Iowa Report and then some....

We had a great trip to Iowa this past week. All said and done we took 3 bucks and 3 doee, all on film! Lots of encounters with a bunch of deer! The corn still standing did make it hard to see everything out there, but it was still great!

Chris Griffen from Realtree took a great 9 point buck and a doe. Cameron Hanes took a cool buck and a doe. Brad Schor tried hard, but no luck! Joe Rush from ACMedia took a nice 9 point! Ralph and I each took a doe too! We all donated our does the to Iowa HUSH program. HUSH stands for Help Us Stop Hunger! Great program!! A dollar from the deer tags goes towards the cost of the processing of deer for the hungry! You just drop your deer off at one of the participating locations and they will skin, de-bone and grind up the deer for the program!

Now we are driving home to Illinois! We need to get some filming done for the 2010 TV shows! Don't worry, we will fit the filming in between hunting by our house! :-)
We saw some great deer in Iowa, hopefully we will get back so that Ralph & I can fill our buck tags too!!

Good luck to everyone! God Bless!

Heading to Iowa- Tales of the Hunt Outfitters

We are on the road again and a lot has happened since our last post!

Let's see...

A couple of our Posse were up at Efford's Hunting in New Foundland. Lonnie took a black bear and a monster woodland caribou! Bucky was with him and he took a huge moose as well!! Congrats guys!!

Bill & Scott went to Eagle Lakes Outfitters in Pike Co IL and Bill shot a nice 9 point buck there!! Then the rains came & I think they had to swim home!! LOL!

While we were home, Ralph shot a big 8 point buck on Nov. 1st! He is beautiful and the footage is awesome!! I will work on getting some pictures posted up here!

We are on our way to Iowa now. We will be hunting with Tales of The Hunt Outfitters with Aaron Volkmeyer. We will be sharing camp with Cameron Haines and a couple of our friends from Realtree, Chris Griffin & Brad Schor! We are hoping for some great weather, but it looks like it might get warm! We will keep our fingers crossed! If our phone service works there at camp, we will keep you posted!

Be Safe & God Bless!!
