Well, as shotgun season is upon us here in Iowa, this means only one thing for me; late season muzzle loader is just around the corner! Tyler and I have put forth a lot of effort to prepare for the late season in the last couple of years. Last year, we discussed for weeks where […]
“The Right Ten Acres” By Christian Curtis of BANDED I like most hunters, dream about owning my own farm. The dream usually goes something like this…1500 acres of bottom ground, creek running through the middle, with rich dirt perfect for growing corn and beans.

Bow season 2010 was the best and worst season I have had to date, I truly experienced the Highs and Lows of hunting. I went into the season in hopes of seeing a true giant. “Lucky” was his name he earned that name from the previous season, I had taken a shot and missed earning him the name […]
I just got back in from sitting in the stand tonight. Weather showed 7 mph NNE wind all evening. That is the perfect wind for this stands location being on the edge of a fresh cut corn field. This farm I have not hunted in a full year, My hopes where high as I set […]
