Good morning all and welcome to Friday and the weekend.

Travels went well this week as we all returned home safe and are busy with family and friends arriving for the weekends festivities. My son has his First Communion tomorrow afternoon. We have a lot of family coming in from all areas of the country (California, Illinois, New York, North Carolina).

The weekend will be a lot of fun celebrating his Communion and spending quality time with everyone.

I am going to have to cut my spring turkey season short this year. I got a call and am needed at work. Ill be unloading my hunting gear / loading my work gear as I prepare to head north to Wisconsin for awhile.

Enjoy your weekend and be safe …. ‘Good luck’ if your in the turkey woods.

Good morning all and welcome to the new week,

For those that took to the woods in hopes of bagging a long beard, I hope it proved successful for you. If not, there is always another day. Any time spent in the woods is a bonus. Take advantage of it and learn from it.

I spent a few hours out Saturday morning with my son, hoping for his first bird. No luck for us thus far. Our season has been underway now for a week and I have yet to bag a bird. I am hoping for better results as we get into late season. By then, hens will be nesting good, and the toms will be a little more eager to travel on there own in search of that lonely hen.

Sunday we spent the day at the Springfield Cardinals baseball game. They lost  to the Tulsa Drillers 6 to 5.

‘Congratulations’ goes out to Denny Hamlin for his second win of the season in the Nascar Sprint Cup series. He posted a win at Kansas Speedway yesterday.

We are in for a busy week here at home. We have some business to tend to and I will be doing some travelling as well. This coming weekend proves to be fun for the whole family, as my son has his First Communion. It is sure to be a good time with a lot of family and friends going to be here on hand to help celebrate.

Enjoy your week all. Be safe and make the most of it.

Good afternoon all and welcome to Friday,

The weather has turned here yet again. Cooler temps, clouds and rain, as well as a bit of wind. Not for the making of a good day in the woods … lol.

I will be heading back out tomorrow with my son to chase some longbeards. Hopefully he will get his first bird.

Update on the Spur Chaser Racing buggy …

Ritchie will have the buggy in Rausch Creek, Pennsylvania June 2nd and 3rd for an Ultra 4 Race and qualifier for the King of the Hammers event.

Keep an eye out for pictures and updates.

Have a great weekend all.

Good morning all and welcome to Thursday.

Not a lot going on here for us. I spent the past 3 mornings in the woods chasing gobblers. Only problem is, didn’t see or hear any gobblers except the one on Monday.

I'm taking a couple days off, then I will be returning to the woods early Saturday with the company of my son. I am hoping for better results while he is along.

‘Good Luck’ to those in the woods, enjoy the rest of your week and remember to be safe.

Welcome to Monday morning,

The start of a new week and opening day of Missouri Spring Turkey Season.

I just returned home from the woods, unsuccessful today.

I did have a Tom come in from a distance off, he came in on the backside of my blind set down the hillside toward the creek bed. I had him talking, but from his location he couldn’t see my decoy setup. I couldn’t get him to close the distance for a shot. Needless to say the ground forage is so thick I never even seen him.

I'm hoping for better luck tomorrow, as I may need to move my setup.

Have a great day all and ‘Good Luck’ to those chasing Gobblers.

And so the victory goes to Greg Biffle …

Biffle pulled off the win against Jimmy Johnson in yesterdays Nascar race at Texas Motor Speedway.

Today I recheck my gear and prepare for tomorrow mornings season opener of spring turkey.

I am hoping the weather will cooperate as we have had a strong front moving through the Midwest yesterday and today. Leaving a path of destruction as tornadoes, high winds and hail have been scattered.

Enjoy the remaining portion of the weekend and be safe …

Its Friday,

I hope everyone's week went well and the weekend goes even better.

There are a lot of people counting down to tomorrows opener of spring turkey. My season doesn’t open here in Missouri until Monday …

I've already got the truck packed and ready … lol.

I wanted to share this picture of my good friend Adam. He caught this cat last weekend fishing a bass tournament in Braidwood , Illinois. I'm pretty sure they were on Braidwood Lake when he caught it. 35lbs was the weight.

Enjoy your weekend and be safe all , Good Luck in the woods.

Good morning all,

I am sorry for the delay in post’s as I have been busy with new ventures as well as old.

I spent the better part of the day working on our property yesterday with my youngest daughter. While I set up a new barrel feeder, hung 2 new trail cams, filled all the feeders, … my youngest helped me spread some more food plot seed as well as broadcast some alfalfa cubes.

I like to start my plots early allowing me to over seed throughout the year for a continual growth rate through late fall.

I have a photo shoot scheduled for tomorrow, be looking for some new pic’s from that soon.

Our spring turkey season opens here in Missouri on Monday the 16th. I am excited to get back in the woods for a bit in chase of a big gobbler. I will have my son hunting with me some later in the season.

Enjoy the rest of your week folks, and remember … any time in the woods with a family member or friend is cherished by all and the things that memories are made of.

Happy Easter !!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend filled with friends and family.

As I'm hearing updates to yesterdays Dirt Riot Race in Moab , Utah, … I'm hearing that Ritchie took the Spur Chaser Racing buggy to a 10th place finish. I don’t have all the details yet, nor any pic’s. As I get updates and info I will be sure to post.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and holiday.

Good morning all and welcome to the Holiday weekend. I hope you all have a wonderful Easter , and for those in the turkey woods … a successful, safe hunt.

Be looking for updates coming in as Ritchie Keller has the Spur Chaser Racing buggy out in Moab, Utah this weekend running in events in conjunction with the Jeep Jamboree. Ill post pic’s and updates as I get them.

There is a good chance a lot of local fans may get to see me and Ritchie together the beginning of May. The Oreilly’s 4 Wheel Jamboree is at the fairgrounds in Springfield, Missouri. Once the buggy returns from Moab, we’ll get it ready to run again, and see about getting registered for the jamboree.

Enjoy your festivities folks and be safe,,,

‘Way to go’ … to Ryan Newman for taking home the Sprint Cup Win in Martinsville today. Even after a early speeding penalty, he held on to put himself in a good spot for the finish. Team owner Tony Stewart also managed to finish in the top 10 after falling a lap down mid race. Tony’s decision to bring on Ryan with Stewart/Haas Racing has proven again to be wise. Consecutively you have 2 good drivers in the top 10 nearly every race. His recent decision to bring on Danica Patrick , should prove well as she gains from the teams experience.

Me and my son spent the morning in the woods again, with no luck. We did here a couple gobblers off in the distance, and sighted a Jake without a shot. However, we had a good time and made a fist full of memories for years to come. He will hunt with me during the regular spring season on our property as it fast approaches here in Missouri.

I hope you all had a great weekend, and I wish you the best for the upcoming new week.
