Trail camera photos can lead to one night stands.
by Scott Abbott
27. November 2009 05:20

Trail camera setups can be as complicated or simplistic as you choose to make them. I personally stay on the simplistic side of things as I am not trying to "pattern" bucks with their use, but rather get a better look at them after I locate a buck I am interested in from su...

by Scott Abbott
26. October 2009 05:52

This new product brought to market by Covert Scouting Cameras caught my eye right away when I first noticed it at the ATA show this past winter. "Covert" is the perfect name for such a camera, it's tiny only 5 1/2" high x 3 1/2" wide x 2 1/4&quo...

Great October evening, buck down in Ohio!
by Scott Abbott
18. October 2009 15:06

The evening of October 17th did not start off as I had planned. I took my Lone Wolf Assault and climbing sticks in with me in an attempt to really hug a good bedding area that I thought was holding a good buck that I hadn't touched yet.... It turned out that I couldn't find a tree ...

Opening Day Doe! Slick Trick Broadhead Success
by Scott Abbott
9. October 2009 04:13

I am not known as a "nanny whacker", in fact most years I do not hunt does at all. I have always reserved doe hunting for after I have filled my buck tag. This year was a little different as I planned on taking a doe early as long as it was while hunting a low impact setup...

Setting up a lockon treestand, climbing sticks and trimming shooting lanes.
by Scott Abbott
5. August 2009 08:25

Every now and then you come across a spot that just tells you to put a lock on up rather than pack in your stand for the hunt. This spot only tells me that once every 3 years though because of the crop rotation on the fields. It is a long walk from my parking area and right o...

Two months into my quest to locate the buck who was leaving some big tracks on my hunting grounds is finally a success. I had a camera up for two months with no results just some young bucks, does and fawns.
The night before last I finally decided enough was enough. Wit...

The "Tank" lives on?
by Scott Abbott
11. July 2009 07:43

I had glassed some decent bucks on this property a few weeks ago so I set a camera up to hopefully get a better look at them. I could tell one had a non matching unique rack from first glance. Reminiscent of the "Tank". ( link to a journal entry on him http://www.bowhunting.c...

For the better part of the last month I have assigned myself to "Operation Massive Tracks". In early June I was checking out the progress of the beans at one of my hunting spots and cut the trail of a great set of tracks. The area I found these tracks in is a small portion of...
