S2.W13 “Unbelievable”
Being limited in the number of days he can hunt this turkey season, it was time for Tayler Riggen to make something happen. Check out this fast paced hunt as he attempts to take a southern Iowa gobbler in an open field, bow in one hand, and decoy in the other!
The Truth About Ticks
I’ll be honest, I hadn’t planned to still be chasing turkeys around on May 8. But with some strange weather, a lot of time spent at work, and some bad luck (or bad hunting), I’m still holding tags. I’ve spent most of my limited time in the turkey woods needing to push the envelope. So [...]
Backcountry Hunting
It’s been a busy Spring for me so far. Between getting trees planted, work, and trying to help people buy or sell their “dream farm”, it’s been tough for me to find time to get a turkey on the ground. For those of you that are in the same boat, don’t worry, there’s plenty of [...]
The Truth About Morels
I’m sitting here in southern Iowa currently watching it rain, as it has done for the last few days. It seems like rain totals have varied pretty drastically around the area, as I’ve been getting quite a few different reports. All I know is what my gauge says, and over the last few days we [...]
4/10/13 Update

Creating “No Pressure” Hunting Situations
In my last article, I gave the opinion that the hunting world has become obsessed with the final score of a rack. I include myself with that statement. I am hopelessly addicted to large racked whitetails. For most, that obsession comes with a certain level of pressure. Pressure from yourself, pressure from the rest of [...]
“The Old Man”, Final Chapter
“The Old Man” first blipped on my radar in 2010. I pulled a card from one of my Moultrie Trail Cams, and had several pictures of a deer that I believed to be 5 or 6 years old based on his body size, with a less than desirable rack. I didn’t even give him a name at [...]
The Story of Shredder
As told by a friend, and avid outdoorsman, Jason Lowry. The story of Shredder began in the fall of 2011. I had just closed on a small piece of property in mid October and had very little time to scout. Not wanting to put any pressure on the property, I decided to hang a few [...]
