GREAT time to scout!

This is one of my favorite times to get out into the woods to scout or work on stands. The bucks are growing headgear, the fawns are running around, and the ticks are almost gone.

I’ve set up my new Air Raid and I like how it launches my Pro Hunters. It’s another fast, accurate bow from Bowtech… should we be surprised!?!

Nice Bucks

These are a few bucks I photographed tonight on a family drive. They still have a full month of growing to do… but they’re looking great already!

Getting Ready for Ezra

I just finished building an indoor dog kennel for our soon-to-be new family member. We’re going to do an indoor/outdoor dog run and kennel. (The kennel has a name - The Drick House - after my father-in-law. I copied his excellent design.)

As you can see below, I had some fantastic help!

Our family just bought a puppy today – Ezra, a seven-week-old German Wirehair/Drahthaar. We pick him up in a week. Here are a couple pictures of him. We’re excited!!!

Why Zeke Hunts

This (well done) video communicates many of the reasons why I hunt. I think EVERYONE ought to go to this link and view this video… whether you hunt or not.

Why Hunt

Third (and final) Turkey of ‘09

zeke — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 00:24:00 +0000

I worked on the Easter sermon in the morning and then enjoyed a couple hours in a ground blind this afternoon. It was a bright, sunny day. At 4:00 three toms strutted up to my decoy. One of them made the ride home with me in the truck. He had a ten-inch beard and LONG spurs.

I hope that you and your family have a wonderful Easter Sunday tomorrow. Jesus is risen!, and there is no news better than that. May you rejoice and be glad in Jesus this weekend.

Successful Turkey Hunt

Scott, Jeff, and I went to northern Nebraska this week for our annual turkey trip. (Thom couldn’t join us and RB couldn’t hunt due to a shoulder injury.) We had an awesome time together and we came home with four birds. I shot a double-bearded (see photo) tom the first night while sitting with RB and my son (first turkey hunting experience!). I shot a second tom a couple nights later, right at dark, when two toms wandered in late.

Scott and Jeff each shot a turkey on Saturday morning – Jeff a tom, Scott a jake. We raced home Saturday afternoon to beat the blizzard that’s preparing to hammer Nebraska. It was a great week of hunting, but more importantly, spending time with family and good friends.

Here are a few photos I snapped – it was a good photography week!

Annual Turkey Trip!

We’re heading to Spencer, NE, this week for our annual turkey hunting trip with my in-laws and three close friends. My five-year-old son will likely join me on a few outings. He’s pumped! He woke up early and put on every little piece of camo clothing he owns.

Out of the Doghouse

zeke — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 16:04:59 +0000

Friends -

Pick up the latest issue of Deer & Deer Hunting. I’m thankful for Dan Schmidt (editor) for choosing to publish articles on faith and family and values. These issues are obviously a priority for him. (Let him hear your appreciation!)

“Out of the Doghouse” deals with how to keep marriage a priority during hunting season. A subject I still haven’t mastered…

Put the bow down!

The Year Between January and March

It’s been a LONG winter, but spring is almost here. Turkey season begins in two weeks and I can’t wait. My vitamin D must be low, I’ve got the gray skies blues.

Get those bows out and tuned up, friends. (I saw a man in the truck next to mine pull a diaphragm call out of his mouth this morning on my way to work.)
