    How Life Changes

    Hey gents! I know I've been MIA for a hot bit, figured I'd stop back in an give you guys the scoop. Unfortunately, life doesn't work out the way you plan and I got divorced in Nov. Not what I planned on happening but, have to roll with what life gives you. The boys and I are much happier now...

    PA turkey hunting: Allegheny National Forest

    Hey gents. Heading up to the ANF this week for a few day hunting trip with my buddies. Should be a great time! Anyone been up around the Hearts Content/ Hickory Creek Wilderness area lately? We have been hunting the ridge for years but I'd also like to have some back up plans if anyone has heard...

    Building a "wall"

    So, I'm done with the neighbors. Lol. I know we've all been there once or twice. Let me first say, they are respectful (or at least, appear to be) about property lines. They always call when they shoot deer from their box blind....that's 20' away from the property line [emoji58]. The issue tends...

    Trailer Blind build

    So, I figured I'd keep you guys updated with my newest project. I have an old, 4x8 trailer in my wood shed, it was full of junk that we moved into it when we moved in 10 years ago. We decided that this is the year we empty it, strip it down and build a mobile blind. Step 1: strip down,clean...

    Iks

    No me, but that's okay! My best friend connected on a stud today on our farm. He saw the same deer in the AM and went back in the PM and he came back around. So pumped. No idea who the buck is too, roamer! I'll be back out tomorrow AN hoping to see one of the shooters!

    Pennsylvania Taxidermist help

    I know you guys have some contacts for a lot of people. Here's my dilemma. I'll be hunting PA for gun opener like always Nov. 26-28. I don't expect much, as I haven't even seen a buck, let alone had a shot at one. Lol. Had a couple of buddies in camp soon some in years past. It's Allegedly...

    The Woes of Blue Spruce Outfitters

    As I sit here and stew inside, cleaning for my son's party tomorrow, I feel compelled to share the story of how it all fell apart. As all stories go, let's start from the beginning. The farm is an 150 acre working, cut-your-own Christmas tree farm, which presents a set of challenges as it...

    Sharing hunting land..or not.

    Okay. I really don't expect to get any mind blowing answers but, figured you guys are a pretty good group to vent to. So I have a little over 170 acres on my main farm to hunt. But the true "huntable" acreage is probably 40 acres, maybe a bit more. The rest is fields of Christmas trees. I'm...

    Noble county deer & turkey?

    Hey, you bunch of miscreants! [emoji16] I figure you guys would be a good source of info. A good friend of mine just picked up a small piece (40 acres) of land in Noble County, right outside Dexter City. I have no clue what the area holds as far as deer and turkey populations. I did see the area...

    Broadcasting corn.... Chronicles of Blue Spruce Outfitters

    Hey gents. I think I'm gonna start chronicling the adventures in habitat management here at our main farm in Medina county. We've been doing it for around 6 years now and have seen HUGE differences in both deer & turkey density and quality. Always looking to learn more and get some more ideas...

    Turkey hunting: Ashtabula county near Orwell

    Hey my friends! Trying for a double this year. Going out to a property we have in Orwell of State Route 45 on Monday AM. Haven't ever been out that way to hunt turkey. Every year I hunt deer there for a couple days, to no avail (lots of Amish around there [emoji52]) . Lol. Anyways. Wanted to...

    Anchoring ground blind

    It seems I have nothing better to do than pick everyone's brains here. I promise. I do. I have two jobs. Lmao. Anyways. Anyone have any creative ideas on how to keep a ground blind staying put out in the field. Putting my turkey blinds up this weekend and it seems that no matter how well I stake...

    Giving some new life to an old decoy

    So. In my infinite free time and boredom (the boys nap time. Lol) I decided to give an old decoy some life. I probably bought this decoy 7-8 years ago. Just a cheap plastic one and decided to make it look respectable against my Avian X's. A little acrylic paint and I'll be spray painting a semi...
