Weekly Harvest

It’s Friday…I think we can all be thankful for that!

This weekend I’ll be getting an official dose of outdoor medicine. As you’re reading this I’ll be headed back to our farm to scout some of the public ground that is near our property. From the aerials I’ve studied and the drive-by I’ve done, the area looks promising. My plan is to get a closer look on Saturday w/a boots on the ground scout. I’ll post some footage on Facbook live ,and look for a Youtube video in the near future documenting the scout.

The second plan is to do a little shed hunting in a few key location on the farm and do a card pull to see if any bucks made it through gun season. I’m pumped to be getting back in the timber! Until next time, enjoy this week’s deer news!

Happy Friday Everyone!

Another week closer to archery season—roughly 2.5 months until the state wide Pennsylvania archery opener. I’ve managed to keep myself busy with lots of range time but the buck fever is really starting to set in. Every night before bed I go over all the potential stand locations for this year in my head…it’s been great for my sleeping pattern.  It’s been a few weeks since I’ve checked game cameras. I’d like to say it’s because I’m practicing restraint and hitting the timber less…but that’s false. Truth is my family and I have been full swing into our summer travel plans. So I’m following good camera checking habits by default!

More family fun this weekend, but before I go I’ll leave you with this week’s best deer news from around the world whitetail web—enjoy!

Happy Friday all!

Hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day weekend. I got to spend a lot of time on the farm and finished up planting the remaining food plots. I did get to get after a few birds and took my 7 year-old-daughter on her first hunt…she even used the call and had a bird respond! She was pretty excited even though we had no shot opportunities. My buddy, on the other hand, took a nice PA gobbler. So on the whole we ended the season on a good note.

Lots of family activity this weekend. But before the fun begins I’ll leave you with the week’s best deer related stories from around the world whitetail web—enjoy!
