Seven Hunting Tips For August

1) Tune Your Bow

2) Shoot your bow 5 times a day to keep your form.

3) Begin estimating distance ,then check to see how close you were with a range finder.

4) Place game cameras on a food source.

5) Don't check your cameras to often . All your doing is educating the deer in the area.

Name's

This is the time of the year when the cool mornings give up their hold to the warmth of the sun. A time when the dogwoods are in full bloom and the sound of a Gobbler can be heard in the distance at first light. Spring time is my favorite time of the year. The browns of winter turn to green and bring with them a since of newness. During this time of the year you can find me any given morning running and gunning for the chance at harvesting a"Long Beard", "Thunder Chicken", or a "Boss Gobbler." This "Old Beard" has earned the respect of many a hunter and is called by many different names. He has been known to humble, frustrate, discourage and just outsmart the best hunter. It has been said, if a turkey could smell you would never be able to kill him! I do believe that to be true.God also has many names that he goes by. In the Old Testament He was known as Jehovah Jirah (our Provider), El Shaddai (Lord God Almighty), and Yahweh(Lord Jehovah). In the New Testament He is known as Abba (Father), The Christ, Good Shepherd, High Priest, and in Revelations the King of the Ages. These are just a few. Although He has many names He is the God of both the Old Testament and the New Testament and will soon be the reigning King of the End Times. To me He is my Savior, Master and Lord of my life. I don't only know His name, but I know Him personally.That "Thunder Chicken" may outsmart me in the morning and that is ok, but there is one thing for sure, my Lord will never leave me nor forsake me.

What name do you know Him as?

Scripture of the Month:"

O Lord, our Lord how excellent is your name in all the Earth." Psalm 8:1

Thought of the Month:

Do you only know the names of God or do you know the God of those names?

Hunting Tip of the Month:

Try hunting turkey in the afternoon after every other hunter has gone homeor to work. I have found that they will respond very well to an afternoonof cold calling.

Johnny is new to the sport of turkey hunting and this not only his first bird ,but the first bird of the 2011 season for our club. Ok you old time turkey hunters ya'll better get with it !!!Good job Johnny !!!!! Leave the big one for me !!!!

Larry this bird is waiting for you on field 12. Turkey season opens March 15th.

End Of The Season

End of the Season

2010 - 2011 deer season has come to a close and may I say my "butt" is thankful. One year I am going to add up all the hours I spend in a climber with anticipation of harvesting a mature white tail. Now for some of us the "excuses" begin... You know, you have used them yourself: "It was too cold.", "The deer never moved.", "I guess I was sitting in the wrong spot.", "The scope was off." As hunters we have all used one or more of these to describe our hunting season. Now, let me ask you a question, "What excuse are you usuing for not having your family in church?" As men and fathers it is our responsibility to see to it that our families are raised in church and grow in Christ. When the time comes and I am at the end of my life's season, I want to look back and know my children are grounded in Christ and involved in church, serving Him. It may not happen quite that way, but I know the scripture says. "Train up a child in the way he or she must go and when he or she is old, they will not depart from it." 2011 - 2012 hunting season will be here before you know it and again some of us will rely on some excuse to describe our season. Don't let your life's season come to an end and find you standing before the Lord without making sure you have trained your family in the way they should go ,because there will be no excuses that will work then. Have a great Turkey Season!!

Scripture of the Month:

"Train up a child in the way he or she must go and when he or she is old, they will not depart from it."

Thought of the Month:

Men be the example for your children you need to be, not the excuse that they use.

Hunting Tip of the Month:

Make sure you pattern your shot gun before hunting season. Different brands of shells and shot size will pattern differently from gun to gun. Find one that patterns just right for your gun.

Entrapment

Entrapment

Several Posts below you will find a picture of a mock scrape I made with the heal of my boot.I doctored it up with a little " Code Blue" ,so to attract a buck ,both visually and to appeal to his since of smell.The bottom line is I am setting a trap to harvest a buck. Satan uses the same techniques on us , He knows just what to use ,to distract us from what God has in store for us.Just as I know during the rut the bucks are running wild looking for a doe in heat. Satan knows there are times in our Christian life He can distract us from our daily walk with Christ. In many cases He does not have to destroy us He just has to nudge us enough ,so that we take our eyes off of the Lord. I hate to say ,but then there are those Christians who are so entrapped by Satan that it begins to effect their choices in life and even there relationship with the Lord. Just as I want to harvest a Big Buck , Satan is out to destroy us. No I have not killed that Big Buck yet . It may be he has chosen to use a safer path than the one I have set my trap on. As Christians we must be aware that Satan is out to get us ,so take the path of righteousness and keep your eyes on the Lord , he will see you through.

Scripture Of The Month:

"Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of my enemies"

Psalms 27 :11

Thought Of The Month:

Have I Fallen Into A Trap Set By Satan To Distract Or Destroy Me?

Hunting Tip Of The Month:

Not only does a flash light , light your path in the dark but it alerts other hunters in the area you are not a deer coming out on their green field.
