  • Crossbow 8 Pt. Using Decoys

    New Property, New Memories Wrapping a Tag Around a Nice Iowa Buck At a Friends Place Its Rut Time! If you haven’t hunted the Rut, you’re missing out on wild behavior and cool stories! There are no rules in Rut. Decoys do work! I was super skeptical about the 2D decoys but I wanted to…

  • Success, Even With Multifloral.

    November 12, 2025 We tracked for Chris last year. We felt like we may have left that deer in the woods but couldn’t be sure. It was a long track and we put in the effort for quite a while. One of my biggest concern is leaving deer behind un recovered. The area Chris hunts…

I was letting calls go to voicemail, that I suspected could be track requests. I do this only because I can be easily convinced to take a track :). Well,…
