The Differences Between Hunting and Target Shooting
I was asked on Quora: https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-key-differences-between-hunting-marksmanship-and-target-shootingHere is my answer: Dorf D’Impaler Writer and Pro-staffer (2001–present)2m Imagine a shooting match where the actual target, a ball, was hidden behind an indistinct piece of shag carpeting. You have to determine the ball’s location from the folds in the carpet. The light is bad. The carpet is moving. You’re cold. The coffee is gone and you’ve got to pee. If you succeed, you get to go home. Before you go, you shake everybody’s hand, and somebody takes a picture. Everyone wants a copy. You get to watch football for the rest of the … More . . .
Gobblers Go Quiet After Flydown
From:Old Gobbler Forum My answer: Years ago, I discovered a disused logging road on the back of the property that had recent tire marks. I decided to hide out near it and see what was going on. The next day, nothing responded to my calls at the roost and I went over to the road and set up. I wasn’t there very long before a sandwich truck came down the track and parked at a little turnout. A little Korean guy got out and started opening up the sides of the truck. It wasn’t long before several flocks of turkeys … More . . .
Can You Re-Use a Scent Wick?
jgaworecki Posts: 3 Joined: 21 Oct 2014, 13:02 Scent Wicks Postby jgaworecki » Today, 15:42 Can you re-use a scent wick? Meaning after you apply say doe in heat to a wick, can you just use that same wick day after day when hunting. Not looking for opinions on this question, but would like supporting technical data as why you can or cannot re-use wicks. Do scents spoil after a period of time exposed to air?

Will AI Replace the Shaman?
I was playing with AI the past few days and I tried feeding ChatGPT a title “Turkey Hunting Tips and Tricks” and letting it write a script. I then fed it to Pictory to build a video and then published it to Youtube. They say Turkey Hunting is the hardest game on the North American Continent. It’s certainly well beyond an AI to tell you how to do it. I did get a chuckle out of the result It took about 30 minutes for it all to happen. I just sat and watched. I also asked ChatGPT: Tell me how … More . . .
The Fernwood Doe
This took place in suburban Fernwood, Ohio. My day job at the plant is about 200 yards from this neighborhood. My buddy at work saw this happen outside his living room window. He reported that the doe must have tripped over a plastic drain pipe. That was the noise he heard just before the floorshow started. This was not due to ice. It had rained, but it was well above freezing. Don’t worry. He found her about ten minutes later munching on his bushes in the back yard, seemingly none the worse. Enjoy.

Who was Big O?
I recently had a conversation online with one of my neighbors, Mike. Mike and I met years ago at the store in Berlin, but we’d lost each other since. He found this weblog the other day and wanted to say hello. We’re close enough that we could probably shout at each other across the holler, but we had to come to the Internet to meet up. That’s the way it is out here. I knew immediately that he was not a local, because his first name did not begin with an ‘O.’ Around here, that is a dead giveaway. He’s … More . . .
O.D. and His Theory of Deer Rifles
Several times I have commented to y’all about all the stupid hunting stuff that I find rolling around in my head. These are just bits of detritus that I have picked up over the years. A good number of them have come from my long-time acquaintance with O.D., the local deer expert. O.D. holds court down at Mister Browning’s store. He is most entertaining; however, there is something about his sincere delivery that makes what he says stick. In the past, I have listened to him go on about how a bout of bad weather drives every deer in the … More . . .
Biscuits and Gravy in Browningsville
We were down at Mister Browning’s store in Browningsville. We heard there were good biscuits and gravy available on Saturday mornings. O.D. was there. O.T. and O.P. showed up as well. One thing you have to remember is that it is important to have a fresh set of turkey hunting duds if you plan on going to Browningsville for breakfast in season. I was tagged out, and Supercore did not want to hunt in the pouring rain. He dressed. I stayed in my civvies and wished I hadn’t. Folks looked at me like I was some kind of heathen. They … More . . .
O.D. and the 2 of 7 Rule
I mentioned the 2 of 7 rule a while back. I’ve had a bunch of people ask me about it. I have to come clean. It is not my idea. It is not original. I cannot even say I fully believe it. However, I know the man who seems to have invented it. That fellow is O.D. I have mentioned O.D. before. He’s related to O.T, my turkey hunting buddy that owns the mower shop. O.D. is one of the regulars at the store in Browningsville and I frequently find myself propping my feet up next to his, drinking the … More . . .
