With the season here and gone in NW Missouri, we start to turn our focus to hunting shed antlers and start planning for the spring gobbler season. This past weekend, I made a trip to the farm to hang a trail camera to get a better idea on how many bucks are still packing antlers […]
With the holidays here, it means I get to spend some quality time with the family and friends. It also means some time away from work and much needed time in the woods! With both of my brothers in town we got to spend some time in the deer hut with the muzzleloader. The last […]
With the deer moving back to their feeding pattern, it is a great time to glass the fields in hopes of getting a pattern on a great buck. After this busy work week, I am going to find some time this weekend to do some glassing. A couple of our farms have some great vantage […]
With the 2012 Missouri rifle season in the books, we start wondering what bucks were able to survive the rifle season and possibly what new bucks have showed up at our farms throughout the rut. Shaun and I start utilizing our trail cameras in attempts to get a quick inventory of the bucks, see what […]
