As I mentioned before...I own 160 acres in South Dakota and live out of state (Maryland). Insurance has always been a concern of mine and after many calls with USAA over the course of the past few years, I took it upon myself to get some additional insurance for my property in South Dakota...

The other day, I was chatting with a friend about the upcoming deer season. One of the things he said he was looking forward to most was, sipping on some homemade soup during those all day sits. This blew my mind as I tend to be a very unhealthy snackers. So over the past few days I...

Had these three big bulls swing by a few of my cameras last night. One of them brushed up against one of those cameras and it is now pointed down. Ugh! But definitely worth it. Now…I just need to attack some cows to keep them on the property for the rut. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So this is my first attempt at a food plot. Unfortunately, time got the best of me and I wasn't able do a thorough killing off of the native grasses (beyond weed whacking) and ended up doing a broadcast of soybeans with wheat grass. Because my food plot is also some 1700 miles away (Black...

As I've written about it before, I am slowly working on my dream of having a retirement cabin in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Over the past few years, I have build a small 20X24 Garage with an unfinished upstairs living area, ran electricity, and even brought in a 500lb propane tank and...

OK...so no cool animal pics facing the blizzard...but, I did get a few really cool shots of the blizzard-like conditions...

Who says the rut is over? Or, maybe he is just practicing for next year.

One of the guys I hunt with had a bunch of these spikes show up on camera at his place. Apparently, they broke out from a neighbors place. I told him, I’d of shot it and called it in as a spike. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My first cell camera was a Bushnell Impulse. After a few days, I bought another and quickly installed it. However, as quickly as I went to two Impulses was as quick as I started having issues. Luckily Bushnell refunded me for both cameras and with that I bought my first Cuddeback Set...

Looking at trying to get some food plots established this sping in the Southern Black Hills of South Dakota (mix of rolling praire and pines on 160 acres). On the property I have mule deer, elk, and turkey. The elk typically disappear just before rut and thus far I have never seen any cows...

Unfortunately, my two kids will be at their mom's house this year for Thanksgiving...but that didn't stop us from celebrating Thanksgiving a little earlier. I know it is traditional that you eat a Turkey at Thanksgiving - but as one who has a rare poultry allergy turkey is something we never...

For years, I've struggled identifying plants...then I discovered a great APP called SEEK. SEEK is fairly simply to use...literally you install it on your mobile device and using the camera feature point it at - well just about whatever you want...a plant, insect, mammal, bird, etc - and it will...

Fitting that I also named this camera "Mountain Lion"...LOL.

Last night the wife wanted to try something different so I pulled out a tenderloin from the freezer and thawed it out. Once I thawed, I cut it into 1 inch cubes or so...on a handful I soaked in teriyaki, another handful I smothered with salt and pepper, and the remaining few I smothered in a...
