Boots..check, backpack..check, trail cameras..check, spare clothes and some bottled water..check and check. All the usual suspects were accounted for and it was business as usual up until I [...]

Shed hunting can be enjoyed by folks of all ages. My son joined me for the first time last spring at the age of 2.

Whitetail Weekly, Shed Hunting the Fiscal Cliff

March 18, 2013

Just in case you may have somehow missed it, the current economic status of our country isn’t exactly great. Terms like fiscal cliff, sequester, deficit and furlough have taken front page status in the news and there is no indication they are going anywhere in the near future. With the economy in limbo it’s no [...]

While all stands tend to be placed in areas of good deer movement it takes more than that to make a great stand.

Whitetail Weekly, Getting Your Stands “Spot On”

January 24, 2013

As any deer hunter knows, getting your stand in just the right spot can be a process of trial and error even when you think you have it all figured out ahead of time. Often times when you think you know just how a deer will behave they show you that you were close, but [...]

Whitetail Weekly, Bow Hunting the Late Season

December 11, 2012

Early antlerless season is a distant memory, the main bow season is long gone and the firearms season is done and over with. Some area’s are into muzzleloader season now but if you are a bowhunter at heart like I am than you are smack dab in the middle of the late archery season. The [...]

Whitetail Weekly, Changing Things Up

November 12, 2012

With this season being unexpectedly slow for us I was a little surprised when I came to a rather interesting realization the other day. Looking back through my journal for the season reveals a lot of slow hunts and multiple sits where no deer at all were seen. While it’s hard for me to explain why things have [...]

Whitetail Weekly, The Season’s Off and Running

October 25, 2012

As I sit and write this we have put three full weeks of the 2012 deer season behind us already. Holy cow, that’s the first time I’ve looked at it that way and it’s actually a bit depressing!! It seems like it just got started and now we’re nearly through the first month of the [...]

Watch Out and Be Careful

October 12, 2012

You never know what wild animals are going to do. Try as you might to harvest a deer, go up north, tromp thru the woods or sit on a prime spot, it’s hard to do for the average person. Most times just to see a deer is a big deal, not so in Wyandotte recently. [...]

Whitetail Weekly, Last Minute Deer Season Preparations

September 21, 2012

Most of the year the sands of time seem to creep through the hourglass at a painfully slow pace as we work towards deer season. It seems as if the new season will never get here, it’s sometimes hard to believe we’ll ever take to the woods again. Then, as if somebody cranked open an invisible [...]

With only a few weeks left to go before we hit the woods it’s time to unveil the 2012 Whitetail Weekly Hit List. This summer proved a bit more difficult than last year in terms of getting good bucks in front of the cameras but we still managed to find a few. Early on we [...]
