A Slow Motion Train Wreck, the Midwest Edition

[slow motion]

Had a couple hours to kill so i shot some. Still got a little work to do dialing in the Wraith at 50. Had tighter groups but was tired walking up and down the hill by the time I thought to take a pic and they were opening up. 35 or less is looking good though no pic. 50 is too far but sometimes shooting that far out helps me to concentrate at closer distances.

Sharpen your blades and skills folks. I know some of you are already complaining about the noise the cicadas are making but if you listen really close even over their racket you'll hear it. It's coming. Be ready.

Long, quiet morning in the turkey woods.

Just a couple days left of Illinois’s season and my 1st hunt. Skeeters are brutal and the birds are silent on this warm and muggy day.

And yeah on a positive note it’s a long, quiet morning in the turkey woods.

Well it hasn’t been a gobble filled morning but at least I had my sippy cup with me.

No turkeys to be found. I only had one give me the chance. He was across a deep creek gobbling hard. I couldnt cross on foot either direction Ran to truck and went a mile down the road and around and back to where he was.

Course he shut up and I never saw or even heard him again.

He probably crossed to the other side and was mumbling something about a tease.

Congrats Dale
My buddy dribbled mine to the bank also but it cleared …. Made a plan on tweaking how we lay out food plots and hopefully get some rain this year instead of drought they dealt with last year and bucks will be fat and happy !!!

Man I plan on driving down to eyeball the beast you’re gonna kill this year !!!! Disclaimer… unless I’m hunting or eating pound cake so it’s a tight window for you but I believe in you

Fingers crossed he made it through.

I just spoke with my Kentucky farms owner and secured an additional 80 acres. It’s a river bottom corn field with a big wooded creek running thru it . It has an old road bed running along the creek that the deer use as a highway . I’ve got the get up there soon and put some stands and cams out !

It is rare that those wily old trophy bucks make it year over year and even more rare to see the same one in daylight the next year.

We wish you the best but that is a big ask.
