Whitetail Weekly.  Between being in the peak of our “off-season” and staying close to home awaiting the birth of our second child I didn’t spend much time in the woods generating good [...]

Hunting Spring Turkeys

April 16, 2012

I quietly slipped off the safety.  He came into range, did a 360 and ran straight back the way he came. I sat there shivering in stunned amazement.  After sitting statue still in a blowdown since a hour before light in 3” of freshly fallen snow I had just blown my 1st and only chance [...]

The large seating area was a pleasant surprise and offers a very comfortable spot from which to spend several hours on stand.

Whitetail Weekly, Product Review; “The Stump” from Treeline Treestands

March 28, 2012

You’ve found the perfect spot to ambush an unsuspecting deer or turkey from. The ground cover is naturally thick but just to be safe you’ve also added a few more limbs to provide that extra bit of concealment. You set up your portable seat or you plop down your cushion and lean up against the [...]

Whitetail Weekly, Trail Cam 2011: Our Best of the Best

March 26, 2012

As we near the 2012 trail camera season I have been spending a lot of time looking back at our 2011 pictures.  We ended up with a few thousand pictures last year (I won’t lie to you, I didn’t sit down and count them all) and I have been going through and deleting the blurry shots, [...]

Whitetail Weekly, Spring Fever

March 11, 2012

It’s been a slow couple of weeks for me in terms of deer hunting related activities.  Since winter finally decided to show up I actually managed to get out snowmobiling two weekends in a row.  It’s hard to believe that the last two weekends were my first, and only, snowmobile trips of the winter but [...]

Whitetail Weekly, Better Deer Hunting Through Shed Hunting

March 2, 2012

As I slid along a small ditch that cut through a thick travel corridor full of cover I couldn’t help but notice all the sign in the area.  The deer runs were sunk into the earth from years of heavy use and several trees, including a few pretty good sized ones, showed scars from buck [...]
