It was an interesting opening weekend. I saw most of the deer, including the big bucks, the evening before while scouting from an observation stand. The wind never got right, so I had to hunt my secondary bow stands. That was frustrating, but I still had some good encounters. Watch this webisode and see some great Georgia buck footage.

I had a viewer ask about how I get ready for bow season and the equipment I used to give me an advantage in the woods. I cover my preseason preparation in this webisode.

The title says it all. This webisode is all about corn and how we use it to attract and feed deer.

Well, our dove hunt did not turn out the way we wanted it to. We were missing the key ingredient for success – DOVES. I personally only saw 3 doves on our field all weekend. Regardless of this, the kids and I still had a great time. Watch this video to see some clay target action and hear our sad story.

In this webisode, Chuck and I wrap up our summer food plot discussion with how effective our second spraying was and we summarize how we think our soybeans did for the year. We also look forward towards next year’s planting.

In this webisode, we show how we prepare our dove fields for opening day. We planted grain sorghum (milo) and brown top millet for our dove field. Bring on the doves!

I have received three requests from viewers on how our members choose stand locations, so I decided to put a webisode together to discuss our philosophy. I also share how our members use a virtual sign-in board that we developed to reserve and unreserve hunting zones. Watch this video and see this process we have developed over the years and how it works great for us.

In this webisode, I show some video of deer that evaded our electric fence and discuss the effectiveness of this electric fence design. Also, I will discuss the alternative fence design we are proposing to use next year to combat the deer eating our food plots. Watch this video to see our dilemma.

In this webisode, I show and discuss some of the best photos of the third batch of trail camera photos of the year.

This webisode consists of Chuck Campbell and I talking about our spraying results on our 18 acres of soybeans on our club lease. We will discuss what we did right and wrong and go over future improvements. Watch this interesting video below.
