    Ben's 2023 Semi-Live Hunt Log

    After a nap and dinner, I drove back out there just before sunset in hopes of roosting a bird. I went back to that spot near the picked cornfield and I was able to confirm that there was at least one or two gobblers in that ravine. This morning the plan was to go set up in the grassy area...

    Ben's 2023 Semi-Live Hunt Log

    I am reporting this from the couch on Sunday night, totally exhausted, and without a turkey... I kind of expected this as I was hunting a new piece of public land so I knew I would probably make some mistakes and I would end up doing a lot of walking since it is a large area and I wanted to see...

    Ben's 2023 Semi-Live Hunt Log

    Heading out tonight to my parents so I can be within 45 minutes of some public land I have a tag for. I have hunted this area a little in the past and I know there are turkeys in the area, but I definitely don't have it all figured out yet. I'm hoping tomorrow will be an opportunity to hear...

    2023 spring turkey!

    I shot my first turkey since 2018 this morning. I have a full write up of the hunt on my semi-live hunt log. This is an as he lay picture. 19 pound, 9 inch beard and 3/4" spurs. It was a great hunt and I am so happy to have all of the pieces come together to bring home a bird. Love turkey hunting!

    Ben's 2023 Semi-Live Hunt Log

    Those birds were about 100 yards away and I thought I might be able to sneak closer to maybe 50-60 yards, but I told myself to stay put and just watch. I am sure they could see my decoy and they could hear my calls, but they were happy to stay where they were. And then the deer were back and...

    Ben's 2023 Semi-Live Hunt Log

    I had two days set aside for this turkey tag, Thursday and Friday. But it looks like I'll have to do something else with Friday because I tagged out today. I have to say that I am so happy to have gotten a turkey. I have been a day late and a dollar short on so many turkey opportunities since...

    Ben's 2023 Semi-Live Hunt Log

    My first turkey season opened on Monday and I will finally be able to get out and hunt on Thursday and Friday. I'll be staying with my parents and hunting in the woods where I have gotten both of my bucks. It will be lows of 50s and highs of the upper 70s which is pretty strange for this time...

    Who doesn’t wear camo to hunt

    I love camo. I have a standing item on my Christmas list that goes out to family: "anything camo". I try not to buy much of it unless it is very specifically meeting a need for hunting, although I do buy some random non-hunting items. Two items I have forbidden myself from buying is a camo...

    2023 spring turkey!

    I'm getting excited. I'll be out there trying to get a turkey a week from Thursday. I have a good feeling about my options to hunt turkeys this year.

    Ben's 2023 Semi-Live Hunt Log

    No love from the coyotes yesterday. The group that had been observed on my buddy's fence line it turns out were visiting a cow carcass in his neighbor's pasture. And of course the neighbor had removed the carcass 2 days before we tried to ambush the coyotes. I had a great morning of catching up...

    Ben's 2023 Semi-Live Hunt Log

    It's been a few weeks of no hunting for me, but that is not because I wasn't trying. Had a couple weekends pegged as potential coyote hunts, but weather or responsibilities kept popping up to keep me out of the outdoors. But tomorrow I am heading out top my buddies spot in the countryside and...

    Woodworking Hunt Talkers?

    I did use a jig. I watched a bunch of You Tube videos and then went with the most simple jig but it ended up being a little less exact than I wanted. Next time I do a box joint I will make a better jig.

    Woodworking Hunt Talkers?

    I finally finished up a belated Christmas present for my brother in law. Originally he just wanted a rack where he could organize his paints that he uses for painting miniatures for various games. I decided to complexify the project a little and create a box with collapsible trays. It is in no...

    Ancestry

    Growing up, I knew that I was 25% English and 25% Swedish on my dad's side and 25% German and 25% Bohemian (Czech) on my mom's side. Since then I have done some genealogy work and I know that on the English branch, I have ancestors from France and from Scotland. One generation of the Scottish...

    Home Garage shops

    I recently rebuilt my shed. It was too close to the lot line to allow me to put electric to it and the bottom plate was rotten due to soil being pushed against the side by a former owner. I could only build it 12x16 since that was the maximum allowed in my town. I was very happy to move all my...

    Mountain goat hide coat

    Who did that for you. I have some hides that I would like to make a jacket out of, but I can't find anyone to do it and I don't have the skills to do it myself.

    spring turkey plans?

    I'm trying a couple new things. First, I got a tag for a different public area. I have hunted it a little and scouted it a little. There's definitely turkeys there. Hope I can find one. Second, I am trying a short lease for 4th and 5th season in a completely new area for me. I need to get up...
