That is all I needed.  It was just after noon and the gobbler was 30 yards away from me.  He hid behind his large clump of rugosa rose, I hid behind my clump of rugosa rose, and a hen decoy twirled in the wind in the opening between us.  My heart was beating out of…

Well I have to say that month flew by!  It seems like we were just talking about the February pics when I realized today was the last day of the month so I ran out to retrieve the memory cards.  Some of the photos were the same raccoons, opossum, Fox Squirrels, coyotes, and young deer…

For some reason, I am obsessed with game cameras.  Every time I retrieve a card and upload the photos, I am as giddy as a kid at Christmas.  I only monitor a few cameras, and the quality is average at best.  In an effort to slow the spread of Chronic Waste Disease in Missouri among…

My 2017-18 deer hunt has not been successful, at least not if you measure success by the amount of meat in the freezer.  I brought the boys out during the youth hunt, hunted the second weekend of gun season, then bow hunted a few times along the way with nothing to show for it.  So…
