I was sitting in one of those old steel lawn chairs, that kind of acts like a rocking chair– kind of springy and such. Whenever I go to the store, that is the chair I like best. My grandfather used to have a set of them– paid me $5 one … Continue reading →
This comes from a discussion of the current PA deer harvest restrictions going on at Grizzly Gary’s Forum PA ANTLER RESTRICTIONS/HERD REDUCTION 2008 REPORTS This is addressed to everyone who has responded on this thread. I don’t mean to be picking on anyone in particular. First off, let me just … Continue reading →
It was in the early post- season that the shaman emerged from his laboratory at deer camp with a proud “Eureka!” “Scooter,” said the shaman, “ I’ve been trading e-mails with my old buddy Nosmo, and we think we’ve got an idea on how to get the anti-telepathy hat idea … Continue reading →
Here it is getting on towards Christmas, and I haven’t written much in a month. I didn’t mean to go on hiatus. It just turned out that way. I started to write this last weekend while I was at Deer Camp cleaning up and getting the place shut down for … Continue reading →
When I look back on this season, I’ve had a several opportunities at bucks and countless opportunities on doe. The main reason I haven’t had anything on the meat pole is that I was hoping to see a big rack come in. Last night, I finally decided enough was enough. … Continue reading →
Angus and I went out to Midway– the new mega-blind for the evening. At last light a buck and a herd of doe came out, but it was too dark and too far away to chance a shot. The rack on this boy was pretty small. I think I saw … Continue reading →
NOTE: At some point in the distant past, the tale of SuperCore’s first successful hunt disappeared out of the archives of this weblog. We have the photographs and the log entries. I will attempt to recreate the story with SuperCore’s help. I’ll leave this up as current business and then … Continue reading →
Well, that was a ride! I had near constant deer activity from legal hunting +30 minutes to quitting at 1100. It was mostly all doe, with a couple of small bucks scattered here and there. One was a forker, the other an immature 8 pointer. If I had been looking … Continue reading →
The past few years, I’ve been putting out a sort-of diary from turkey camp and deer camp on this forum or that. I figured this would be as good a place as any. I arrived yesterday afternoon and filled the fridge and freezer out in the shed. That’s a donation … Continue reading →
I promised myself that I’d not shoot anything with the crossbow unless it was special. I’ve been watching does and such go buy since early October. Last weekend I nearly pushed the safety off when a nice little 8-pointer came by. I held up . Today was much different. I … Continue reading →
I just want to put out a big howdy to all you guys that are planning on hitting the Walmart in Maysville Kentucky at 2130 EST this next Friday night. From what I understand from my correspondents, there are a bunch of you that are making this pilgrimage, to the … Continue reading →
I don’t think I need to explain this one. Let me know if there are any questions. I’m still trying to find out out the source. Somebody sent this to me. If you are the author, I’d love to hear from you. Views: 3 Related posts: The Sport of Not-Hunting … Continue reading →
Over on 24hourcampfire.com we all got together back in 2005 and decide that Christmas on Dec 25 was just not cutting it for us hunters and that we’d all move our serious gift-giving to The Feast of Saint Hubert on 11/3. It really bites if you’re getting a rifle or … Continue reading →
Check this out on 24hourcampfire.com Daylight Saving and the effect on White tail!! swoosh23 New Member This weekend I was informed by a fellow hunt club member that we would be at a real big advantage on todays (sunday) hunt because the deer would be off thier normal pattern by … Continue reading →
Woods Walker said: What….no scent-loc version??? And that green camo…..now THAT’S a joke! By the time the clock change occurs, most of the green is out of the woods in most areas. You need to have one in Realbush “Last Week Of October” pattern, so that it “blends” with the … Continue reading →
It’s kind of goofy and strange that here I go all the way to KY every weekend to hunt, and yet I take a turn out to the local shopping mall to get the best look at a buck in situ all season. Tonight KYHillChick went out looking for a … Continue reading →
NOW! The shaman presents! The Shamanic Camo Clock! Just $48.95 Place this revolutionary clock in front of your stand and set it to daylight savings time to reassure the deer that nothing is wrong. Scientific studies show that this clock, when used in conjunction with a proven scent control plan … Continue reading →
This is in response to: Higher Priced Non-Resident License, a thread over on KentuckyHunting.net I am a resident of Ohio, and hunt exclusively in Zone 1. Kentucky affords me a much better opportunity to hunt deer and turkey. My family owns 200 acres in Bracken County. I’ve written several times … Continue reading →
Dang! I’m missing all those threads about “How is the change from DST going to affect the deer?” I always howl when I find one of them. Occasionally I get the devil in me and start posting stuff about how the deer get confused and start getting up in the … Continue reading →
I’ve finally done some serious hunting with the crossbow. I had it out a few times over the weekend in between hunting for turkey with Angus. Nothing really went wrong with any of it. It just wasn’t as much fun as my bow and certainly not like a rifle. For … Continue reading →
Last year I did a bunch of posts on my testing of UV-suppression in relation to deer hunting. You’re welcome to go look. Use the search function and look for on keywords like “UV-Killer” “elephant repellent” “useless” and so on. I had several posts last Fall , all the way … Continue reading →
I held Angus out of school this morning. He was all worked up over the LCROSS Mission, and frankly so was I. We got up early to watch on the Nasa stream. It turned out to be a major boregasm (sigh!) They don’t make moon shots the way they used … Continue reading →
(Or is that Moron ?) I got to keep saying to myself “CFAB!” “CFAB!” You’d think, starting way back in July, I’d be all ready for my first season with the crossbow. I am, but just barely. Honestly I missed my target of hunting with it last weekend for the … Continue reading →
I was thinking again yesterday about what keeps me in deer hunting. Part of it is certainly just habit, but then you would have to have a serious habit to go through all the trouble I go through every year. Part of it is now probably that worship us old … Continue reading →
I’ve been talking about a rain gun here. I’ve been getting email from folks wanting to know what I mean, and asking if this gun or that qualifies as a rain gun. Let me explain. For a lot of people, there is no such thing. They take a rifle, take … Continue reading →
