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 [...]

Corners will forever be "the one that got away".  I may not have been able to harvest him but I certainly learned a thing or two from him.

Whitetail Weekly, Top 5 Deer Hunts of the Season

January 29, 2012

Last year around this time I came up with the idea to do a “Top 5″ entry detailing my 5 favorite hunts of the season.  It was a fun entry to put together and seemed to spark some conversation as well so I decided I would do it again this year.  I remember it being difficult to [...]

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 [...]

Ten Deer Scouting Tips

August 29, 2011

By Milton F. Whitmore Scouting is an integral part of my yearly deer hunting experience. I get as much pleasure from finding new hunting areas and then plotting the perfect ambush as I do from the actual hunt. Living “up north” in deer country allows me to spend time driving and hiking in areas with [...]
