Erik and friends returned to Moore Haven, Florida to bring home more bacon.

The 2014 Indiana Deer Hunt was beyond my expectations! It was marked with many first experiences since I've hunted Indiana. Hunting is much more than the kill, it's the smells, sights and memories made with your friends and family, both good and bad. In the end, 2014 was a great year and it all [...]

This weekend's hunt almost didn't happen due to the government shutdown. There was no scouting done prior to this trip and Chris and I had to make some quick decisions on where we would set up. Fortunately, Chris set up camp on Friday and I rolled in on Saturday morning with our ORV permit. Saturday [...]
