    Turkey hunt interrupted by tornado

    I have heard that Tom's really gobble before and after storms so I decided to hunt last night even though the forecast called for storms. I made the drive out to one of my hunting areas but decided it was looking too rough to hunt so never really got started. As I was leaving I stopped to...

    Small Town Sporting Goods Stores

    I have a friend that recently came into a large sum of money from a business he sold. He is interested in starting a gun/archery shop in our small town of 800 people. The surrounding community has maybe 4000 total people with our only competition being a Walmart 20 miles away. He is offering...

    Great Tasting Snow Geese?

    I have struggled through the years to come up with a way to make waterfowl taste good - especially snow geese. I have made sausage, jerky, sticks, and other items that turned out "ok", or "not bad" but never "wow that's really good!". That changed yesterday when I tried my first batch of goose...

    Encouraging Youth

    My 16 year old son came home from school the other day with a new duck call. Apparently his Ag teacher had a champion duck caller come in and give calling demonstrations. They also gave each student a new call! I though this was really cool so I sent the teacher a thank you email- wish more...

    First Hunt

    I have a new co-worker who has never hunted a day in his life. He showed a lot of interest in my discussions over the last two months and long story short, he decided to give spring snow goose a try. I took him out today for his first experience. His first shot dropped a nice blue... he was...

    Archery Wood Duck - Finally got the mount back

    While bow hunting deer last year I had a unique opportunity to shoot a wood duck. My tree stand sits about 30 yards from a small creek. Shortly after getting in the stand for an afternoon sit, a small flock of wood ducks landed right in my shooting lane on the creek crossing. I always have a...

    Son's first mount

    My 16 year old son just got his mount back from last year's deer. He was very excited to get it hung up in his room. I like the habitat addition- am considering adding some to a couple of my other mounts.

    Archery buck

    I had a great week hunting with friends in Nebraska. I was focused on Mule deer primarily but the weather drove us into the river bottoms for a great morning of whitetail action. Thanks again Dave- Looking forward to packing yours out next year!

    Score estimates please

    I have a friend out elk hunting right now. He is on a private land hunt where he is hoping to take something 330 or better. He just passed this bull and is wondering what it scored- my guess is 320. What do you guys think?

    Daydreaming

    Awesome Hot Sauce

    I love hot food and am always searching for good hot sauce and salsa. My 6 year old got me a new kind to try for my 40th birthday this last weekend. It is so good I thought I would share with you guys. It is a Habanero based sauce with great flavor and enough heat draw a bead of sweat but...

    Shopping for a new CC pistol.

    I am shopping for a new conceal carry pistol. I'm down to the M&P Shield 9MM and the Glock 43 9MM. I love the feel of both guns and price is very similar. I haven't shot either as none of my local shops have a range. Do any of you have any opinions on either one of these? Is there another...

    .410 for Turkey?

    My youngest is determined to hunt turkeys this spring. I have finally given in and decided to let him try to take one with a .410. I don't think he can handle any more recoil than that. Has anyone on here done it before? What loads did you use? I am planning to restrict him to 20 yards and...
