Here it is, 4th of July weekend. I’ve got less than 19 weeks until the Rifle Opener here in KY. I am starting to make a list of what needs to be done. First off, the time to establish a new salt lick for the year is probably over. I know a lot of guys … Continue reading
Back in 2013, Angus was enjoying his last deer season as a Yute. I had him positioned with his older brother, Moose in a ground blind at Lazy Boy. He was too big for the buddy stand anymore.

I once left my release at home. Luckily I had a shooting tab in the case. I’ve left the black powder at home before the ML Opener. Luckily I had a spare pound at the farm. I’ve left ammo at home, but I had a spare rifle handy. I’ve left my safety harness home a … Continue reading
One story that got lost in the rush of deer season is the tale of how I turned my buddy, O.T., into a gunsmith. Now that things are starting to wind down for me, I thought I would let you all hear it. One morning, I was out with my Winchester Model 670. Everyone remembers … Continue reading
