We have had over 1' of rain in some areas around me in the last 4 - 5 days. Flooding has been bad in the low areas. It is looking like it will be a couple of weeks before I can get back to the plots. It is even too wet to run the bush hog for a few days anyway. I was in the middle of busting...

My son just took a new job down around Jackson, Mo. We are avid deer hunter's in my family and he will be looking for a lease or good places to hunt close to where they will be living. We may entertain a trade for an Illinois hunt for a nice piece in the area. What is the trophy potential in...

With food plot planting season quickly approaching I thought this would be a good article to share with everyone. I take what this man says to heart as I know him personally and know where his heart actually stands. He is a whitetail fanatic and a very honest man that does not use gimmicks to...

Ok guys I am working on my theory here and am curious to what others take is on the subject. I am located in farm country Illinois. Sometimes you can drive two or three miles and not see a tree when you get a few miles north of me. I have been blessed to harvest some good deer that some would...

I am not much on posting business things on this site. I use this site as tool to better my management arsenal and not promote my hunting business. But wanted to offer up my Illinois deer hunts to the forum members. If any forum members are interested in an Illinois trophy buck hunt in east...

While out doing some work on our farms and looking for sheds. I was driving down the road to one of our farms and just south of one of our farms I see what appeared to be a buck that had shed walking through the field. I stopped to look him over and noticed he was walking in a circle. After 15...

A big thanks to Don and Deen for all of the help this weekend. We accomplished getting 3 ridge tops hinge cut totaling I am guessing around 10 acres of buck motels built. We also walked several other farms and got land management plans put together for those farms as well. Picked up a few...

I am looking to build a couple wheelchair accessible blinds for my properties. I would like to do a couple Wounded Warrior and/or Make A Wish hunts each year and would like to be able to put these great folks in a comfortable elevated blind on some of my late season food plots with heaters. If...

OK, bear with me this may take me a minute to tell this story. So this morning I get a text from a friend. It is a message between he and another guy that is looking to purchase used camera equipment. So any in the message it says that the guy looking for camera equipment leased 400 acres...

I am going to keep this as unpolitical as possible but after reading an article this morning it disturbed me even more than I already was. This especially affects people in Illinois. I see everyday where there are few more murders in Chicago and of course the media will attack our guns...

Did anyone see the attack on the young lady that posted pictures of her kills from a recent African Safari that she went on? The girl is an avid hunter for all game in her area and got the chance to go on a once in a lifetime African big game hunt. Had a few kills one of which was a giraffe...

I don't usually post pictures until a buck is dead but here goes. I have a feeling I know the age but was going to see an average from you guys. Shooter or not?

Just wanted to get something started here. I purchased this farm 3 years ago. I have some quality bucks on the farm, have added some food plots and have been playing around a bit with habitat management. The problem I have with this farm and the reason I have it up for sale (besides the fact...
