• 2012 Lukinto Lake Lodge - Bull Moose, Run for your Life!

  Contributed by jen on 12/28/12 405 reads
  

  I was embarking on my third moose hunt with high expectations. Why not I thought, after all I have hunted moose twice before and shot two bulls. You can't knock a 100% success rate. To understand and appreciate this hunt I must share some history with you so you can appreciate my emotional roller coaster highs and lows. This moose hunt I was returning to Lukinto Lake Lodge. I have a history with Lukinto Lake Lodge and I will get into that a little later.

• Wyoming Bull Elk Again!

  Contributed by jen on Dec 28,2012 - 10:06 am 389 reads
  

  Why am I smiling so much you ask? No other reason than the planets simply aligned together for me in 2012. I am not referring to the Mayan calendar ending and the prediction of the world ending on December 21, 2012. Obviously you are reading this so you know that didn't happen. My long shot to draw a Wyoming archery only elk tag had just as much chance of happened as the world ending on December 21. I did not have the minimum 3 preference points so I knew I would not draw in the standard drawing. To keep people interested that don't have enough preference points they have a second drawing. In this unit that meant 3 tags. Normally I don't even enter the drawing unless I have the 3 preference points. I just buy the preference point. I don't know why I did this year.

  The simple shutter of a trail camera documenting the perplexing life of a deer is truly extraordinary. Gaining any edge of insight against the opposition will amplify your success, but you must realize that there's a very fine line between pinpointing a buck and him pinpointing you.

  Written by Brandon Wikman
  
  Trail-camera pictures clutter my computer's desktop and congest my electronic photo library. Thousands of whitetail pictures filed into hundreds of archived folders, which are then saved to several sub-folders. I've managed to sort through the good-bad-and-ugly to find some of my very favorite images of 2011.

• Bears - All Eleven Of Them

  Contributed by jen on May 21,2012 - 09:30 pm 743 reads
  

  Written by Jon Nystrom
  
  Back in the day when I first contacted Northern Wisconsin bear hunting guide Bill Schutte about a bear hunt I didn't know what I was getting into. I wasn't a very good hunter and was more interested in a good party or meeting girls. Just the same when the opportunity came up to bear hunt I couldn't turn it down.

• The Curse Has Ended

  Contributed by jen on Feb 24,2012 - 06:30 am 1163 reads
  

  Written by Jon Nystrom
  
  I have been pursuing whitetail since I was 16 years old. That was the age my mother would allow me to accompany Dad to hunting camp. I remember my first night in camp. I was returning from a sporting event and was being dropped off at the Dairy Queen in Solon Springs, Wisconsin. It was late at night but when I arrived my Dad came out of his slumbering sleep in the truck. Of course I was wound up tighter than a drum. It was my first deer hunt with Dad, my Uncles and Cousins. I ate spaghetti late that night, to much in fact that I got sick. It was just my adrenaline taking control of me. I was the new kid in camp and I made a very funny first impression heaving in the snow.

  Written by Ed Haag
  
  New Buckshot Pea blend offers an agronomic-based response to excessive pre-season deer grazing while extending the longevity of the food plot. The two questions most asked by those who grew white flower peas in their food plots last year was as follows: How do I keep the deer from devouring all my plants before opening day? And where can I get my hands on more of that crazy new deer candy?

  Written by Jon Nystrom
  
  Using an outside service to process your wild game can be hard on your wallet. You have considered processing wild game on your own, but had your concerns. Lack of equipment and personal expense seem like obvious obstacles to a DIY approach. However, eating the same old steak day after day can get old. In my search for meat variety I took a serious look at how to process my own game, how much it costs and amount of effort it takes.
