Well this past weekend myself, pro-staffer Jeff Burmeister, and special guest for the year Justin Fuchs made our way down to the great state of Iowa.  We spent the weekend trimming out treestands and checking trail cameras, as well as filming the soybean fields on Rut N Strut Acres (Seth's land).  We seen a lot of potential for the next coming years as well as some dandies for both Justin and our taxidermist Heath Hagner, since they both drew the coveted iowa buck tag.

So after a great weekend of fun in Iowa, the Wisconsin bow opener is almost here!!! We are so pumped to get back into the woods and film/hunt some awesome whitetails.  The bows are ready, camo is washed with Seemz, and the bucks have been labeled.  Time to start Whacking and Stacking once again.

Now as for the Frigid Weekly Update, for now the updates will be more sporadic due to leaf growth leveling off and turnip development taking off at a gradual pace.  I hope all of you enjoyed watching our food plots grow.  We will still be posting pictures every now and then of both deer in the plots and turnip size.

The next series of updates..... The next updates that you will be able to follow on Haastyle Hunting.com will be a set of updates that directly coorelate to the movement of deer in the area.  We will be hunting right along side all of you as we tell you what we are seeing for movement up in the north woods.

Well with all of that said....We wish all of you the best of luck and remember to keep coming back to the website to look for further updates.

P.S. REMEMBER THE APPAREL SHOP IS NOW OPEN FOR BUISNESS....GET YOUR HAASTYLE HUNTING T-SHIRTS TODAY!!!
 
 
Well we finally find ourselves near the end of August and I must say that the food plots have definitely turned out GREAT!!! This past weekend I wasnt able to get pictures due to camera problems (Sorry).  However, after putting up my new food plot stand setup up I took a walk through the plot and found my first turnips begin to show up. As of Sunday, August 21st the turnips are already approximately the size of golf balls!!!  This weekend I can not wait to see how much a week has done for their size.  So I PROMISE...this week you will get to see how the turnips are doing as well as overall size of my plot.

As for Seth's "Box Stand Plot", the liquid fertilizer that was applied has finally turned his plot around.  The food plot is beginning to fill in and the turnips/brassicas are beginning to get some good size to them.  With only one more month until our bow season opens up here in Wisconsin, its a good thing that his plants started to explode in growth.

Make sure to come to the site this coming weekend to check out the next installment of the "Frigid Weekly Update".  I will not let all of you down this coming week by not posting pictures of our plots. So stay tuned!!!
 
 
After a good weekend of rain, I couldnt be more excited to show you this weeks "Frigid Weekly Update".  The food plot in front of my gun stand has absolutely EXPLODED!!!  Im starting to wonder if Frigid Forage is using ancient seed from the time of dinosaurs, because the height and leaf size is absolutely mind-blowing.

Seth's "Box Stand Plot" has had a rough start but after finding out that the plants could use some much needed fertilizer, Seth did just that.  Now with the fertilizer on the plants and in the ground the growth has finally kicked up a notch.

Check out the current growth down below.

I would like to take the time to congratulate our 2011 Hunter Safety Class.  All twenty-two students passed with flying colors and we couldnt be more proud of you.  Also thank you to our instructors besides myself (Zach), thanks Seth Gade, Dan Brown, Dan Haas, Doug Bilgo, and Danielle Brown. 

Lastly,  students good luck this upcoming season of hunting.  We wish you the best of luck and hope you all get yourself a nice animal.  We would love to see if you get anything and hear how you enjoyed your first year, so make sure to send us photos and a story of your hunt, regardless of if you shot something or not. 

Once again, CONGRATULATIONS!!!
 
 
Here is the second part to this weeks Frigid Weekly Update.  The reason behind the second posting is the previous post was for the 3rd week of growth of my food plot (Zach Haas) and the first week of growth for Seth Gade's food plot.  Here are pictures from this past weekend showing the one month mark of growth for my Big N Beasty Brassica food plot.  The plot is even starting to smell like a garden and im loving it.  Hopefully that strong aroma will bring in one of the great bucks I watched last year (Krueger, Repeat, Santana, etc.). 
 
 
Sorry for the delay on the "Frigid Weekly Update"...been busy getting ready for the bow season here in Wisconsin.  However, here are the pictures of my food plot after 3 weeks of growth and Seth's "Box Stand Plot" after one week of growth.  The growth we are seeing is awesome and before you know it there will be turnips developing.  Hope the deer have quite an appetite this season. :)
 
 
In the new "Fridgid Weekly Update" we take the time to post pictures of our newly put in food plots at various hunting locations that the Haastyle Crew goes to hunt whitetails.  Starting off the update is my (Zach) personal food plot.  In this one acre food plot I have planted Frigid Forage Big N Beasty Brasssica blend of seed and lets just say that with the rain immediately after planting...I couldnt be happier with the growth. Below are the pictures after one week of growth.  Simply awesome!!!
 
 
The middle of the summer is upon us and bowhunting is getting closer.  The Haastyle Crew has been working their butts off putting in food plots for this fall/winter.  The blend we are currently using is made from Frigid Forage.  The main seed being implemented in our food plots this year is called "Big N Beast Brassicas".  The seed includes brassica, turnip, sugar beets, carrot, and radishes.  We will be posting weekly updates of the sites so you the viewers can see what to expect with the plots for growth and see how great this seed blend works.  Stay tuned for the weekly "Plot Pics" which will be posted right here on my blog page. 

Another big event happening right now is our first annual trail cam photo contest.  We are giving out a lot of great prizes this year and cant wait to see all of your pictures.  Please stop by the Trail Cam Photo Contest page on the website and start sending me your pictures.

Lastly,  we know you have all been waiting for our 2011 promo and it is coming together nicely!!! Cant wait



 
 
Well as the summer comes to us, hunting seasons end.  The crew ended up having a tough turkey season with only half the the tags on the table being filled, but all n all we had a great time with great friends/family and cant wait to do it all over again.  

Now, I would like to take the time to give you all a heads up of what to look forward to in these upcoming months. Click the READ MORE button to see what is to come your way.
