Fishing for walleye and catfish at the Pawnee State Recreational Area outside of Lincoln Nebraska. May 22nd 2022.

If 22LR is great for plinking than how much better is 50BMG? Here we have some footage of friends and I casually shooting a Barrett M95 50BMG bolt-action rifle at Boar Creek Ranch in Tennessee Colony, Texas. This cannon is a hoot to shoot! Yes, We did turn a couple of unlucky pond turtles into targets of opportunity. Thanks to Bill and the whole staff at BCR. They were very gracious and worked tirelessly to ensure we had an enjoyable experience at the ranch.

This video shows my daughters' reactions to a pair of new Broad-Breasted Turkey chicks that I brought home for our backyard coop.

This slideshow features some photographs and video clips of my latest trip to Texas where I visited Boar Creek Ranch for a weekend of hog hunting. Several friends and I enjoyed our time in the lone star state. We shot lots of guns, had some good food, and chased wild pigs through the woods. Special thanks to Bill at Boar Creek Ranch for working tirelessly to give each and everyone of us an opportunity at a hog.

Last year during the 2021 November rifle season I took to the woods with friends and family in search of whitetail deer. We had several sightings of game animals and my wife harvested her third deer on opening weekend. We were very excited to tag in a healthy young white tail buck. This slideshow captures some of those moments that we shared out in the outdoors of Nemaha county, Nebraska.

In November of 2019 I harvested two whitetail deer for the freezer with a 30-06 Springfield bolt-action rifle. During blackpowder season I completed my first successful muzzleloader hunt on December 31st and added a third whitetail to the freezer.

This is some older footage from the summer of 2018. I decided to film a portion of my range day at the Eastern Nebraska Gun Club and discuss some of the firearms in my collection. The guns being shot here include the old Colt 1903 32ACP pistol made in 1917. The nickel plated Smith & Wesson Model 15 38 Special revolver from 1987. A newer production Ruger GP100 357 Magnum revolver. Marlin model 1894 357 Magnum carbine, and the Marlin 39A 22LR rifle made back in 1948. Modern weapons really are excellent but I generally prefer shooting vintage revolvers and cowboy lever-action rifles.

Right as the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic started to flare up in the United States some friends and I hopped in our trucks and headed south for the lone star state. Our destination? Boar Creek Ranch in Tennessee Colony, Texas! Bill and the entire staff at the ranch made sure we had ample opportunities to get a chance at a wild pig. We shot guns, Ate good food, Met some great people, and everyone in our group slayed a wild hog. I managed to record some clips and take some pictures over the weekend. I have complied them into a video to commemorate our experience.

This is a slideshow of short video clips and some of my favorite photographs set to some cowboy music. Here I am showing some highlights from our great 2021 trip to fabulous Boar Creek Ranch in Tennessee Colony, Texas. A wonderful time was had by all... Except the pigs of course!

This little piggy went into my freezer. Quick video clip of another wild hog biting the dust at Boar Creek Ranch in Tennessee Colony, Texas. Footage recorded in March of 2021 during our annual trip to the property.

This slideshow is a short collection of photographs from the November firearm season. In 2020 I enjoyed two successful hunts during the season and I harvested a mature whitetail doe and also a young whitetail fawn. I continued my tradition of hunting in southeast Nebraska primarily in Nemaha county. Both animals were taken with the Marlin XL7 bolt-action rifle. The weapon is housed in a Boyd's laminated hardwood stock and fitted with a Redfield Revolution 3-9x40mm scope. I butchered the deer myself and greatly enjoyed the bounty of fresh venison.

In March of 2020; just as the Covid-19 pandemic was hitting the United States- several friends and I visited Boar Creek Ranch in Tennessee colony, Texas. We had a great time there and harvested several hogs over the weekend. One of the many ways to hunt feral pigs at Boar Creek Ranch is to sit patiently with red lights illuminating the feeder. Nick and Bryan (DrewArtist) had a successful hunt and managed to record the experience on my camera. I believe DrewArtist was hunting with a Ruger Gunsite Scout rifle chambered in .450 Bushmaster using the Hornady ammunition on this hunt. Upon the return home he turned the wild pig into delicious sausages.

My pre-season scouting and planning paid off in 2019. During November I was blessed with very mild weather and fortunate to have the opportunity to harvest not one but TWO healthy young whitetail deer for our freezer. I used the Marlin XL7 30-06 Springfield bolt-action rifle with the Boyd's blaze laminated prairie hunter stock and the matte black Redfield Revolution 3-9x40mm scope (My go-to deer hunting setup). Both deer were taken with Winchester 150 grain ammunition in Nemaha county, Nebraska during the firearm season. In December I again ventured out to the woods and completed my first successful muzzleloader hunt on December 31st. Using the .50 caliber Connecticut Valley Arms Optima Elite muzzleloader I added a third healthy whitetail to the freezer. These three animals provided a great deal of healthy food for me and for my family.

Fishing for blues and channels with Bryan from Bearded Hookers at Milford Lake, KS and Czechland Lake in Prague, NE during 2019. We had a great time out on the water. Some good fish and lots of laughs.

A collection of deer hunting pictures taken during the November firearm season. I enjoyed a successful hunting experience in beautiful Nemaha county Nebraska. One mature white tail doe was harvested using the Marlin XL7 bolt-action rifle (30-06 Springfield). On this trip my Toyota Tacoma lived up to it's nickname; "MEATLUG".

Spring turkey hunt in Lancaster county Nebraska, 2018.

This slideshow features photographs taken during 2017's Deer Camp. These pictures were captured during the November firearm season in Nemaha County, Nebraska. In 2017 I tasted success; harvesting a young whitetail buck using the Marlin XL7 .30-06 bolt action rifle.

In the summer of 2015 my wife and I visited the Lone Star state for a hog hunting get-a-way. We didn't see any pigs at the 5G Ranch (Seguin, TX) but we did enjoy the company of friends and visiting The Alamo in San Antonio.

Catching carp and catfish with Bearded Hookers Fishing at Pawnee State Recreational Area on September 30th 2016. Great night, Nice weather, and we caught lots of fish. One to remember.

Contents contain highlights from 2010 hunts in southeast Nebraska. The clips and photographs featured here include moments from upland game bird and waterfowl hunting at Branched Oak recreational center in Lancaster county Nebraska. Deer hunting footage is from territory outside of Peru Nebraska in Nemaha county. 2010 proved to be a great and rewarding year for hunting. Kristina and I harvested six whitetail deer between October and November. I am greatly looking forward to boar hunting in March and the return of the fall hunting seasons.

This is a slideshow of snapshots that were all taken back in 2009 during the Fall hunting season. 2009 was a good year- The weather was fairly mild and we saw lots on animals. At this time I was just getting introduced to upland bird hunting and whitetail hunting. Harvesting a mature whitetail buck in Nemaha county Nebraska got me hooked on deer hunting. Thanks to my friend Bryan for all of his assistance.

Some winter shooting fun with some old Military rifles at the Eastern Nebraska Gun Club. Blasting apart an old pumpkin with some 7.5x55mm from a Swiss K31 straight pull rifle. These old Swiss rifles are great shooting guns. The straight pull action is fast and easy to operate. Firepower consists of six rounds of 7.5x55mm fed from the detachable magazine (ballistics similar to 308 Winchester). The Model K31 qualifies as a curio or relic firearm and this particular military surplus rifle was purchased from www.AimSurplus.com

2015 proved to be a good year for our group of hunters. No one brought down a monster buck but weather conditions were favorable and every hunter brought home at least one deer. I was fortunate enough to harvest two mature whitetail does. Bryan's daughter Ayla harvested her first deer and Oliver was able to give his nephew Colin a successful whitetail hunting experience.
