It must be some sort of syndrome

Getting Down From Your Stand
From Nubs on Deer and Deer Hunting Here is my question: The day has come to a close and it is time to get down from your stand but wait, there is just one problem. There are a few deer feeding out in the field that you have been watching all night. You know that if get down you might get busted, tipping off the deer to your presence and blowing your stand location. What do you do in this situation? I have tried using my easy weeze to sound like an alarmed deer to clear the field before I … More . . .
The last bunch of UV-Killer Tests
UPDATED TESTS The purpose of this report is to document additional tests I made on the UV-Killer product samples sent to me by Dan Gutting of Atsko, Inc. Let me repeat at the outset that I was on the record as highly skeptical of not only the claims of Atsko regarding this product. In fact the reason for this test grew out of a weblog entry I made on 9/22/2008 on Genesis 9:2-4 Ministries. Dan took umbrage with my assertions, and a conversation ensued. If you follow the link, and click on the comments, you can see what has transpired. … More . . .
Advice to College Student
From D&DH Forum: Advice to College Student My advice is on finding the time to hunt. Make the time. Hunters don’t usually talk about this subject. However, I took up hunting 20-some years ago, because I needed to retire from caving. Cavers always talked about whimping out. I guess you really had to screw yourself up hard to get down the hole. I never had a problem, but I know other folks did. There was a whole lot of attrition among cavers. I stayed in it for 5 years– not the shortest stint, but not the longest. There are going … More . . .
How to not get frustrated
From Deer & Deer Hunting Forum auman New Member Posts: 6 Joined: 9/28/2008 It seems the more I hunt, the less I see. Being in ‘bama the rut is still a couple of weeks away. It should be heating up shortly. I just have it in the back of my mind: ” Here we go, another wasted season.” Don’t give me all that got to be positive crap. I’ve tried it before and it doesn’t work. Gonna have to try some off the wall tactics I guess. What have you done when all else seems to have failed? Don’t worry … More . . .

Bienvenu Y’all!
I was digging through my site statistics this morning, and I found an interesting URL. Somebody at D-Day-Overlord.com had referenced a pic of the Mooseboy, his Garand and a doe: I got on the site: DDay-Overlord.com. . . and read what they all were saying about us. Some folks had a real problem with the idea of hunting deer with a Garand. However, I decided to sign on to the forum and post a response. I think the story of the Garand and Mooseboy’s namesake makes the endeavor worthwhile. Greetings from Cincinnati, Ohio.My name is William Allendorf, my son is … More . . .
The shaman in Print — D&DH
Somebody at the D&DH Forum was carping at me today about a long winded answer to a fairly simple question– the one in the previous blog entry this morning. Somebody else replied: 69Viking Super Member Posts: 134 Joined: 10/1/2008 From: Fort Walton Beach, FL I agree with Dmcianfa, I stopped reading Shaman’s book about halfway through. He does get some of his posts in the DDH Magazine so maybe that’s what he’s shooting for with the long posts. Now Dmcianfa, did you have to quote it so it shows up again!?!? What? I’m in the magazine? I went and grabbed … More . . .
Saturday Openers
I’m very much in favor of the Saturday Openers. It makes sense after a state begins to allow Sunday hunting. I saw a similar argument over the KY Turkey Seasons going on over at another forum– KY used to start just any-old-day of the week, and it’s now been moved to a Saturday. A Saturday Opener affords a suburbanite like me an extra couple days of hunting. I can see in the past, with herds and flocks the way they were 20 years ago, you might want to give the locals a chance. However, most states in my region are … More . . .
Is Bow or Rifle your Favorite?
Over at Deer and Deer Hunting they were looking for a quick show of hands over which folks enjoyed Bow or Rifle the most. Overwhelmingly, folks picked bow for a variety of reasons.Here’s my answer: Okay, I’ll go against the flow here and say modern centerfire rifle season. Mind you, up until 2007, I was a dedicated bowhunter for all of 24 seasons. I have crawled on my knees to get out to my stand after surgery. I have gone bow hunting during snow emergencies. Also, I am not trying to disparage bow or any other hunting pursuit. If my … More . . .
Harvesting Standards
From: Grizzly Gary’s Forum hunterdeneugene Charter Captain Joined: 23 Mar 2006 Posts: 2525 Location: some field, woods or Great Lakes trib somewher I’m going to play the devil’s advocate here…..I’m not going to put this in other threads. I hunt alot and have a desire to fill my freezer with meat as most people do, but I set myself to certain standards. I hate going to the processor and seeing those little deer laying there, and seeing a button buck really bugs me. I have taught my son how to judge a yearling deer and he has never killed one … More . . .
Season is Over
It’s over. At least for me. I’m not elated. I’m not sad. I hunted a lot more days this year, and a lot more deer in my scope. I got out late yesterday afternoon. Things just did not go smoothly. I left the house late, I got to camp late. I had trouble finding my gear. I had brought down a couple of extra deer guns, and I was having trouble choosing. I finally grabbed the Whelenizer, figuring there was no reason not to. It was colder than usual. It was windier than usual. I thought about just staying by … More . . .
Briar Engineering and the Win 670
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 the Model 70, but the 670 is a very popular variant that was sold in places like K-Mart. Mine probably came from the early 70’s. It was their value-priced model: matte finish, hardwood stock, plain bolt. However, it was a fairly handsome rifle from afar. … More . . .
