Hunting the early season
This week we are kicking off the new season with an early season doe hunt on the home farm here in Michigan! As always the boys seemed to of crashed the party spoiling our plans as legal shooting hours open. Now we'd have to sit back and enjoy the show as we wait for the does to show.

Deer Chores
zhlédnutí 230Před 2 měsíci
This week I jumped in my truck and headed down to the home farm to knock out some deer chores. My time was limited, as I only had 2 hours to work with but I wanted to share with you all what I was doing on the farm while down there. I was even able to pull a few trail camera chips and share a few of the pictures with you
Deer Hunting in Michigan's Upper Peninsula DEER CAMP 2022

This week we head over the bridge and into the 906 as we get ready for Michigan's opening day of rifle season! Everybody's favorite deer camp is back in action and the guys are filling tags as we end up shooting a total of 7 deer during our 19th consecutive season together! Things start out on a high note as we head back to the field for the 16th season but it doesnt take long before the wolves...

IT'S DOE TIME on the farm this week, as Kyle decides to take a bunch of does to help with the overall health of the herd. With the Michigan DNR coming out with an open letter (09/21/23) to all hunters to consider taking more does this year, Kyle shows us that it not only is a fun time hunting them but it also helps with the overall health of the herd! So come join us and take a guess at how man...

BIG 11pt shot

After hunting the farm several times and having some close calls, Kyle finally is able to take down a buck that he was after at last legal light. Although the light was too dark to catch the shot on film we were able to catch all the excitement and the highs and lows of the hunt. This 11pt buck fills one of Kyles two Michigan tags!

BIG Michigan BUCK shows up

This week on Droptine Ridge I make my way back to the home farm for some hunting after trying my luck on the public land in Northern Michigan. Things start out pretty exciting as it doesn't take me long to connect on a nice Coyote. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get that part on film but I was able to have a BIG Michigan buck make an appearance! Would I be able to put an bolt in him, or would ...

Deer hunting with a decoy and hunting public land in Michigan

Week three of the 2022 deer season I found myself starting out on the farm before heading off to some public land that I hadn't hunted before in Northern Michigan. After making my way into the public land with hopes of picking up a few trail cameras that I had placed out earlier in the year, I came across some deer sign that was just way too good to pass up, so I put on my saddle and headed out...
Deer hunting the COLD FRONT
zhlédnutí 397Před rokem
After an exciting opening day, the team is back in the woods as a major 21 degree cold front moves on in on us. The deer are on their feet, and a target buck comes well within range. But sometimes within range and doing the ethical thing makes things a little difficult. Watch as week two unfolds for the guys as you aren't going to want to miss it! SZN: 5| Eppy 2
Hunting big bucks

Were finally back in the tree as Michigan's opening day of bow season is finally here! This week were headed back to the farm with high hopes of tagging a nice Michigan Buck. After spending time putting in food plots, clearing trails, and hanging stands and cameras we are hoping all our hard work pays off, and with plenty of big bucks in the area we have reasons to be optimistic!

This week were back in the woods chasing Bobcats in Northern Michigan! After a successful hunt on day 1, Jerry is up to bat! Things werent easy on this hunt by any means as bad weather rolled in overnight making things very difficult. After coming up empty handed all morning long will Jerry be able to capitalize on the final day of the hunt? This is PART 2 of our two part BOBCAT series

I have always had Bobcat near the top of my bucket list believe it or not, and I finally got a Michigan Tag in my hand as did Matt, so we went north bound with our friend Corey to see if we could each put our tag around a Michigan Bobcat!
