The wait is FINALLY over

After waiting for what seams like an eternity, the new season is finally upon us. On saturday September 18th the Minnesota archery season kicks off, and gives me the opportunity to get back in a treestand.


I have done everything I could to make it through the long offseason. I have taken as many shed hunting and scouting trips as I could. I have also hung and moved and removed stands to try and be in the perfect location to harvest a mature whitetail. Then there is my biggest obsession during the offseason, trail cameras. With at least a dozen trail cameras set up to get as many pictures as possible. I have looked at 10's of thousands of pictures trying to decide which bucks our hunting party should go after.


Last but not least, I have practiced with my bow. Wanting to make sure if that buck of a lifetime gives me an opportunity, I will make the best of it. Well with all of my hunting clothes washed and ready, Hit List made, and bow shooting straight I am ready to make my 20' climb to my stand and start my season this saturday.

Week 1 Fantasy Rankings

By Ryan Lester, LestersLegends.com

Football and whitetail hunting kind of go hand in hand. You think about both all summer long and can't wait for the fall for their respective seasons to begin. While I don't share my brother's passion for deer hunting, I do share his passion for football. Knowing that many deer hunters also are avid NFL fans, and presumably fantasy football fans, he asked me to post some fantasy information to help make Monster Raxx your one-stop fall sports shop. Without further ado, here are my Week 1 fantasy football rankings.

QBs

1. Peyton Manning – 276.3 ypg, 37 TD, 8 INT lifetime vs. Houston
2. Drew Brees – Vikes want revenge, but secondary is a question mark.
3. Aaron Rodgers – The start of what could be a MVP season.
4. Jay Cutler – Had 6 TDs to 0 INTs against Detroit last year.
5. Philip Rivers – 292.5 ypg, 5 TDs, 0 INTs vs. Chiefs last year.
6. Tom Brady – No run game means tons of passes.

14. Donovan McNabb – Ankle is sore, but has 26 TDs to 13 INTs vs. Dallas.
15. Derek Anderson – St. Louis good way to start DA’s resurrection.
16. Kyle Orton – Jags ranked 27th in passing yards and 26th in TDs.
17. Joe Flacco – Revis signed, but could be rusty.
18. Matt Ryan – Should have hands full against Pittsburgh.

21. Matt Cassel – Could be higher if Chargers can’t mount a pass rush.
22. Josh Freeman – Injury concerns are high.

WARNING: BIGGER MEMORY CARD NEEDED!

After what seems like a lifetime, I finally had time last weekend to get out with 200 pounds of corn and a few bottles of the Monster Raxx Whitetail Magnet to see what kind of deer, or more importantly how many, I have on a new farm to hunt this year. I set out 3 trail cameras in areas I thought could be high traffic into a few established food plots along with the corn and Magnet.

The cameras were out for a total of 6 days. And between the 3, I had over 5,000 pictures. Needless to say I was at a loss for words, and it's still even hard for me to believe myself. I have tried every mineral, every attractant, every "must have" that you can buy. I always thought I had good results. This weekend I learned the difference between "good results" and GREAT results! The deer simply could not leave the Whitetail Magnet alone. The same deer would stay for 30 to 45 minutes with their nose buried in the corn, only to come up and lick their lips clean before diving back in. Doe would run other doe away from the pile, I was getting pictures of the same bucks coming in even at high noon, only to return at 1:30, 4:30, and all hours of the night. The Whitetails on that farm definitely have a new addiction!!!

In all my years of hunting and trying products, I have never witnessed the results that I am seeing with Monster Raxx. Now, I have to sit down and sift through 5,000+ pictures and weed out the doe from the bucks to establish a brand new Hit List!
