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!

#shorts since the shorts video are only 60 seconds I thought I'd let all of you Ravin crossbow owners know that I found an unusual solution to MY PARTICULAR Ravin R20 throwing random fliers! Now in this short I can't provide the solution that worked for me, because I'd like to lay out the whole story and sage, BUT IF YOU ARE DESPERATE and my solution might work for you, you can email me immediately at kapper@kapperoutdoors.com and I will let you know what worked for my particular situation for my Ravin R20. I took it in to a certified archery shop that serviced Ravin crossbows, and they went over it and we shot it, and they could not come up with a solution. But with the help of a mechanically blessed friend of mine, you won't believe what cured the problem! Stay tuned and subscribe to the channel as I'll be working on that full story video that should be coming out soon! Thank you and best of luck to all of you Ravin crossbow deer hunters! #ravin #ravincrossbows #kapperoutdoors #crossbowhunting #ravinr20 If you missed my Ravin R10 shooting and review from last year, when I put 3 bolts touching each other at 80 yards here is that video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncC81l-vqyM&t=612s Stay tuned to the channel and subscribe to see more testing episodes of my Ravin R20 because at this moment I am not fully satisfied with it. But I think I know the problem with the 'drifting' shots, some of the fletchings are damaged from sinking in the targets, which would account for that. But the 100 yard thing I want to work on some more. Thanks for watching, as always please Like and share this video if you enjoyed it we really appreciate that!

The proof is in the pudding! OK, well how about the proof is in the new micro food plot and deer watering hole! This kind of success does not happen by accident! Join us for a great follow up video segment as we re-visit an 80 acre Southern Illinois land management/land improvement project for some follow ups to see if the new micro plot food plot worked, to see if the new deer watering hole/Wildlife pond worked, and if the overall strategy of the new trail system and land strategic land clearing slash pile location has paid off in such a short time! What a great success we will share with you today! And keep in mind if you own hunting land in Southern Illinios, or if you are buying hunting land in Southern Illinois, that we can really help you to improve that property in a short time period! You can contact us at email: kapper@kapperoutdoors.com if you might be interested! Now let's delve into this Southern Illinois 80 acre land improvement project and see some REAL RESULTS in near live time! So this land improvement project consisted of making a new parking area with a small clearing, cutting new roads and new UTV trails to access the property, clearing a new micro plot food plot clearing, to add to the property owners existing micro plot clearing, adding a new deer watering hole/deer watering pond/wildlife pond, planting the newly cleared micro food plot, and cutting a new access road wider so that the property owner can get a pickup truck and trailer back in to the now TWO food plots on his property! Needless to say, this land management/land improvement project was a HUGE success! And now let's take a look at the evidence! Thanks for joining us and we hope you'll subscribe to the channel to follow all kinds of cool land management and video projects like this, as well as our vrbo rustic cabin in the woods building projects, land management projects, food plots, wildlife habitat improvements, rustic DIY antique picking, barn picking, rustic diy red cedar and barn wood furniture projects, skid steer projects, tractor projects, land investing, land flipping, land improvements, property improvements and of course a lot of fun along the way! Thank you, hope to see you on the next full length video! This land management and land improvement project has proven to be a huge success! #kapperoutdoors #buildingpond #pond #pondbuild #bobcat #miniexcavator #compacttractor #deerhunting #huntingland #landimprovement #improvingyourland

6 years or so now and I have never experienced this particular ground condition with my bobcat e42 r2 series mini excavator! And it got me in the wrong mood for that day! But as usual we keep things real here, so instead of burying this footage I will share it with you as things are not always hunky dory! LOL. In today's mission I'll be using my bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator to expand an ATV path/logging road into a full size a new road through the woods, so that the client, Mark can get a pick up truck and trailer back to his food plots. This property was a multi pronged land improvement project, here are some links to the same property mini series: DEEP WOODS POND SITE PREP WITH EXCAVATOR: https://youtu.be/23uA9BtVJPg BUILDING WILDLIFE POND PART 1 OF 2: https://youtu.be/gxc8yQClNco BUILDING WILDLIFE POND PART 2 OF 2: https://youtu.be/NSkNTuiy3Lg CLEARING A NEW MICRO FOOD PLOT: https://youtu.be/rnLBAHB7ILc I'll be using my bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator with the hydraulic angle blade to clear some big trees that are basically cemented in due to the severe drought we had 6 weeks prior to this project day.

His first ever self filmed archery buck! Join us for this #shortsvideo of Wags, from Vermont (where bucks don't get to grow very big) archery hunting our Southern Illinois farm! And he managed to capture some great footage of the entire hunt and compound bow archery shot that was spot on! Hope you subscribe and stay tuned for the full Illinois archery hunting video, that will be coming out soon! I was hoping that he would get the experience of seeing several bucks and maybe getting a crack at one that would be his biggest buck, because where he has been hunting for decades has not produced many nice bucks at all due to a lot more hunting pressure.

When I got into land management I never really considered 'pond management' and all of it's potential! Well today that is going to change! Join us for today's episode as we are continually working on improving our Southern Illinois farm for wildlife habitat, natural enjoyment, exploring and much more. But this is taking it all to the next level for pond improvement & pond management. In today's episode we'll be installing a pond aerator that will support 2 different ponds, and each pond will have 2 air diffusers, since they are each about 1.5 acre ponds. We will also install a fish feeder as well, and hit the ponds with pond dye and another chemical that improves the pond wellness and reduces pond sediment. We hired J.R. Hoffman Ponds for this project and I did all of the wire and air line trenching myself with my bobcat e42 r2 series mini excavator with a one foot bucket. Jeff travels all over the Midwest and country for pond projects such as this, so if you have a pond, or will be digging a pond, he is your guy for pond improvements and overall maintenance. After all of this initial stuff is done, then it will only need maybe semi annual treatments to keep on top of the weeds. Here is Jeff's contact information: J.R. Hoffman Ponds; (309) 657-7258, email; jrhoffmanponds@gmail.com Here is a link to Jeff's tiktok channel where he documents a lot of his pond management projects: https://www.tiktok.com/@jeffhoffman04/video/7145239239700024622?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7142547150979122731 If you contact him be sure to let him know you saw him on Kapper Outdoors! My personal life dream is to catch a 6lb bass or bigger on my very own pond in our back yard! Since my health is deteriorating and I don't travel much, I am literally bringing some outdoor fun right here to me, so that as I get older I can still enjoy it as it won't require travel, boats, strange lakes and so forth.

#shortsvideo Join us for our next big pond building project to see if we bit off more than we can chew on this project! We will document this entire pond build project with a playlist very soon. This is the next pond build project that we are working on with my buddy Phil and I with my bobcat equipment, a bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator and a bobcat T650 CTL skid steer. This size pond will take MANY TONS of good dirt, good clay, and the removal of the dirt and tree roots that are not good to seal up a new pond dam! So far we've had several days on this new pond build project that is located on our Southern Illinois farm, just outside of our ongoing VRBO rustic cabin in the woods building project! Here is that playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEF-9OZ97VY&list=PLBsh6BAME40AGnzu57Elnvaa-kwb-Wx1D So the mission today was to 'save money' on our cabin build project by me doing the excavation work, and allowing the builder to use my machines in order to save cost. So, once I started editing today's project I realized just how much of a pain it was clearing that 30 to 40 foot stretch of an old excavation bury pit, which took quite some time to break some of this stuff loose! So, I decided to make an 'episode one' if you will since it was interesting and entertaining getting past this old burial pit from who knows how many years ago. Of course I was successful and endured, and went on to finish this project over the course of that weekend, so definitely stay tuned and subscribe to the channel to catch that full project video, coming out soon.

In today's episode I'll be working with our plumber to trench a 300' ditch for the underground water line installation, and then install frost free hydrants (2) in two separate locations for specific reasons. Here is the last episode of this project, which was actually the beginning of this day, that DID NOT START VERY WELL: https://youtu.be/lBRYXXKZlHA Today I'll be using my bobcat e42 r2 series mini excavator with a 2 foot digging bucket to tackle this water line trenching project. We are working on our Southern Illinois future vrbo/airbnb rustic cabin in the woods building project. Of course this will be another new life adventure for us, as we've never had or rented anything like an airbnb or vrbo cabin rental.

#shorts The full project will be posted today! Hope you consider subscribing to catch this full project video of our rustic cabin in the woods building project as today's episode will be trenching and installing 300' of buried water line, and then 2 additional frost free hydrants. This is at our Southern Illinois building site, where we are building a rustic cabin in the woods for a future vrbo rental cabin. Today I will be using my bobcat e42 r2 series mini excavator to trench the water lines for both the main city water line to the rustic cabin and also the 2 additional trenches for the frost free hydrant installations. #shorts #shortsvideo #kapperoutdoors #kappervlog #miniexcavator #bobcat #bobcatexcavator

Maybe I should have just called it in for that day! Join me in the cab of the Bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator as I work on trenching a 300' water line with our plumber on our rustic cabin build project on our Southern Illinois farm. It was a beautiful Saturday morning, with crisp, fresh air and some sunshine, not bad at all for an October weekend. So the mission today was to 'save money' on our cabin build project by me doing the excavation work, and allowing the builder to use my machines in order to save cost. So, once I started editing today's project I realized just how much of a pain it was clearing that 30 to 40 foot stretch of an old excavation bury pit, which took quite some time to break some of this stuff loose! So, I decided to make an 'episode one' if you will since it was interesting and entertaining getting past this old burial pit from who knows how many years ago. Of course I was successful and endured, and went on to finish this project over the course of that weekend, so definitely stay tuned and subscribe to the channel to catch that full project video, coming out soon. If you are new to the channel be sure to check out our last few videos, as they were quite exciting and educational!

#shortsvideo of a project day improving the future bass & catfish fishing on our Southern Illinois ponds. Jeff Hoffman, from J.R. Hoffman Ponds, came out and we installed a pond aerator with 4 diffusers, 2 in each of our ponds, we trenched and buried the weighted air lines, and installed a fish feeder that is on a timer and Jeff also added some dye & bacterial additive to reduce the weeds and sediment that have been taking over the ponds the last couple of years. Stay tuned to Kapper Outdoors to see the full day's project video coming out soon! Thank you. #kapperoutdoors #kappervlog #bass #bassfishing #pond #pondfishing #pondaerator

Sharon here. I take my metal detector out in the back field that has been freshly worked up for a food plot. Perfect time to see what I can find. As this was an old homesite and wagon trail many years ago, each year I find more evidence of an old homesite, wagon and farm equipment and ceramic and glazed pottery pieces. Today I pull out a 5 foot solid copper grounding wire. My biggest find yet! More proof of a tall building. Like what you see?

Happy Friday night, before the early rut starts to kick in here in Southern Illinois. Check out this cool 6 point buck from last year, who was very visible as I believe we are right in his core area! I'm 99% sure this is him from this year, and 8 point buck, and a pretty decent one at that! Best of luck to all of you deer hunters this coming week in November! #kapperoutdoors #kappervlog #deervlog #deerhunting #illinoisdeer

The consensus from our group was that if he'd have tried one more run he'd have made it, but there was also a serious tipping hazard coming out of that crossing!
