    Thermal Drones

    I was nervous about using a spotlight at night to positively identify a deer. Our WO told me I had nothing to worry about. Still, in Ohio, it seems wrong to light up a deer. Technically, you’re not even supposed to shine your headlights on them. There are a lot of gray areas when it...

    2024 Spring Turkey

    We have had this decoy sitting out there for a couple weeks. Apparently the rut is on.

    My newest Widow and I are getting along well too! This was this morning. 28 yards. I took the picture because it is very rare that I stack a group that tight at that distance- but it is proof to me on bad days that it is possible.

    2024 Spring Turkey

    I suggest you all look up Dr. Michael Chamberlain on YouTube. If you’re curious as to why turkey populations have dropped all across the range, he will answer it for you. I’m happy we have cut the t back to one bird. I wish the season dates were pushed back an additional two weeks.

    For Sale - Former Winke Farm

    Very cheap. I just looked briefly at another 68 acres. It had been on the market four days. I called my agent and told her to make an offer at asking price. It was already pending at nearly double the asking price! Nice piece of ground but only for hunting. Farm wise, not so much aside...

    On another note; I flew a friends farm today. He said he had a couple hundred deer yarded up on his place due to him leaving corn standing along with food plots and security cover. He was not lying. My screen looked as if someone had sprinkled salt on it. I use white hot setting and I have...

    Paint Creek in May and the summer gathering are both good times to meet a few more…. He was a dandy buck. If he made it at least you know a couple of his go-to security spots. I’d bet money that spot we looked at next to the road has a good buck on it for years to come.
