    Cam’s 2022 Buck

    Sunday evening Cam closed the door on his 2022 deer season. It was our 14th sit together and one we won’t forget. We have been alternating between a ladder stand and natural ground blinds depending on the wind. We had planned on hunting the ladder stand last evening but changed our minds late in...

    Cam’s opening morning hunt

    Cam and I sat up in an area where I have been hearing birds all week long and wouldn’t you know it; not a peep. After deciding there were no birds around us, we made a little move to the north. We got things set up on a bench overlooking a river bottom and let out a couple yelps to have one...

    A recap of our 2020/21 ice season

    Cam and I ended our ice season with a great trip to Saginaw Bay. We caught a limit of perch each day with a lot of fish over 10” and the biggest just shy of 13”. We were fishing in 5’ of clear water so we could watch the fish as they swam through the holes. In addition to the 100’s of perch we...

    Cam’s 2020 buck

    Cam and I have been been mixing it up between hunting out of double ladder stands and on the ground. I always let him decide which farm to hunt and then we make a plan of attack. With the wind blowing like it was, Cam decided he wanted to hunt on the ground Tuesday night. He decided on an area...

    Eye Spy walleye report

    After a week away from the action, we found the walleye right where we left them! We started casting yesterday and pulled 11 the first drift but as the wind died, so did the casting bite.

    Gulf Stream Tuna

    Cam was able to make his first trip to the Gulf Stream yesterday and the tuna were hungry! After a 2 hr boat ride the kite went into the air and we hooked a double within the first 10 minutes. We put 2 more in the boat shortly after and then the kings of the ocean showed up. Sharks ate our next...

    Walleye bite is hot!

Most of the fish came on bandits 45-90’ back. We did catch a few on harnesses. Back at next weekend. It looks like we are...

    Barnett Recruit Recurve Arrows?
