Deer Hunting
My best hunting tips for getting bucks
Here’s a good read. A lot of KY deer hunters chimed in. From Kentuckyhunting.net sixxfan26 8 Pointer Join Date: Oct 2004 Location: Butler, Kentucky, USA. Posts: 653 Â Best Tip From Those Who Kill Bucks Consistently OK. Here’s a question from a frustrated guy who’s hunted several years without consistent success, for all of you guys that seem to have the best luck, year in and year out: If you could give your best tip or tips for how you locate & harvest a big buck every year (or at least consistently), what would that tip be? And I mean … More . . .
The End of the Season
Activity at the farm was very light this past weekend. There was one flurry of shots right at sunrise on Sunday– about 5 in less than a minute. Then KY Modern Weapons season ended with rain moving in late in the afternoon and settling in to a steady pour-down that lasted all through the Ohio Opener on Monday. We’ll go back this coming weekend and finish pulling out for the Winter. I was left with one treat. Mind you that I had given up all pretense of hunting by Weekend #3. I was just out sipping my coffee at the … More . . .
Eye Candy
It ain’t exactly time to tell Marty Stouffer to move over but. . . If you followed the thread on Not-Hunting earlier in the week, you’ll know that I decided to relieve my post-BIG ONE angst by buying a new camera body so that I could at least go out and shoot some good deer and turkey photos. The new body is a Canon EOS Rebel XTI and it fits all my 20 year old lenses. Moose just got his temporary drivers license, so we took off on Thanksgiving morning for a road trip. Along the way Moose and I … More . . .
The Sport of Not-Hunting for Deer
I would like to discuss with you the sport of not-hunting. I do not mean not hunting, as in staying on the couch and watching football. I mean actively not-hunting. I know– my head is spinning too. However, if I explain a little more you probably will know what I mean. You may already have done it. It first occurred to me a year ago that there might be a separate sport besides hunting involved in what I was doing. Many have experienced the moment of ultimate letdown one gets when the season ends with unused tags still in your … More . . .
Do you gut in place or what?
I see a huge turnaround in the forums from back just a few years ago when this subject was discussed. Back then, nearly everybody who responded gutted where they fell. I was nearly the only one who would transport the whole deer back to camp for gutting. I did not want to disturb the deer any more than necessary. It was easy. I’d call for the truck to pick me up, load the deer on the shelf on the back and run it back. Often times we would have it hung up at camp within a half hour of the … More . . .
The Savage Speaks Again
10 November, 2007 (Opening Day in Kentucky) 1600 EST It’s getting on past 4 PM. I just sent the rest of the family off. KYHillChick and Moose are heading back to the campground, Angus and Junior are on their way to the Jagendehutte. I’m staying at camp. I’m spent, but it’s a wonderful day out. The leaves are still on the trees—close to a month behind where they should be. It’s the sort of day you pray to God for Opening Day. My hunt is probably done for the year. I still have one tag, but I do not think … More . . .
Rifle Rest on a Treestand
Having trouble getting a steady rest off your treestand? Get yourself a shovel handle, broomstick, PVC pipe or whatever. Drill a hole through the top and put some cord through the end. Hang it from a nail or screw-in step on the tree so you have it stored between hunts. Wrap something like parachute cord, rawhide, or duct tape on it so that won’t mar your rifle in the most likely height you’ll be shooting from. Fit the bottom end with a dowel, a tape-wrapped lag screw etc. so that it won’t go through the bottom of your stand. Use … More . . .
Moose’s Last Yute Hunt
Mooseboy officically became just “The Moose” after bagging a button buck Saturday morning, closing out his career as a yute hunter. Next year, he’ll be hunting by himself on an adult tag. Let me tell you that it happened none too soon, either. This guy has grown!!! It was a hard squeeze for both of us in the buddy stand. My Timex Hunting Timer wristwatch said that a minor hunting peak was due at 0850. We counted down the seconds, and as soon as we hit zero, we heard a rustling in the bushes. Nothing came of it, so Moose … More . . .
They Grow Up So Fast — Sigh!

Blue Tongue Comes to the County
I’d hunted over 20 years and never heard of Blue Tongue. There was a touch of it a couple of counties over back in 2002; we heard about it when I took #2 son to Hunter Ed. It sounded icky. We were told if we saw an emaciated or dead deer to call the wildlife officer. This year rumors of Blue Tongue in Kentucky started cropping up back in August, but they were all coming from the western part of the state. Then the stories started getting worse and then this past week I read of a guy finding 15 … More . . .
The Secret of Scent-Free Suits
Suit says clothes don’t pass smell test I saw this over at KentuckyHunting.net . Frankly, I was wondering when this was going to happen. You know, on the other hand, I used to have this shady friend named Crazy Pete. Pete was always just on the edge. Pete had this gimmick for getting women. He advertised in the Cincinnati Enquirer: “Nursing Assistants Needed. Entry level. No experience necessary. Will train.” He had a bazillion responses from eager women. The ugly ones he sloughed off. The cute ones got his special charms. Frequently, the applicants were mad that Pete really didn’t … More . . .
What’s up with this?
The other day Mom and I were talking on the phone. She heard the car alarm go off in the garage, and told me she’d call me back. She called back later with a fantastic story. It seems that when she got out to the garage, there was a doe and her fawn in the driveway, looking like they had just left the garage. Mom used the remote to stop the horn from honking. About this time, Dad came around from the back yard and spied the deer. He tried to shoo them by yelling and throwing a plastic jug … More . . .
