I’ve heard it said many times that you can’t fill a tag sitting at home. I would argue that it was sitting at home on November 1st that put me in a perfect position to do just that. Of course, the hunt that took place is far from your classic whitetail
It was now almost five years since I had successfully filled a buck tag here in Ohio. The last buck tag I’ve filled was on November 3rd of 2013 to be exact. I had spent countless hours in the tree and in a blind over the course of those five
With work and a new addition to my family, finding time in the woods has been difficult. Once I saw the impending storm front coming through on the Halloween weekend Saturday evening, I knew it would be an ideal opportunity to burn one of my few “all-day-sit” cards. The wind
The high temperatures so far this season has made it less than enjoyable to be in a tree, and makes it difficult to get setup without breaking into a sweat. As a result, several of my early season hunts came to a sudden close due to deer catching my wind.
I think we all have our own idea of a perfect shot, perfect angle, perfect lighting and just an overall perfect scenario. These situations are few and far between but they do happen, and usually in short order with things happening quickly. In 2014 I was able to get myself

As the sun came up on the morning of October 27th, 2013 a dream became a reality and I found myself sitting 25’ up in a tree in the hills of Buffalo County, Wisconsin. Every bowhunter knows of the legendary tells and bucks that Buffalo County has produced over the
Walking out to a star filled sky and heavily frosted ground to start the four wheeler and get it warmed up, when my buddy came around the corner and stated that there was a nice buck running a doe just behind the house at the barn. He had seen them
The weekend started off early for my Dad as he made the trip back up to Ohio Thursday evening. I wasn’t able to get away from work on Friday to hunt with him, but he headed back to the park property we had success at earlier in the month and
This weekend lived up to all expectations. My Dad made the 3 1/2 hour trip from southern Indiana to southwestern Ohio to spend some time with me in the woods. In years past, we have had good luck hunting this small property, and this year the luck would continue. Every
