This is my first Yute Season in many years where I did not have a yute to bring with me. Angus is now too old, and grandaughteer #1, Mooselette, just turned 3. She and I have been hunting turkeys in the backyard when she comes to visits. It must be … Continue reading →
I probably would have stayed back in town this weekend, but the temperature was cold enough that I thought I might freeze the pipes at Turkey Camp if I was not there. Indeed, the temperature was 17F and still falling when I went out armed with the recorder and my … Continue reading →
Just under a month separates me from The Spring Opener. This was my first trip out to the Honey Hole. It seemed like I’d just gotten up and left last week, even though it had almost been a year. I was formulating a spiel about what to do when faced … Continue reading →
This was our first weekend back at Turkey Camp. It had been a harsh winter, but the cabin was in one piece, and the deer and turkey both seemed as though they had not suffered too much.  A week ago there had been a foot of snow on the ground. … Continue reading →
I have one property . It’s my farm, and the only folks that are allowed to hunt it are my sons and my old boss, SuperCore. What I’ve learned there in 13 seasons is that generally there are only a few days a season where any group of turkeys are … Continue reading →

This is the time of year where I get to making a serious batches of venison jerky. When I do it, I do it in a big way– about 10 lbs at a time. I figure it is about time I let someone in on my method. This is absolutely … Continue reading →
KYHillChick and I completed our CCI training last weekend. We used Woodhill Training out of Miamitown. I cannot say enough good things about Tom and Chris. They were excellent trainers. I think one of the most helpful things I can say about the CCW training we received was that most … Continue reading →
I have some more info on the proposed rule changes that would let Indiana deer hunters use most centerfire rifles starting in 2015. Pointer, a buddy from 24hourcampfire.com has sent me some links. See below: Here’s the news article: http://www.greensburgdailynews.com/commu…ed756f6074.html Here’s a link the Natural Resource Commision website: http://www.in.gov/nrc/ Here’s … Continue reading →
Dang. It’s been two weeks. I wish I could say I’ve been up to something, but I really haven’t. Mostly, I’ve been in a daze. Angus brought home a bug from high school. KYHillChick and I have had it. It’s one of those nasty viruses that kind of come and … Continue reading →
etter late than never, here is the best of about 40 hours of recording. This is not like my other podcasts, because it is just raw turkey sounds with no commentary, no banjo music. The original recordings were from mid-April on a morning where all heck broke loose at the Honey Hole. I had several gobblers come in on me, but I could never get the cross-hairs on them. I selected the source tracks, because they were particularly clean and mixed it so it would be perfect wake-up music.
Continue reading →Since the announcement in of Indiana’s rule changes allowing centerfire rifle for deer, I have been deluged. The same was true earlier in the year when Ohio announced PCR for deer. Everyone wants to know what it all really means. My guess is it means y’all are going to be … Continue reading →
Some of my deer friends over the line in Indiana are taking me to task for my support of the new centerfire rifle rules. In particular, they would question the issue of safety. To them, I offer this: Study: Shotguns not safer for deer hunting Ballistics tests, prompted by accidental … Continue reading →
