    Camera advise

    This was shot with a canon rebel t5i with a 75-300 mm lenses. The distance was roughly 400 yards. I have looked for the larger lenses, but not wanting to spend $500-1000 I am going to try the vortex digiscope adapter with my vortex viper 20-60x85 spotting scope. I will let you know if that works...

    South Dakota Mentored Deer

    Today was the opener for youth deer in South Dakota. Temps were in the mid 30's when we made our way up to the black hills. Luck was on our side as a group of does was feeding at the forest service trailhead we normally park at. Less than an hour into the season and my 12 year old was already...

    SD mule deer

    Was able to find the muleys that I saw for a glance a couple weeks ago. They certainly are skittish of a ranger and a person walking already. Two are shooters for sure with my bow. I hope the next month I can pin down the movements.

    Turkey Success Photos

    Turkey #2 this year, 22#, 9 in beard, 1 in spurs. Shot at 12 yards out the back window of blind and only went a couple yards then piled up. Even with 25 mph winds and gusts to 40 mph today pays to scout and know where they roost. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

    Biggest Hunting Accomplishment? So far? Future?

    My biggest accomplishment so far was a 149 2/8 whitetail I took with my bow in 2012. Having one of my sons track it down was a great thrill watching him get closer and yell when he found it. In the future I hope to take a bull elk with a bow and help my kids all take their first big game animals.
