Funny you should say that exact phrase. A random smart-A comment I made a couple years ago about hiding in the shadows like a ninja birthed my buddy Andy getting this tattoo:- jeremy.b

Family Man's 2024 hunt log
Saturday 4/20 & Sunday 4/21 Brian Mike and I meet up with Josh and head into a different area (one where we got into birds a few times last year). We make it to the gate, jump out of the truck and the wind is RIPPING over the area. Like couldn't hear a bird 60 yds away ripping. We have a quick...- jeremy.b

Family Man's 2024 hunt log
Phewww... Survived 4 days straight of 3-4 AM wake up calls... I get that some of yall do that regularly, good deal, I'm personally not used to it! I had really hoped that my observation of birds not being responsive to calls would be disproven over the course of the weekend hunting with friends...- jeremy.b

Family Man's 2024 hunt log
This morning I hit the spot I scouted on Saturday. Right at first light I got a response from a few gobblers on private ground. I moved deeper into the public and turned up two different gobblers. One only sounded off a couple times and definitely had hens, the other was gobbling like crazy and...- jeremy.b

Family Man's 2024 hunt log
Took half a day off on Monday. Honestly not much to report. Only heard a few gobbles, made a move on two birds but neither showed any interest. One for sure had hens and I couldn't get them riled up enough to drag the tom in with them either. The highlight of the morning was getting back to my...- jeremy.b

Family Man's 2024 hunt log
Spent the 2nd half of yesterday scouting a new spot. Hike way in to check a basin where I found a ton of turkey nesting sign a couple years ago during elk season. Got a distant gobble, so it probably holds a few birds. Its NOT the easiest place to get to, so it'll take someone else dedicated...- jeremy.b

Family Man's 2024 hunt log
Last night I ran back into the spot and found at least 2 birds roosted in the same (ish) spot where they were on Wednesday. I picked out a (hopefully) better setup spot in the dark. We headed out (earlier) this morning, got to the setup and got all settled in. I didn't snag a pic of the spot...- jeremy.b

Family Man's 2024 hunt log
Turkey season is upon us now and our youth season started Monday. I was able to secure different access into an area of public ground close to the house. The access we used last year was lost due to a land sale. This spot was where Caleb shot his bird the 2nd to last day of season last year and...- jeremy.b

The Season of Stupid (& elk)
Ahh, its not done!! Plenty of opportunity for a last ditch effort to plaster another layer of crazy onto a pretty epic season of crazy. I'd bet the hardest part is being properly motivated to engage the crazy button hard enough this late in the season :D.- jeremy.b

The Season of Stupid (& elk)
Without reviving a 10+ page discussion, I chamber a round if I'm in country holding critters. That may be right out of the truck, or waiting until moving through an easement etc, just depends. I will say this, with a round chambered I am constantly checking my safety and very focused on muzzle...- jeremy.b

Family man's 2023 hunt log/recap
Huh, thats actually a really good question, one I haven't really thought about. Where legal, I've always picked up antlers/deadheads, so that's the best answer I can give really. In this case the carcass had sat for better part of a month, and not in a hard-to-get-to spot, so the proper owner...- jeremy.b

Family man's 2023 hunt log/recap
Got in a late afternoon hunt today. Been wanting to get out for a longer day but final winter prep on the house and a fun 2nd round of a cold slowed me down a bit. Was a great quick trip, bumped a handful of does on my target ridge and cut some good sized buck tracks on the way up the hill.- jeremy.b
