God is good!!

After meeting the objective of taking a bird, a trophy at that, during my 60th Spring Season I was pumped to get back after it this morning. After just finishing Chemo Session #10 the alarm at 3am was not welcome and my fatigued body said no way. I reset it at 5:30am to have time for some nourishment and get out for a mid morning hunt. I arrived at 9:15 am to see a bearded hen leading a strutter across a newly planted soybean field. I settled in where I thought I should be, sent a yelp out to let them know where I was and got comfortable. After an hour of watching them 300-400 yards away, the hen crossed the field ditch and led him in my direction. I remember saying “this could happen”.

I dropped my range finder when the strutter hit 50 yards and pulled my 20 gauge tight to my shoulder. In full strut, the sun reflected off his back as his head towered up and my finger tightened against the trigger. The recoil punched my bony shoulder as the gobbler fell to the ground. By the time I got to him the flop diminished to stillness. What just happened? Did the Lord just Bless me one more time. The emotion swept over me for the second time in three days as I limited out in my home state. My cancer journey took a couple most welcome turns and for that I am Blessed.

The Redemption Bird

“Last week after getting a beautiful bird in Virginia I headed back north and was in Delaware hunting Thursday morning. Delaware is a tough state to turkey hunt because the public is all permit only. Fortunately a great buddy of mine has access to some private and was able to get me out in it for the second year now. Thursday morning the bird gave us a great show out of the limb gobbling probably over 300 times before we even saw him but he had hens and would not break from them. We let the bird fade away and around 930am we got back on him….worked him in and I missed. Shot my gun later that evening and it was shooting 8 inches high. Not sure what happened but I guess between Virginia and Delaware it got bumped. I decided to take the scope off and we gave the bird a few days break. Well yesterday afternoon he showed back up strutting where he was Thursday morning and I knew we had a good chance thismorming to get another crack at him. It all happened very fast which made for little video but luckily we were still able to get the shot on camera! He gobbled on the limb maybe 10 times today and a few other birds were gobbling in deeper. When they flew down the further birds kept gobbling but he went diligent so we had figured he faded off. Dylan Finkbiner was sleeping when I heard the drumming on a strutting turkey behind us and he was close! I hit him on the shoulder and said do not move! I peaked out the side window and saw 3 hens about 4 yards away and could hear him coming behind the blind. We were not ready at all and the hens came out infront kind of on edge but he strutted right past the blind and into the decoys. Dylan got the camera turned on right in time to catch the ending on the show. Second year hunting Delaware and we were able to get it done again on another gorgeous bird and this time on film! Thankful to get another opportunity at this bird. Huge thanks again to my boy Dylan without you none of this would have been able to happen brotha and letting me sit behind the gun knowing how much it means to me.

Truly one I will never forget!”

Chasing Va Birds

“Virginia started out with a bang! Got in late last night with just enough time for a few hours of sleep. Got in tight on some birds this morning and they were fired up! Unfortunately, the hens took them away and we couldn’t get in front of them. Went to another spot and got two fired up right away and coming fast. Set up quick and within 5 minutes could hear them drumming just inside the woods. First bird came out strutting but had no beard second bird had a rope but came in cautious. Let them work out in front of us about 15 yards and they put on a hell of a show for a couple minutes. Landon Mitchell and I got lined up and absolutely smoked em! Got my first Virginia turkey and got to be behind the gun on my first true double! Blessed to meet so many amazing people and the opportunities that have come along the way…no better way to spend a cold crisp spring morning! Thanks David Scott Mitchell for having me out with you and the boys!”

Living it up "Down South"

“This spring I set out to guide all spring for (March-April) turkeys and that’s exactly what I made happen. The first chapter of my spring turkey tour is now coming to an end florida was an experience like no other. Swamps, Snakes, Spiders, Gators, Panthers, Hogs and some of the thickest woods you could ever imagine. Don’t forget about that hot florida sun either! The Osceola turkey has a bad attitude which made for some of the most fun and action packed hunts I’ve ever experienced with birds absolutely destroying the decoys. Got to meet many great people and made many memories that will never be forgotten. Already looking forward to next year in the sunshine state but for now it’s time for the next leg of the tour. Headed back north to get on some hard gobbling easterns and first stop is Virginia hopefully to knock off a new state on the list! Blessed to live the life I live and thankful for everyone who’s made it possible along the way.”

David Zielke is on the Board

“Got this dominant bird this morning. It took 4 days plus passing up his two 2 year old understudies at 10 yards the first day. Finally figured him out and set up where he meets the ladies in the morning. Had two hens come off the roost right in front of me. Ten minutes later he came into view with the two year olds following a hundred yards back. He came right into 25 yards where he came to his final rest. The UltimateCamo kept me invisible to his keen eyes.”
