Early February & The Squirrel Hill Buck Well, here we go again. As I’ve done in my past two blogs, I’m starting out this one by talking about the weather. This past Tuesday (Feb. 5th) we were the recipients of an 8-inch snowfall. Then yesterday (Feb 7th) we received another 8 to 9-inches of snow. …
Late January/Early February 2019 I’d like nothing better than to start out this week’s blog by talking about something other than the weather. But unfortunately, our current weather simply can’t be ignored. Truth is, everyone in our neck of the woods is talking about it. Apparently that’s what happens when you flirt with breaking the …
Late January 2019 I don’t know where the time has gone, but the month of January is coming to an end and our Texas bowhunt is now history. Jake and I flew out of Minneapolis early on the morning of January 18th and landed in south Texas around noon. After grabbing our gear from baggage …
Mid-January 2019 Hard to believe it’s been a week since my last blog, but here we are. Even more unbelievable is the fact that we’re now more than half-way through the month of January 2019. Due to an almost complete absence of a snow cover in the part of the Wisconsin where we live, it’s …
2018 Ends–2019 Begins Well, its been a couple weeks since my last blog. Now you’d think that would mean there’s a lot for me to talk about here. But that’s not really the case. While we have been out and about a bit since the last week of December, it hasn’t resulted in us gathering …
Whoa, how did it get to be the last week of December already?! But here we are, with Christmas in the rear view mirror and a New Year on the horizon. Anyone besides me having trouble digesting the fact that it’s going to be 2019 in only a few days? Time just keeps tick, …
Third Week of December In last week’s blog I talked about how our winter weather here in northern Wisconsin hasn’t been very ‘winter like’. Well, that trend has continued right on into the third week of December. In fact, where we were seeing daytime temps in the mid to upper 30’s last week, we’re now …
Mid-December Hard to believe we’re nearing the middle of December already, but here we are! So far here in northern Wisconsin we haven’t seen much in the way of typical winter weather. While temps have been somewhat winter-like, our snow cover is far from normal. We’ve spent a bit of time in the woods recently …
Well, here we are heading into the first week of December. Where I’m sitting right now, which is at my home in northern Wisconsin, winter weather has definitely settled in. To be honest though, we’ve been experiencing winter like weather for a few weeks now. Cold temps, off and on snow cover and most of …
Wisconsin…What rut? I believe it’s safe to assume that most of us who chase trophy whitetails would sacrifice any other part of the deer season just to hunt during the rut. Because, if there’s a time during the season when mature bucks are prone to make mistakes, the rut is that time. It’s also the …
