Practice Tree Stand Safety! Always Be Safe And Always Come Home!

April 24, 2015 Unfortunately, statistics have shown that tree stand accidents are currently the number one cause of hunter-related injury every season. In fact, it’s estimated that one out of every three deer hunters who hunt from elevated stands are likely to experience a fall at some point in their lives that will result in […]

How I missed shed hunting this year…

…don’t miss that last step after you have your knee replaced!!! So, in late January I had knee replacement surgery to fix my blown-up, blown-out, worn out knee! It was long over due! Not sure why I waited so long but I did. Guess I just didn’t want to admit that I was starting to […]

Another great deer season comes to a close

It was a great year to be in the woods. Jeff and I didn’t get to hunt very much this year due to job demands and neither of us connected with a deer. We did, however, enjoy our time at deer camp and in the woods! Several of our hunters did harvest some nice deer. […]

Happy New Year to Everyone!

Looking back it’s been a great 2014. I trust that you all had a good year as well! No, I did not kill a monster buck this year! I don’t think that’s what defines a great year. Just the fact that I GOT to go hunting is a defining characteristic for me! My family is […]

Great News from one of the Brush Trail Hunter Groups

November 4th and I’m at work and not in the woods!!

Well, normally I’d be in my tree stand right this very minute! But I’m stuck at work all this week! I’ll head out later this weekend and see if I can get some quality tree time next week. I’m hearing that the pre-rut may be on so maybe it’ll be in full swing when I […]

Back from Alaska – Archery Season has just started!

Well, I made it back from Alaska and let me tell you…..it was awesome! Pictures or words just can’t describe the beauty and majesty of that country. I only saw a tiny sliver of it but it was simply the most spectacular place I’ve ever been to. Now my wife froze in the 50-60 degree […]

I’m like a kid in a candy store!!

Remember back in June, we were putting on scratch coat on our new fireplace? Well, it’s been 3 long months but we finally finished! Plus, the sugar on top…. that I have waited for all my life….was properly put in place! Wow is all that I can say! This big boy has been waiting on […]

Well, It ain’t pretty!

Well, I got my MRI results back today. I have a herniated disc in my neck! Wrecks are no fun at all! I’m sure glad that we weren’t on the highway going like 65MPH! I might not be writing this blog! I’ll have to postpone practicing with my bow for a while. I’ll probably get […]

Getting my attention?

I didn’t have a chance! The guy never saw me! He pulled out in front of me and although I jammed the brakes and swerved as best I could, I didn’t have a chance! I guess he hit me harder than I first thought. My car is pretty well smashed up but maybe not totaled! […]
