Remember back in January when I said this would be my year and be Codyak Ranches biggest year yet? WELL. Life’s a hell of a ride, ain’t it? It’s been everything but both of those things I claimed it would be. However, you have to make light of the situation and this recap of those moments shows that. Even when it’s bad, find the good. Find a laugh. Find a way to be happy no matter what. Because that’s life. It happens. The train only stops when you do.

March 9th, 2024. The Great White North.
Keyes Peak Uphill Truck Drags
Florence, WI
For the fourth year in a row, I will be heading north to photo what has become one of my absolute favorite events of the year. Loud exhaust, race fuel, cold beer, hot food and some of the best people around. From the fans, to the drivers, to the people who organize the entire event, and everyone in between. What a crew it always is.
If you're in attendance, be sure to look for me on the hill!
Cody Ranch apparel will be available.

Vacation? Nope. Scouting trip.
Scouting
Finally seeing the late season movement. It’s taken longer than expected, I’m sure the boys were resting but they were out and about tonight. Hate seeing great deer wounded, but all we can do is hope he makes it through the winter.

Hang. Hunt. Harvest.

You got a friend in me.
STRONG LANGUAGE
There’s nothing better than being there when your every day hunting partner harvests his biggest buck ever. I was over the top excited for Frank and seeing Ernie’s reaction made it even better.
This is exactly why I do what I do.
Started the fall season off with a little wedding action! Sneak peeks coming soon!
Editing.
Another service provided here at the ranch.
Whether it be a video I have filmed and am now producing for you, a self filmed hunt that you don’t want to or have time to edit, a memorial, a gift…. Whatever the case may be. Reach out to Codyak Ranch and we will take your vision and bring it to life. Any length, any genre, any footage. It’ll get taken care of and brought to life in a way you’ll want to watch it over and over again.
Email, DM or call to setup an edit with the ranch.
Videography.
From my first ever YouTube video thinking I would be a TV star to now filming other TV stars and short videos for big companies such as Yeti and RMEF. It’s crazy to think how far I’ve come after just starting with a GoPro and a dream.
This service will still be offered by Codyak Media as I mentioned yesterday. Just like photography, the videography comes with it. Short commercials, short films, full length Tv shows or even a movie, I will happily be there capture every moment for you. No job is too big and no job is too small.
Multiple cameras, multiple angles, multiple ways to tell your story.
It truly never gets old. This is an addiction that I’d never claim to be a problem.

A lot of information coming over the next couple of weeks during the move and this big transition. What is Codyak Ranch, what do I offer, where can you find me, and so many more questions will be answered. It is a lot of information as so much has changed on this journey and the chase to make this more than a dream. Keep an eye on your feed all week long to learn more!
Illinois is hard to not fall in love with!
Three years in the making. We finally ended the streak.
The first step when coming home from any filming job. A fresh wash with Deception Scents. It’s even more important when there’s blood involved.
This years Keyes Peak uphill truck drag was a phenomenal race day. The weather cooperated, trucks performed great and everyone had a great time. can't wait to do it again next year!
The time is here y’all! Four months of slinging arrows and splintering carbon! See you on the mountain!
Total Archery Challenge
When someone kills, we all celebrate.
I love my job everyday, but seeing my dads reaction to seeing his first Illinois buck was something special that I’ll never forget. Although we didn’t connect on his first trip here in November, we will be back after it looking for redemption in the late season.

November in Illinois
It’s not everyday you can show up for work and have four phone calls for four different bucks come in. At Bigger Bucks Outfitters, that’s always the goal. One phone call or four, we look forward to them every time one of the hunters heads for a stand.
