This doe is the third deer we've seen since last fall with a heavily split ear.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Good looking deer and good looking scenery come together for the "Overall" winner.

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, [...]

Good rubs, like this one I found this year, definitely get noted in my journal.

Whitetail Weekly, Keeping a Journal of your Hunting Season

January 21, 2012

If you follow my blog at all you have probably heard me preach a time or two on the benefits of Keeping a Journal of your Hunting Season. I like to write more than most people so it is no surprise that I would keep a journal but even if you aren’t a fan of [...]

Food Plot Patterns for Deer Habitat Designs

January 19, 2012

*www.whitetailhabitatsolutions.com In 2005 I made a major blunder on a very important planting on our WI Lease. It was a brassica planting and before some of you bemoan brassica plantings, consider it was not the variety of seed that was the problem. On our lease we have an incredible SW leg of a food plot [...]

Food Plot Designs: Thin is In

January 19, 2012

A question I often get asked is, “What is your favorite food plot shape?” To me, there is no real obvious “one size fits all” answer. Most often the lay of the land and topography will dictate what is needed, but really the one common denominator is as long as possible…and as THIN as possible. [...]

Last year I called this clump of small oaks home during a late season "run and gun" hunt.

Whitetail Weekly, The Off-season Starts In Season

December 31, 2011

First off, let me say that I hope everyone had a great Christmas and got the chance to enjoy some quality time with family and friends. With all the hustle and bustle that comes along with the holidays it can sometimes be hard to remember to slow down and enjoy it. Personally I seem to [...]

Whitetail Weekly, December Bowhunting

December 16, 2011

The Search For Survivors It’s no secret that here in Michigan by the time the calendar hits December the deer herd has taken quite a beating. They have been through a month and a half of archery season as well as a two week long onslaught from the firearms hunters. The herd is much smaller [...]

Using a Deer Decoy in a Food Plot

November 2, 2011

Last week I set a plan that, based on what I had seen the weekend before, should have been money in the bank. The deer had been coming to rattling the weekend before so I was going to deploy a deer decoy in a food plot this weekend to further entice the bucks to enter [...]
