Everything land, outdoors & property!

We stocked our Southern Illinois farm pond with 8" channel catfish in 2017, but we've had several otters spend winter time there and we lost a lot of fish to the otters. We also had a bad winter freeze one year while the pond levels were low. We've been trying to catch a channel catfish for the last several years but to no avail.. Until today that is! Join me on our Southern Illininois farm pond as I finally latch on to a very BIG fish! I've been bass fishing our farm pond all summer and taking dozens of hours of GoPro video footage only to catch a bunch of small largemouth bass. But today that will finally change! It was a beautiful, sunny and quiet evening on our Southern Illinois farm so I decided to do some bass fishing. But tonight I tied on a large Rapala bait so as to try to reduced the 'dinker bass' from biting it. And the plan worked as I was rewarded with a monster size channel catfish! Also I got a few decent bass as well, but the experience was awesome, and I am glad that I could share it with all of you! So join us as the fishing action results the 6 year old question as to whether or not we have big channel cats on our farm pond!

Back at Kapper Outdoors Project 291! The first blast of planting fall food plots with @curtisrogers6738 and myself on Labor Day weekend! The FULL video is posted over at Kapper Outdoors 2.0: https://youtu.be/GmiMHjbqDa8 #kapperoutdoors #kapperoutdoors2 #kapperoutdoorsproject291 #fallfoodplots #foodplots #foodplotsfordeer

Yep, it's been several months since the vrbo rustic cabin in the woods has even seen a human being.. So I thought for Christmas we'd bring you a very brief update to see where the progress is (or is NOT) at. Oh and the wildlife sure seem to like checking in on the status of the cabin build, but even they are not very impressed! Merry Christmas everyone, and may we all have a better New Year! Take care!

Our first video post since our channel was taken over, hacked, and then demonetized! Needless to say it has been a rough 2 weeks, but true to form on a Friday afternoon I'll get you out of the office or out of the house for a few minutes for some vicarious fresh air and scenery as I try out my new DJI Mini 3 pro drone for the very first time. I upgraded from my DJI phantom 4 pro to this new Mini 3 pro for a few reasons. But the most important reason is that the new Mini 3 pro is much smaller, so that I can carry it in our machines which have very limited space, which in turn should allow us to use it more for capturing cool drone videos. And secondly this Mini 3 pro has 'true vertical video,' and as far as I am aware is the first semi affordable drone to come out with this. You'll see in this video what true vertical video is, but basically the Mini 3 pro can now turn the camera straight UP and capture video from below the point of interest! This should have some very unique possibilities for our property and client propeties that we might work in since we are in steep bluff country, with lots of hills and steep ridges, and of course we are in the middle of the Shawnee National forest down here in Southern Illinois.

Join me today in the deer blind, November, 2022 on our Southern Illinois farm, as I was blessed to see 2 really nice Illinois bucks, either of which I could have harvested on film! Filming deer hunting is no easy task! Let's see if I can take my finger off of the trigger of my Ravin R20 crossbow at the moment of truth, and pass up an excellent deer hunting video opportunity, or will I cave in to the video deer hunting video opportunity..

What a beautiful new 20 acre remote wooded property located in Southern Illinois along the borders of the Shawnee National forest! Join us for today's episode which will be episode #1 of this newly created 20 acre property. In today's Episode #1 we will begin work on cutting a new road through the overgrown jungle on this 20 acre property, and then once we reach the new clearing site, we will being on the roughly one acre land clearing project to create a new clearing in the woods for the new property owner to use with a camper and enjoy the beauty and remoteness of this beautiful Southern Illinois property. This property joins the Shawnee National forest here in Southern Illinois and is very remote and quiet. Join us today as me and my friend Curtis Rogers, from Midwest Farm & Land company begin to tackle this new land clearing project. I will be using my 2022 Bobcat e42 R2 mini excavator and Curtis will be renting a Yanmar VIO 50 hp mini excavator to double team the large task of clearing the land of all of the trees, and more importantly the tree stumps so the new land owner has a nice and new clearing to start a new future one. This is a beautiful property nestled amongst the thousands of acres of the Shawnee National forest, and with our help, we can make this very remote and overgrown property a very enjoyable 20 acre rustic private property. In today's episode we will begin with the 2 excavator on clearing a new road in to the property and then begin on the new 1 acre clearing so that the new landowner can use the new property with a truck, trailer or camper. We will definitely get some feedback on how the land owner has been using the property with great success so stay tuned to the channel for that final outcome. Also stay tuned for the rest of this mini series of how we help landowners improve their very remote properties so that they can use them with a camper, a tent, a new homesite or ATV/UTV machines.

I offered to help her with the excavator! But Sharon at Kapper Outdoors is a very strong woman, and very independent!! Join us for a 2022 Thanksgiving day vlog from the hardwoods of our Southern Illinois farm, nestled amongst tens of thousands of acres of the Shawnee National Forest, as Sharon has a mission on her mind, and she is tenacious! When she told me about the mission she was planning for part of today, I asked her to try out the new winch on her 2022 Polaris Ranger XP1000 Northstar, which is a rear winch, set up high on a steel frame, mainly intended for winching up deer and other heavy items into the bed of the Polaris Ranger. So, she did try my advice, however, as you will see it did not work out too well! Of course she is a very resourceful country girl and she figured it out her own way! Funny thing, here is an excerpt from one of our first Polaris Ranger Northstar videos about Sharon: 'We know she loves to bring home all kinds of stumps and trees and whatnot from the woods!..'

RE planting fall food plots for deer on October 24th, 2002! Will this work? In today's land management and deer habitat improvement episode we'll chronicle a severe drought down here in Southern Illinois late summer/early fall, 2022. I planted all of my fall food plots on or about Sept 3rd, 2022. We have a 150 acre farm and my fall food plot plantings are absolutely critical to success for deer hunting seasons. This year we had a severe drought, that began just days after planting all of our Southern Illinois fall food plots in early September. In todays land management episode we'll chronicle the whole process of re planting virtually all of my fall food plots for deer on our Southern Illinois hunting land. Join us for the chronological history of replanting my food plots and then the critical follow up reports up to November 22, 2022 to see if the 're investment' of another food plot planting worked! .

A made in USA Veteran owned company is in the spotlight in todays 2022 Food plots for deer review. Join us here at Kapper Outdoors for the soil preparation, planting and follow up 2022 food plots for deer review, as we planted several different varieties and food plot mixes from Whitetail Food Plots USA, which is a Veteran owned company and a fantastic success story! First of all here is the link to the website where you can order any of these proven food plot mixes: http://whitetailfoodplotsusa.co/ They can also be found at almost 100 Tractor Supply stores across the country, and they are continuing to expand every day. I have had several conversations with the owner, Paul C, and based on those conversations it was abundantly clear that Paul was a regular guy with a big vision, and thinking outside the box with his ideas was what has propelled his success thus far! Last year Paul sent us some different food plots for deer food plot seed blends. I then went through the normal process of weed control, food plot soil preparations and planting and in today's episode I will bring you the results not only from the first season of planting them (2021), but a near live update on the 2nd year, with some deer hunting video from Nov 20, 2022 as the deer are still being drawn to this food plot mix!

This time I am tackling an abandoned collapsing block house and adjoining garage. This is day 1 of removing tons of debris and garbage from the garage area. With most of the scrap metal removed for recycling it's time to move in with the Bobcat. A large widow-maker tree needs to go and the Bobcat makes short work of it. Stay tuned as I finish the garage then tackle the cinder block home and surrounding area. Let's hope I can get this done quick before Sharon wants to bring a bunch of "treasures" back to our farm!

Sharon here! Here's a quick update on one of my many rustic DIY showcase furniture pieces that will be part of the vacation rental vrbo cabin. From harvesting the trees on our Southern Illinois woodland to custom finishing and attaching naturally curved sassafras logs to create a visual masterpiece, I show you my attempt at making a unique rustic piece that will add to the organic, natural and peaceful vibes of the cabin. Stick around for the bonus cli! What is that hanging from the ceiling? Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more projects and progress on the vacation rental.

Congrats on this beautiful Illinois buck Wags! His First ever self filmed deer hunt and he hit a home run on it! Join us for the hunting action from our Southern Illinois farm, Mid November 2022. My son Alan and his buddy Justin, aka 'Wags,' took a road trip down to our Southern Illinois hunting land and farm all the way from Vermont. Wags has been hunting his entire life in Vermont, and needless to say the bucks don't get very big in Vermont due to a bunch of different reasons, not the least of which might be abundant food sources, or poor genetics, or over hunting, but whatever the reasons, bow hunting in Southern Illinois is such a treat for these 2 guys! Join us for this excellent self filmed archery buck video and if you enjoyed it please give Wags a thumbs up, and consider following us on the channel! We have been working on wildlife habitat improvements on our Illinois hunting land for the last 6 years now. This buck harvest was on a fall food plot, that was supposed to be a brassica food plot, but due to severe drought, it ended up being mostly a winter wheat plot. But it was very successful for this self filmed bow hunt 2022! Thanks for joining us!

Have you ever thought of trying to video your own deer hunts? Well, today's self recorded Southern Illinois crossbow hunting adventure was one of those epic hunts, but also an epic video recording failure of capturing the moment of truth! Join me for a really epic Southern Illinois deer hunting adventure as I do an HD remake of one of my best deer hunts ever from our Illinois farm. There were 3 shooter bucks in the field at the same time, and I was able to harvest one of them, a dominant buck, a 6.5 year old warrior buck with my Ravin R20 crossbow. Of course I had the camera rolling, and then at the moment of truth, things wend a little sideways! This seems to be pretty standard for me as I have been working on video recording big buck hunts and big buck harvests for nearly 20 years now, and it always seems like the biggest trophy bucks somehow find a way to wreck great intentions on trying to self record the hunting action as well as the actual shot on the buck! Anyway I thought some of you deer hunters might enjoy some great deer hunting action, as well as keeping it real with documenting my own failures, along with the success'!

WOW! Now this is a blast from the past, but since it is Veteran's Day here in the United States of America I am posted this formerly restricted video to thank all of our Armed service and Military personnel who support and defend our freedoms here in the magnificent U S of A!! Now this is some double fisted, American firearms freedom! Of course this was very early on in my YouTube channel and editing, but I always had a great sense of imagination! Let's see if this video gets deleted or flagged! God Bless the USA! And today we are awaiting the 2022 mid term elections! I sure hope that freedom rings once again very soon!

I just sent a scathing email to Ravin crossbows and requested to SEND THIS THING BACK! For the money that we pay for Ravin crossbows, deemed the 'best crossbows in the world,' I think we should GET no fail and reliable accuracy all the time! Of course now it is hunting season, and I simply don't trust my Ravin R20 crossbow so I called my Pro Staffer buddy to see if I can borrow his back up Ravin R9 crossbow to hunt with. But this story begins long before this hunting season! Nearly 2 years ago I decided to upgrade my Ravin R10 with the new R20 (at that time the fastest I believe) for a flatter trajectory, as I lost a huge buck as he managed to duck my Ravin R10 bolt, just enough, so that I never recovered him (yes it was also half my fault for hitting a bit high in combination with his duck). So, my thinking was, the new R20 was like 30 fps faster, which could make all the difference in the world! Join me for this whole adventure and the solution that we uncovered in the process! First of all here are some of my Ravin R10 videos, that I really think you will enjoy for some background on how well I was able to shoot and group with the Ravin R10 at 70 yards, 80 yards and even 100 yards: RAVIN R10 FULL REVIEW RANGE TIME AND MORE: https://youtu.be/ncC81l-vqyM So I got my new Ravin R20 crossbow and sold my R10 to help pay for the new R20. Here is my Ravin R20 original review and shooting video: RAVIN R20 CROSSBOW RANGE TIME & REVIEW AT 70 YARDS & 100 YARDS: https://youtu.be/Np09HJPpnA8 I hope you join us for this full story as it is fun, educational, has some great Ravin crossbow target shooting videos, and most of all, how we found a cure for the errant accuracy issues as my new Ravin R20 was throwing random fliers, when my Ravin R10 did no such thing! Oh, and before I forget here are a couple of mature Southern Illinois buck harvests' with my Ravin crossbows: 2021 BIG ILLINOIS BUCK SELF FILMED WITH MY RAVIN R20 CROSSBOW: https://youtu.be/umlJH9Xmp5o Thanks for joining us today and as always if you enjoyed this video please hit the like button and share it, we would greatly appreciate that!
