This year I met with Carter’s Hunting Lodge at the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show. During that time I made arrangements with Randy Hall and Nathan Carter to hunt with them during the rut.  Carter’s Hunting Lodge offers TROPHY whitetail archery hunts in Pike County, Illinois. [...]

First time experience hunting monster whitetail in Pike County Illinois through the eyes of a cameraman.

Chasing Monster bucks in Pike County Illinois during the rut.

With more and more hunting pressure, geese are being educated faster and are less likely to work your spread. As a waterfowler one is always attempting to put more birds in the shot path of our decoy spreads and defining the X.

I have found that Larry Juhl’s “the Goose Tree” does just that. The goose tree defines the X and enables the waterfowl hunter to use less decoys. The simulated landing of geese allows incoming birds to honor the landing birds ahead and lock on the X. The birds are focused on the X and birds ahead and not on your location in the blind. Thus giving the hunter a better opportunity to be successful.

I won’t be redundant in the thanks to everyone involved with the September 19, 2009 3-D Benefit shoot. But as we know if it weren’t for those people that see the good in all people and the importance of God in our daily lives the world we live would be in worse condition.

Last year I spoke to a gentlemen over the phone who had a product he was interested in me trying out while goose hunting. This would be Mr. Larry Juhl from Janesville, Wisconsin. Needless to say we had quite a lengthy conversation about geese.

This year we took our yearly summer vacation to beautiful Benezette, PA. Home of the free roaming wild elk in Pennsylvania.

Follow along as we have a great day banding geese!

Protecting your bow and its components while hunting, especially in the brushy cover is tough, but I found the Primos Bow Sling is made for this undertaking.
