    Shea got one

    I have been absolutely unmotivated to get out deer hunting for myself this year, but did get my girls tags. Shea and I went out for our second sit of the year and she scored on a nice 8 point with matching split brows. She made a perfect 50’ish yard quartering away shot. Proud of her!!!

    Women’s final 4

    If you are not doing anything right now you should turn on the women’s final 4 (ESPN). The Iowa women are in it and Caitlin Clark is something to watch. She drains 3s and dishes give-and-gos like no one I have ever seen. Pretty entertaining actually.

    Iowa Deer Classic bound

    With Shea getting a nice deer this year, we decided to make a family trip to Des Moines this weekend and enter it into the ‘big buck’ competition at the Iowa Deer Classic. I haven’t been there in 4 years so am looking forward to it. I’ve also never had a deer officially scored so decided to...

    Concrete leveling

    Anyone have any experience with raising concrete slabs with either mudjacking or polyjacking? There are 4 squares of my driveway that are dropping. About 15 feet by 15 feet square total. I’m worried if I don’t address it soon I will get cracks and it will just get worse. Anyone have this...

    My turn with Covid

    So I finally have it. A coworker I was with on Thursday around lunch (who was hacking his lungs up) told me later that day he tested and was positive. So Saturday I started feeling a bit clammy and had a temp around 99.5. Took a test on Sunday and was positive. So basically day 3 now with...

    Just a less than typical night in Iowa

    Well, maybe if you are on a low pressure farm, with an un-picked bean field...... This link is from last night. I was hunting with my other daughter Reese hoping she could try and match her little sister's buck (ain't gonna happen.... lol). We were also out tonight and had a similar number of...

    A really high 8!

    Just giving you some grief @Fletch !!! Had a real special hunt with my daughter Shea this afternoon. It was her fist time hunting this year and she shot a slammer 8 after only an hour or so in the blind. We watched him work in to a bean field for about 10 minutes before she put a perfect...

    Ontario moose hunt

    I absolutely hate long posts, so apologize to myself in advance before writing this one. Some background - this hunt started about 3 years ago. My buddy Rob was at the local sports show back in 2019 and stopped by the 'Walsten Outposts' booth to see about a moose hunt. They are mainly a...

    Foam cannon

    Whose got one? I want one. Are the costly ones any better than the cheap ones on Amazon? Any opinions on type of soap?

    Ohio State game halftime activity

    The game was so lopsided that Shea, Moose, and I headed out to walk a fenceline at a friends farm just on the edge of town. Fun short little hunt for Shea’s first time chasing pheasant.

    Snort wheeze video

    Not sure who may remember it, but back in November 2019 I posted a snort wheeze video we got on cam. Well I sure as hell don't know what is going on with it all of a sudden, but I started getting notifications of comments on it recently, and it is taking off on number of views?? Just checked...

    Gut pile cam

    I moved a camera over the gut pile from Shea’s buck from last Sunday. There are actually 2 piles as I followed her up and filled a doe tag right after she shot the buck as some of them decided to stick around. Here are a few of the better pics when I pulled the card today. Also moved the cam...

    Shea finally got one!

    Well after trying several times during youth season and first muzzleloader, Shea finally connected today on the second day of the first shotgun season. This buck had a horse of a body. We have lots of pics of him before he broke his G3, so I plan to get it put back to normal for her. Shot was...

    Operation ‘straighten the arborvitaes’

    After the derecho storm our arborvitaes in the back now have a permanent lean. So yesterday around noon I set the sprinkler out there to soften/saturate the ground. Then a couple hours later I braced 2 T-posts against the sidewalk with a piece of 2x4, connected a come-along and some tow straps...

    Derecho storm

    Have you guys heard much about this in Ohio? We had a Derecho go though about 2/3 of Iowa early Monday afternoon. Basically a 40 mile wide tornado that went hundreds of miles. Sustained winds of 80 to 115 mph for almost 40 minutes. I am in Linn County and we got hammered. Super scary shit...

    Boat trailer axle seal leaking question

    Question I have is how bad of an idea is it to use a boat trailer where it looks like the rear seals are leaking grease? It does have bearing buddies so I can keep topping it off if that may help... This is an old boat that belongs to a buddy who hasn’t used it in about 4 years. I got it...

    2020 trail cam pics

    We have what looks like could be a monster brewing. Pretty sure it is the one I filmed breeding the doe last fall. Same salt lick he visited last summer, frame looks the same, and he had a bunch of junk on his bases. He will be fun to watch grow. He did have fairly short tines last year, so...

    Shea's trapping adventures

    Shea has been BEGGING to go set some traps for the past few weeks. Well, her birthday is Sunday, so why not. We'll set for coons mainly. Last weekend I drove the quad around one of our corn food plots and there are lots of nice coon trails coming into it from the timber. We'll set them with...
