I just came in from marking out a two acre spot on my farm here in Tennessee. Due to my hectic travel schedule I do not get much time to hunt here at home, but I have two boys and my wife that does not get to travel with me so they have to hunt here. I have a guy coming over next week to open up some thick timbered areas on my farm. it is covered in trails so I’m going to open it up some and get a food plot program started for my family to have a place to hunt they can get to in a few minutes from the front door.
I’m pretty excited about this spot for them. I hope they get to level a few deer on my home turf.
Outside my home turf, I just pruchased 100 acres up in Brown County, Illinois that we are getting a food plot program ready for up there too. I also just got in 6 Moultrie I-60 cameras to place up there. With all the rain that those guys have been getting it should be a good antler growing year! I have high hopes for this season!

I’m sure most of you guys know by now, but if don’t, all the new hunting shows are on the air as of last Sunday. Every show that is airing as of now is new stuff from this past fall. There are several new shows on that are well worth watching. One of the new ones that comes to mind is called Bow Madness and is filmed and produced by my very good friend, Marc Baird. He is formally the man behind the Gettin’ Close show that airs on the Outdoor Channel. That should say enough, if he has anything to do with a show it will be worth watching.
On the other hand, my show, Knight’s Born To Hunt aired for the first time early this morning. It will air again Friday at 12:30pm and Saturday 4:30 pm central time. The first episode was filmed in Oklahoma with good friend, J R Hunter, from Wyoming and the guys from Buckventures Outdoors of Oklahoma. We level a really nice whitetail on the last day of the hunt with my Knight Long Range Hunter .52 caliber. I wish I could tell you more, but if you have not seen this episode yet I do not want to give the hunt away.
Let me know what you think!

The last few weeks have been sorta slow and relaxed. I took my family to Peurta Vallarta for a week and my two boys could not stay out of the ocean. It was a real treat to see them having so much fun.
Outside of that, we have been getting geared up to launch the new Knight’s Born to Hunt TV show. It starts rolling again in two weeks on the Outdoor Channel and Wild TV up in Canada. For the first episode, I will be hunting out in Oklahoma for whitetail with a few good friends of mine. It is a whole new style show from last years show. I’m am pleased with our new producer too say the least! He has a good vision and new wave style that I really like. Please let me know what you think when it hits the TV waves.
On another note, What is going on with the turkeys? I have been seeing two strutting and gobbling toms every morning for the last two weeks straight. Do they not know that mating season is over? It is real strange to see them still in the mating ritual this time of year.
Don’t forget about all those out of state tags that are rolling around quick. There are still a few more days left in the Illinois bow tag drawing. Do not wait until the last minute like most of us do. Don’t miss the chance to travel this fall!
