It's almost Turkey time!!!!!

Well, the weather has been unbelievably warm. I have never seen things happen this early in the year. Turkeys strutting and gobbling everywhere. By the time the season starts, all of the breeding will be done. I don't know if that will make the hunting better or worse, but we're sure gonna find out!

Dave and I have been working hard putting out food plots and listening for birds. I say "working", but it's all fun. I just love being in the woods this time of year. I love to deer hunt, and fish, but nothing compares to turkey hunting for me. Other than spending time with my family, there is nothing I would rather do. It's in my blood, and as long as the good Lord allows, I will continue to chases them longbeards! There is really nothing that compares to me. I appreciate more and more every single moment I get to spend in the turkey woods. I have been blessed, and all I can do is continue to thank God for all he has given me.
I would also like to thank all of the landowners that allow us to pursue our passion. You are all appreciated more than you know.

I want to second what Dave has said, the people in southern Indiana and Kentucky have endured a lot from these devestating tornados. The little town of Marysville Indiana was blown off the map..............literally! The power of mother nature is unbelievable and should never be ignored. People lost their lives, and many people lost most of their possessions. We all need to pray for these folks. And a big high five goes out to all of the meteorologists in the area. They predicted this storm a day in advance, and their warnings during the storm saved many lives I'm sure. ....................Prayers are with all of these folks.

I also had a chance to take my boy Austin fishing at Patoka lake. We fished for crappie and caught about 30. He caught one that measures over 15", which is huge for us. It was a great day for Father and Son. I won't forget it, and I'm sure he won't either.

.....well, that's all for now. Turkey season is fast approaching which makes it even harder to go to work! I can't wait! Dave and I are gonna have a lot of fun hunting, and taking our kids hunting. It can't get here soon enough!

Remember, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck,................pretend it's a turkey!

God Bless and shoot straight!

Turkeys everywhere!!!!!!

I wanna start this by asking everyone to pray for all the tornado victims in southern indiana.These people have had their lives turned upside down.Glenn texted me on sat saying it was totally unbelievable.The redcross is taking cash donations to help these people out.Hopefully we can all do something for them.Ok,on with the turkeys.All this warm weather has the turkeys fired up!!!!Been seeing turkeys strutting everywhere.Seems like it's starting early this year as well as the fishing.Was up at patoka yesterday with my dad to try out a boat and caught a couple 3 puonders in 10 minutes.Water around 50 degrees.Glenn and myself have been getting our food plots ready for spring planting the last couple weeks.We got high hopes with all these new plots.It's got to help in the long run.It looks like a good turkey season this year.All of the barebones crew i'm sure is fired up!!!!Good luck and god bless to all.

NWTF

NWTF show was awesome! The kids didn't want to leave. We got a early start and got down there before it opened, so we had time to ride the escalators, kids thought it was great! When we got in there we saw Will Primos and Herald Knight and David Hale. Kids got their autographs. Then we went to the Roost. Where the kids had the time of there lives. Tons of stuff for them to do and keep us busy for half of the day. We heard a lot of turkeys and seen a lot of cool people that were super nice. Don't know about the other to boys, but my daughter is still talking about it. She's HOOKED!!!!

NWTF

Hate it that all the team couldn't make it down to the NWTF show with us this weekend, but me and Hubie will make an appearance. Let you all know how it goes when we get back...looking forward to having a good time. Taking the kids with us this time, after all, that's what it's all about! Teaching our youth about hunting and the outdoors so they can carry on the tradition. I know Jaryn is ready to get down there and see what it's all about!

Has anybody ever seen a winter like this? It's been nuts! Enough talk about that. It's time to talk about turkeys gobbling, bass hitting suspending jerkbaits, bluegill on the beds, and fish frys. Hannah and myself cannot wait to get that longbeard at bout 30 yrds. Gonna plan some trips to guntersville if i can get Glenn and Austin to tag along. The big G is truley something to talk about. Can't wait! Glenn and myself have already been working on food plots, it's a never ending thing for us. We got high hopes for our little food plots. One more thing, hope the DNR doesn't put the turkey in the same shape the deer are in!

C'mon Spring!!!!

Man I hate these dreary days of late January. I don't think I've seen the sun shine since November! To say I have cabin fever would be a major understatement. I can't wait until spring. I keep telling myself that it won't be long and we'll all be chasing them longbeards around the woods. I absolutely love to deer hunt, but there is nothing quite like hearing that big boss tom gobble on a cool spring morning. It gets in your blood!

We had a good deer season, but didn't get as many on film as we would have liked. Big brother Brian took a great buck with his bow on film. Just another 150 incher for him! I took a really nice 145 inch 8-pointer on film. Dave shot a good buck on public property. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get it on film. He was 1.8 miles from the truck, and thats in a straight line! He had to work for that buck. I just wish I was there to film it. I had the camera following my boys around the woods that day. Now, as for Kent, I think he was still in shock from the 170 incher he shot last year, so he didn't shoot a buck this year. He says he passed a few, but I really think he forgot to take his guide with him. (His guide is Brian by the way)!!
It was still a great season and we'll be working on the video soon.

We have started on the turkey video from last year and hopefully we'll have it done soon too.

As Brian stated in his post, you'll notice that our website has changed a lot. It's in construction now and we hope it will be much better than before. We will be updating things weekly, (sometime daily), so check back often. We would love nothing more than to interact with everybody. Please join our conversations in the Journal section of the website. Also, if you would like to contact us directly, you can send us and e-mail anytime.

Glenn's e-mail glenn@barebonesoutdoors.com
Brian's e-mail brian@barebonesoutdoors.com
Dave's e-mail david@barebonesoutdoors.com

Well, that's it for now. Things are getting busy for us. Hope you all enjoy the video's and the website.

Remember, if work was fun, they would call it fishin.

Black Friday Big Buck



 The morning of November 25th I finally picked the right tree on the right morning! This season has been one of the toughest seasons for me to even get a chance at a shooter buck. More south winds than I can ever recall during bow season. And more windy days too. I know for sure that our deer population is down and still on the decline due mainly to the over harvest of does. There were several days with no deer sightings at all. Deer sign in general is mostly sparse with small concentrations in certain areas. Its in one of those areas that I shot this big buck. I have hunted the area a lot in years past and I decided to scout it a week or so prior the 25th. When I got back to the truck I had seen over 10 does and 5 bucks! I had finally found an area worth spending some more time in. Kent and I took turns as cameraman in this area a couple times with one close encounter with a good ten pointer that we almost got a shot at. It was my turn on the 25th and once again we had a south wind. I only had one stand location for a south wind so in we went. Only this time it was a calm cold morning with a good frost . I looked up at Kent after we settled in with our climbers and said " I'm gonna kill a big buck today". Little did I know about a couple hours later that statement would come true. At about 8:50 am a doe snapped me to attention as she came running toward our tree with a big buck following by 40 yards or so. She stopped 15 yards from my tree and the big boy stopped at about 35 yards....I was already at full draw as Kent gave me the OK. But  I thought the buck would come to the doe so I let down my Matthews and waited to see his next move. I didn't really want to take that long of a shot. But then he turned back to his back trail, I'm not sure if he smelled where we walked in or if he was defending his doe from the smaller bucks that were trailing. So back to full draw I came. And at 38 yards my arrow found its mark. The buck crashed off and a little later I was standing over one of the bigger bucks Ive shot. I rough scored him at around 151" gross. He is a nine pointer with over 12" G2s! He field dressed 188 lbs. Truly a trophy buck that I am very thankful to have even got a chance at. Thanks to Kent for doing a great job on the camera. It should make a great hunt for the next video.

Big Buck Down




Well, you can't imagine how glad I am to post this. Big Buck Down! I took off from work on Monday November the 7th and decided to hunt. The weather was really not very good for this time of year. The morning temperature was 52, and it was a little breezy, but what are you gonna do, it's November 7th and I needed to be in the woods. Anyway, Dave had to work, and my kids were at school so I decided to try to not only hunt, but film myself. I headed out, and on my way to my stand jumped 2 deer. Needless to say, I wasn't happy. I got to my stand and got everything strapped to the tree with plenty of time to spare. Right at first light, I had a small 6 pointer come within 10 yards in front of my stand. My spirits lifted a little, and I thought maybe this would be a good morning after all. At around 8:00 I decided to do a little rattling with some grunts thrown in. At around 8:15, I heard something in front of me and to the right. I immediately saw a deer across a little drainage ditch in front of my stand. He raised his head and right away I knew he was a shooter. He was 80 yards away but slowly quartering to me. I was trying to get the camera on him, but I was more concerned with trying to actually shoot the deer. At about 40 yards, the buck started to turn away from my stand. I frantically reached for the grunt call and gave a couple of short quick grunts. The buck stopped, and immediately turned toward me and came trotting in. I moved the camera hoping I was getting some footage, and at 15 yards I stopped him. I released the arrow and thought I hit him a little far forward. The buck ran about 40 yards and piled up, a double lung shot! I watched the footage, and there he was right in the middle of the screen. I had not only shot a great buck, but got it on film to boot! I couldn't believe what had just happened. God had answered my prayers. Moments before I saw this deer I had prayed my usual prayer, and ended my prayer with, "God, if you see fit to have a big buck walk in front of me this morning, that would be great". That's exactly what happened! Well, I got down, and after a short trailing job found the buck, and he is a beauty. A main frame 8 pointer with two stickers off of each main beam. I gross scored him at 145, (give or take a couple of inches). He's an absolutely great buck, and I got it all on film. Just an unbelieveable day that I will never forget. God continues to bless me way more than I deserve! Good luck to everyone!

Latest news from the field 10/31/11

Well, saw some bucks and many does this weekend. No shooters. Weather has been great for deer hunting. Problem we're seeing is that the overall deer numbers are way down. Everybody we've talked to are seeing less deer now than a few years ago. Not going to get into a big discussion again about regulations, but the Indiana DNR is doing an absolute horrible job managing the deer herd. Enough said about that. (If anybody wants me to go into detail, just ask, but be prepared for an ear full)!

Dave shot a doe on October 21st. He was off work, and I had to work, so he didn't have a cameraman. Said he passed a 120" eight pointer. He had a great morning.

I've got a lot of days off coming up and the weather is supposed to be good for hunting. We've been limited on our hunting spots and we plan to spend some money on some hunt leases next year. It's really a shame that hunting has become a rich mans sport. (Again, if you want me to go into detail about this, just ask)! Ha ha.

Good luck to everyone. It's October 31st, time for the rut!!!

Remember to respect the game that you hunt, and to praise God for your time afield.

Team Huber/Nunemaker on the board

Well, I decided to hunt the evening of October 12th. Dave had to babysit, so I took the camera and went by myself. It was a very warm but calm evening, and my expectations weren't very high. About an hour before dark, I had 3 does come from a small pond and make their way to a food plot that Dave and I planted. At about 12 steps, I double lunged one of the does. She ran about 30 yards and piled up. It wasn't easy, but I got it on film. Would have preferred to have Dave there running the camera! Video is ok for filming myself.
Well, anyway, we're on the board! Can't wait for the rut to start!

Good luck, God bless, and shoot straight!

Oct 5 2011 Deer Season

And I'm sitting at home with 2 broken fingers!!!! One of them being my trigger finger. I'm just itching to get this cast off and get in the woods. So all you guys complaining that it's to hot to hunt I will gladly trade you places! That's all I got to say since I can't type left handed !!!!

Bring on Deer Season!

Just like Dave said, we've been doing a lot to get ready for the upcoming season. We really struggled last year after losing most of our hunting ground. Some of the property sold, and some of our past "friends" decided that a little money and the possibility of a little fame was more important than friendship, so we gave up our opportunity to hunt those places also. God, family and friends are whats most important to us. We don't just say it, we LIVE it! Dave and I have been hunting together for more years than I care to count. We're like brothers. Thats the sort of people you'll see in our videos. (Some of us actually ARE brothers)! We're certainly not to worried about fame and fortune. We film our hunts because we love hunting and we wanted to share our adventures with everyone. Sure, we would all like to hunt for a living, but for now, were content with what we're doing. Things are happening really fast, and I see nothing but success in our future! Our videos are getting better every year, our editing knowledge is getting better every year, and we're having a blast!
Now, lets talk about hunting ethics. If there's one thing we pride ourselves on here at BareBones Outdoors, its obeying ALL of the game laws ALL of the time! I would never break the law just to fill a tag. Unfortunately, there are some of those that break game laws every year, and let me tell ya, it's not worth it, and I couldn't do it! Now, I don't always agree with many of our game laws here in Indiana, but I assure you all of us follow those laws no matter what. (Way too many does being killed, basically no antler restrictions, and having the gun season come in during the peak of the rut, are just a few of the game laws I don't agree with)!
Dave and I are trying to make more of a commitment this year to filming. Last year was tough, but that's no excuse to split up and stop filming. For those of you who haven't tried filming, just imagine giving up at least half of your time hunting. I love filming, and I'm certainly not complaining. The more I film, the more I enjoy it. It means just as much to me to get good footage of a kill as it does to pull the trigger. It gets in your blood!
We do have a few new places to hunt this year, and we are always on the lookout for more. We are going to be doing a lot more public land hunting, which means a lot of walking, which means this fat boy needs to lose some weight! I'm more excited this year than I've been in the last 10 years. We have so many good opportunities with new places to hunt this year. Like always, God has blessed us more than we deserve.
I would like to thank Kent for inviting us up to his house. Kent has been stuck doing all of the editing because my computer is down and so is Brians. Kent has done a great job, and I think everybody is going to love the new deer video. Brother Brian was at a Chicago Cubs game, and I do believe they won, so Sharon should be happy!
Anyway, we haven't posted in a while, so I thought a little update was in order.

Keep shootin them bows, 'cause the season is just around the corner!

GETTIN READY!!!!!!!

We'll it's that time of year for bowhunters all across indiana to start gettin ready for the season.Here at barebones outdoors ,we have already started.Glenn and myself have been puttin out food plots every where there is a semi clean area.We found a couple new spots to hunt that we can do what we want on them.Were gettin some decent bucks on trail cams plus seein some late in the evenings,so its looking better than last year already.So,with that said,good luck to everybody.Hope to post some good news in coming months.Oh by the way ,Brian how was the cubs game?We had a great time editing at Kents house!!!!!lol

Its HOT!!!!

Man it's hot outside. The daytime temperature today was 100 degrees with the heat index at 115! Thats just crazy. I won't complain about being cold in my treestand ever again!

Well, the baseball season has ended for the year for Kurtis too. He's so tired of playing for some of these so-called "coaches". Many of these "coaches" at the high school level are only interested in coaching so they can make sure their kid, (who can't play a lick), gets some playing time. It's way to political. My boy is a great player, but he's just about burnt out. He found out if he's not playing baseball, he has much more time to hunt, and make money. He's all for that! His baseball career could be over, and thats fine by me. That will just mean more time I get to spend with him in the great outdoors. I've pushed him for soo many years to play sports, and I finally had to ask myself, why? He's having tons of fun now and he's not playing any sport. He's a great kid, and I can't wait until deer season so we can do a lot of hunting together.

Well, thats it for now.

Stay cool, and remember, October is only 71 days away!

Summer Time Fishin


Well Glenn your right, not much going on here either. We're done at the ballpark for the year so that gives me time to edit the new Bare Bones Outdoors Deer Video. Its coming along , its gone be Awesome!! The new computer and new software is slowing me down a little, but I'm working through it. In the meantime, Ive been fishing with the guys at work . So far its been a good year for BIG BASS!!! Hey Dave, what u say about that!! How's the BASS trail? You been wining some $$$$$$$$$? Well, I got to back to the video... good luck FISHIN.

Summer fun

Since there's not a lot of hunting going on this time of year, I figured I had better post something on the blog just to give people something to read!

My oldest boy Kurt got his drivers license, so stay off of the sidewalks. He has summer basketball, and he's playing in 2 seperate summer baseball leagues, so he has a busy schedule this summer. The kid is an athlete, and I don't know where he gets it!

My youngest boy Austin has caught 100's of bass from some of the local farm ponds. I think he wants to become a professional fisherman. He's just gonna hang out and enjoy his summer, (Man, that sounds like fun. I sure miss those days)!

I've got my hands full right now. I'm ripping out all of the carpet in the house and putting in wood floors, and my A/C went out! Not a great time to lose you A/C when the daytime temperatures are in the high 90's! We'll just have to fix things as we can afford to do so.

I've been seeing many bucks in velvet around some of the places we hunt. I'm getting ready to put out the trailcameras and see what kind of pictures I can get.
I also saw 4 toms strutting in a field this week. Kinda late to see that many strutting in a field. It was an awesome sight though.

That's about it for now. The dog days of summer are fast approaching, and that's when I start to long for those cold mornings in my treestand.

Deer season will be here before you know it. Make sure you got that bow out doing some summer practicing!

Now, back to work for me! ..............Yeeeeeeee Hawwwwwwwwww

Time for some fishing




As turkey season comes to end my mind always turns to the water....time to get serious at some fishin!! I too am always sad to see turkey season come to an end but also I know that I have been missing out on some good fishing while chasing those gobblers. I was definitely blessed to have another great turkey season. First to get to go along with Hannah and her Dad as she took her first turkey, then to watch my son Drake man up and take a trophy bird in tough conditions. I'm very proud of him and he is turning into a pretty darn good hunter. I cant wait for next year to take my youngest son Brax who is 6. He is a lot smaller than Drake so it will be a challenge that I am looking forward to.


I was fortunate enough to film my own hunt on my property, then the next day film big brother Mark on an incredible hunt on his land, and then two days later film an awesome early morning hunt with Kent as a big strutter put on a show. What a season!!


It was great to get to hunt with both my brothers this season and I loved it! Time spent with family and friends in God's country.....that is what its all about.

We should have a great turkey video and Kent is already busy editing the deer vid which will be done soon.

All I know is I'm ready to hit the lake!...and so are my boys. I don't really care what kind of fish we catch...or shoot!!

Keep the sun at your back, the wind in your face, and God in your heart.

End of the season

Well, this is always a sad time of year for me, the end of turkey season. Seems like the season just started, and now it's over. I have to say, we had a great season though. There sure were a lot of highlights to the season which should make for an awesome video.

As always, I have to thank God for allowing all of us to enjoy the great outdoors with our families and friends. It's just amazing to me how chasing a bird around the woods can be so enjoyable.

My brother Brian and I actually got to hunt together, which is a rare occasion for us. We didn't shoot anything, but it was one of the best days turkey hunting I had all year. We both have families and many responsibilities and the miles that we live apart prevents us from hunting together much, so to be able to spend a day hunting with my brother is a memory that will last a lifetime. Thanks big brother!

Of course, Dave survived another year hunting with me, and I'm here to tell ya, that ain't easy! We had some great hunts and laughed our rears off like we always do. We pick on each other all season just like we're brothers................which we probably are and just don't know it!

My oldest boy Kurtis didn't get one this year because of his baseball schedule. When you're the starting shortstop and the #3 batter on the team, the coach doesn't want you to miss ANY games or practices. We'll just hit it even harder next year! He's got plenty of time to hunt, but a very short window to play baseball. My youngest boy Austin got his on a pretty quick hunt in Kentucky, now all he wants to do is fish! Guess I'm ready for the fishing too!

Anyway, I could talk about all of the hunts, but you'll see them on the video.

I'm just glad I'm still healthy enough to be able to chase those turkeys with my family and friends. There is nothing quite like sitting in the woods on a cool spring day, listening to all of the birds and observing all of the trees coming to life. Then suddenly, in the distance, a lone gobble snaps you back into hunter mode, and the chase begins. I really feel sorry for those folks who don't get to experience the things I experience in the turkey woods.

God is great, and he continues to bless all of us more than we deserve.

Time to bring the bow out and put the hurtin on some carp!

.........I reluctantly say good bye to the 2011 turkey season. It's been great!

Mother's Day Hunt

Started out Sunday morning with a heavy fog and rain drops dripping from the trees. With Brian as my guide we headed out at 5:30am and arrived in the woods around 6:00am and just sat and listening for the birds to gobble on roost. We heard one off in the distance and started working the bird and working our way toward the bird. The bird did not co operate very well. We moved and set up this bird 3 different times but with no luck the bird just shut up and that game was over. Brian knew another spot and we re located and started listening for more birds. We heard a good bird and set up and started calling to him. He would answer every now and then. Brian decided to try and move a little closer. We made our move and the bird started responding a little better so we set up yet another time and thought the bird was heading our way but got hung up and the edge of creek. Brian tried to work the bird and convince him to cross the creek but he was just to stubborn. Brian decided to make a move and go around the ridge to the other side if the creek. We made to the other side and started calling to him and he started responding so we set up in one spot and just waited on him for about 40 minutes and he just got hung up so Brian decided to move a little closer. We moved about 50 yards and started calling again and the bird responded and he started moving closer. We set there for about 45 minutes with the bird answering to Brian's slate call just about every time. The bird sounded as though he was moving closer but then he would sound as though he was farther away. He kept this up for about 30 minutes and then he just went tight lipped. By this time it was getting close to 11:00am and we both had places to be on Mother's Day. I would like to thank Brian for having the patience to take a rookie who is not a kid and out of shape. Those big hills will kill a big guy if you don't take your time. Thanks to the good Lord for letting us have such a wonderful day. I'm going to keep trying and I might just get lucky.

Hunting with big brother







The 330 a.m. alarm came awful early.....but I was excited to get going. I was heading south to Crawford county to hunt with my older brother Mark on his 160 acres of God's country. He manages his property well for deer and turkey and the work is paying off. He has been watching a clover food plot and the turkeys are out there everyday. So to me it was obvious.......pop up a blind on the edge and wait em out. We only heard one tom gobble at day light and he was way across a valley with some hens for company. So we waited and called every now and then. Soon we heard another gobble from a different direction, then soon another, then another! I lost count, but I'm sure there were a least 8 gobblers in the valley behind us!! It wasn't long and the 1st turkey was in the food plot. It was a jake. Not long after he left we had a longbeard strutting to the decoys, but at 70 yards he saw something he didn't like and went back in the woods behind the blind. He must have walked 10 feet from the blind behind us! Soon after that we had two more gobbling and closing in to the food plot. Between Mark on his old box call and me on the mouth calls we soon had them both strutting in to the decoys. and at 17 yards Mark leveled off and slammed his 2011 turkey! I got some really good footage. Mark was fired up and I was too! While we were taking pictures we had three more longbeards cross the food plot! What a great place he has down there. It has been a long time since Ive got to hunt with my big brother and really enjoyed the whole day. He was the one that really got me into hunting. He would take me along before I could drive and I have never forgot that. Thanks brother. His bird was 22 1/2 lbs. and had 23 mm spurs.

Drakes 2011 Turkey



Heres a couple pictures of Drakes turkey taken on Easter Sunday. 23 lbs, 42mm spurs! I think he's hooked!!!!

Day 4 Turkey Slam




The day started out great...NO rain!!! I meet Hubey at 5:15AM in the parking lot where we start every hunt we go on. This is the first day we get to hunt together this year....and I get to hunt first! We get out to location and we listen for HAMMERHEADS. The wind is blowing MACH 90 and of course, we can't here a thing. Wind and rain don't mix with turkey huntn. But we've done our scouting so we step in the woods a little and wait........BANG one hammers and he is right on us. We set up call him in to 25 yards and were done!!!

Day 2

For the last couple of years I've taken a day or two to hunt with Steve(an OLD friend of mine.) We started this year off with opening day. Of course we had the rain to deal with but we also had to deal with all of his huntn land being under water from the river being out. Now huntn the river bottoms always has good turkeys and big misquotes but this year we got big waves!! We decide to start out on high ground on the 1st day, and we hear some turkeys and see some hunters,not a good day, but at least the rain quit. Day 2 didn't start out much better with the temp.down the turkeys were froze up at first light so we went for more COFFEE!! Well about 8:00 we spotted some big O river bottom hammerheads on the levee and slipped in. Got to about 20y and......and IT WAS DONE !!!! Our first hammerhead ON VIDEO!!! THANK YOU GOD!!


Had a great time huntn with an OLD friend and hey...we finally got it done.
