Finally October 🍂

If you’re going to fling an arrow at a living being, it’s your responsibility to make sure you take the best possible shot. You owe it to that animal to put in the time, practice, shot after shot after shot, so when that times comes you have the skill to allow an ethical harvest. Top of the line equipment, tested and trusted on the range so you can be sure of it in the field.
This year I upgraded to the fast Eddie XL single pin eight. It improved my accuracy 10 fold. I’m grouping at 40 yards with ease, my 60 yard group has me beyond confident, and 80’s is a number I couldn’t even touch before. As for arrows, the FMJ 340spline is my choice for the 4th year in a row. Of course all coming from the VXR 28” pulling 70 #

We’re 15 days out from season opener and I couldn’t be feeling more confident. Praying for an opportunity in the woods this year.

“The Copyist” A Kanati Film featuring Bill Kern of Waffy’s Whitetails Taxidermy Studio

Bill Kern grew up the son of a printer and followed in his father's footsteps. Later in life, he moved on to a different kind of professional copying: taxidermy; where instead of copying print, he copies nature.

You guys have heard me say in the podcasts that spring turkey humbles the heck out of me. Well so far this year kevs got the advantage. Two nice birds got tagged today. One in NY and one in PA. Two more from each state and we’re tagged out. Let’s see if we can make it happen this year.

From swamp to table, thinking back about this quick and very under planned opening day duck hunt we had this year. Leaving the tree stand the night before i checked a near by swamp for roosting birds and sure enough it was loaded. The next morning we got in there an hour before sunrise and tossed 4 decoys out. 2 woodie decoys and 2 mallard decoys. Sure enough as the sun came up the birds came flying in and before you know it the days over as quick as it began.
With duck I find it’s best to prepare skin in and finely plucked. We fried these in a hot cast iron skillet and served with some honey mushroom I found right below our feet on the service road along the swamp.
It was a good day, with good birds, good shootin, good friends, and a good dog named freedom.

Dad made it happen tonight on the last 30 minutes of the season! He made a perfect shot dropping this buck in his tracks, and one we’ve never seen before on camera but a nice ending of the year for us.

Todays the closing of NY’s southern zone late deer season. We then have a 5 day break until the opening of our brand new “Holiday Hunt” where you can bow/muzzleloader hunt to fill any existing deer tags from the 26th-1st.

I have hunted well over 700+ hours since October 1st today being my 80th sit (many of those sits being full day from dark to dark but the majority being a 4-5 hour morning sit with midday break and 4-5 hour evening sit until dark.) All chasing my one specific target buck. Passing some very impressive bucks, and countless younger deer.

To say I’m looking forward to this little break stand starting tomorrow may be an understatement… however you’ll find me in the duck blind with the boys until the day after Christmas where I’ll give the stand my all for the last 4 days of 2022.

I say this a LOT, but if it was for the kill I would have given this up many hours, many moons ago. It’s just what we do.
