Time Well Spent

This one hit me hard, so I thought I would share it. A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door. SON: 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?' DAD: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the man. SON: 'Daddy, how much do you make an hour?' DAD: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the man said angrily. SON: 'I just

Quiet Turkeys

There is nothing more exciting than a turkey gobbling from the roost. Even better if he is gobbling back to your calling. But what do you do when you have quiet turkeys? They gobble from the roost and shut right up when they hit the ground, or they just are not vocal at all? This is where scouting comes into play. Even the pro of pro turkey hunters may admit, when turkeys are vocal, there is

Places TO Hunt

As we all know, finding a quality place to hunt is getting harder and harder. Just like everyone else, I too, have to go out knocking on doors to secure hunting spots. Getting permission to deer hunt seems to be the hardest. On the other hand, farmers just plain don't seem to like turkeys.  This subject came up the other day in a conversation I had with Walt Rayfield. Walt is an avid hunter and

Poor Shotgun Pattern

Here is a tip from your old uncle Art. Got my daughter a new Mossberg 500 Bantam. She is smaller in stature than her brother and I, so getting her a turkey gun that fit her better seemed like a good idea. Turkey season is fast coming on us. Finding a load that would pattern good in her new 12ga. was at the top of the list of things to do. Loaded up her two brothers, a couple guns and more ammo

Wisconsin Spring Trout Run

Posted by huntingc on under Uncategorized | Comments are off for this article

What a dilemma. Spring time has come in Wisconsin and that means two things. It is time to go turkey hunting and the spring trout run is about to begin. Now I already know what dates I am going turkey hunting but the trout just seem to start coming in when they want. OK, I know it has more to do with water temps then the trout just deciding it's time. In most cases it's just a couple weeks

Guns, laws and elections

It should not be a surprise that justices in the Supreme court have been asked to decide if Washington D.C.'s city sweeping hand gun ban violates gun owner's rights and all right here at election time. Wonder how that came about. Then just recently Obama and Clinton decide spare over the word "bitter" and let their stance on the second amendment be herd. It would just so happen that while at a

Turkeys Dogs and Rifles

Recently a gentleman from Wisconsin sent me an email. I tried to reply back to him but every attempt came back to me as "no such address". However, after reading his email I found myself thinking very carefully before I tried to reply.  His email to me read as follows: "How many states allow rifle hunting for turkeys? I'm a disabled veteran and would like to hunt fall turkeys with a small caliber

Time Sure Flies

Man time sure flies by. According to the dates on this blog, it has been some time since I put anything in here. I guess developing a couple web sites and trying to get a TV show off the ground takes up some time. Well I am back and still hunting like a mad man. April 12th -13th will find our cameras following 40+ kids for the Wisconsin Youth Turkey Hunt. Birds are already out strutting their
