My Hometown

Hey guys! Today I want to share with you a little about my hometown where my love for hunting and fishing first took root; St. Joseph. I started waterfowl hunting my 8th grade year with a few buddies on the Sauk River. The river runs right through on the outside of town and is home to lots of mallards and wood ducks. It is harder to hunt with the flowing current but it also stays open a lot later in the year compared to other lakes so that attracts the birds as well.

Another area we used to hunt was the private pond right behind my old house. It was a small 30 acre lake surrounded my reeds and big woods that was a huge home to geese and wood ducks. We shot tons of ducks on these two bodies of water and had a lot of great memories on them!

When I wasn't duck hunting I was bow hunting. My friends dad owns a small 50 acre slot of land on the outskirts of town that they allowed me to hunt. I went back and set up three trail cameras to attempt to survey their patterns. With little to no luck I rearranged my setup and got a few does and fawns and a nice 8 point buck. I hunted for awhile and passed up a few nice does. This was a fun area to hunt and I am now starting to doing some trapping on the property.
