Moose and Angus invited all their friends out for a weekend of camping and shooting. I mostly stayed up at the house watching the weather. We had on-and-off thunderstorms– just enough to make it interesting. Views: 7 Related posts: No related posts.
Continue reading →I had Mooselette out on Sunday. She took her turkey calls with her, and we went out to the old farmstead. We call it “The Hand,” because on the original aerial photo, it looked like a thumb and five fingers. It’s now a little copse of trees, but at one … Continue reading →
I was eating my lunch and looked out the window. Look at it for a while. Let me know when you see it. PS: Don’t tell KYHillChick or she won’t go in the back yard for a month. What is it? It’s a Black Rat Snake. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantherophis_obsoletus That’s … Continue reading →
The season is over. I never got a chance to go out. The turkeys, however, were not quite done with me yet. Along about 1700, I heard a gobble. I looked out in the field in front of Faulty Towers and saw a gobbler working over some hens. The show … Continue reading →
It’s over. Frankly, I was not paying attention last evening as the sun went down. I was home watching NetFlix. KY’s Spring Gobbler Season ended. For me, it ended before it began. It is the first time since 1986 that I have not hunted. I really wish this COVID-19 thing … Continue reading →
The Thunderstorms are due back after Noon. I’ll be beating it back to town shortly, having concluded a very productive trip to the farm, and one of the best days I’ve ever had. I’ll give you some highlights. As soon as we heard they were relaxing the quarantine, The Shamanic … Continue reading →
 Being trapped at home in Covid-19 purgatory gets a mind to thinking. I’ve had a real dearth of reloading projects. I have two major windows for reloading each year; they are between my two main hunting seasons. By 1 March, I have a backlog of projects that are done and … Continue reading →
With the Covid-19 plague keeping the Shamanic Dream Team sidelined, I decided to do something to get my mind occupied. There was a back-burner project that seemed appropriate for the situation. One never knows how far things are going to slip before the “S” hits the “F.” From my writing, … Continue reading →
As I write this, I can hear Angus in the shower. He was called into work this morning. He would have missed the Opener anyway. Last night was his birthday. He also celebrated 5 years working in a sheet metal shop. I suppose it was good news that he is … Continue reading →
Good Morning, y’all. Ever have one of those nights where you wake up in the morning and check yourself out first thing, making sure you’re in one piece? Last night, after 2200, the cellphone went off with a tornado warning. As soon as that finished, the sirens started up. Shortly … Continue reading →
This should have been a triumphant announcement. Mooselette had shot her first gobbler. However, a worldwide pandemic interfered. It was just not to be. Okay, I can live with that. I went out alone this AM with the umbrella mic, ready to record some more stuff– hopefully enough for another … Continue reading →
I came in this morning from recording material for a podcast, and I had this surprise waiting for me on the KDFWR website​​: Non-Resident Spring Turkey Permit Sales Suspended Effective immediately, standard nonresident spring turkey permits for 2020 will no longer be sold in order to conform to Gov. Andy … Continue reading →
Here’s a link to the 3/28 KY Afield show. It’s a Q&A about the upcoming turkey season. The good news is that nobody is anticipating a closure due to Coronavirus.
