The Right Equipment Equals Success!

After 33 years of bowhunting I’ve learned a few things in the whitetail woods. Scout more than you hunt, play the wind, the first time in is the best time and quality products can make a difference between success and failure! There are just some pieces of equipment that you should not scrimp on! Quiet bows and treestands are a must without a doubt. Spend every penny you have to buy the best arrows possible. Shoot a broadhead that will NEVER fail. Last but not least, buy the best binoculars you can afford!

Beating a mature bucks nose is what its all about! Show me a big whitetail that has survived to be 4, 5 or even 6 years old and I will show you an animal that has learned to play the wind to his advantage, he has to or he dies, plain and simple. By the time a monster buck has reached maturity he has become a survival expert and he trusts his nose above all other senses. I have based my entire strategy on hunting giant bucks around the wind because I know how important it is. If one thing changed my success ten fold, it was when I quit hunting the winds that were good for me and started hunting winds that were good for him!

Illinois has been one of my favorite hunting destinations for the last 6 or 7 years, and I normally draw a bow and a gun tag, (non residents can shoot one buck with a bow and one with a gun) and with the gun opener this Friday I couldn’t wait to load the truck and head west. I managed to take my best Illinois buck to date in October this year with a bow, and hope my luck continues into the gun season. I hunt with a very close friend in Illinois that farms a few thousand acres of the fertile farm ground that borders the Illinois River in Schuyler county, just west of Springfield. Since it’s not too far out of the way, I usually make an annual stop in Peoria to see my friends at Lone Wolf Treestands when I’m in the area. Now, normally I’m not the type of guy that will try and push a product on someone, let alone talk about it on tv or write about it. But, after my visit with Jared Schlipf the owner of Lone Wolf, he showed me a couple new products that are definitely worth mentioning!
