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 … Continue reading →

The shaman has won a deer hunting story contest on the Quaker Boy Forum I won a Squeezin’ Bleat, Ridge Runner grunt call, DVD, Quaker Boy hat and a Bandito headnet, which I hope to share with the Moose. Here’s a link to the story: Don’t Say My Kid Can’t … Continue reading →
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. … Continue reading →
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 … Continue reading →

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 … Continue reading →
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 … Continue reading →
Last night, Friday Night, we didn’t go to the farm. We’re not squirrel hunting. We’re not deer hunting. We’re not painting the sheds. We’re not driving to Mount Olivet for dead fried chicken. Friday night Moose wanted to stay in town and go to his high school football game. He’s … Continue reading →
I remember this same discussion over bass many years ago. The question was this: It used to be a sawed-off teaspoon would catch bass. What happened to those bass? Why won’t they bite a sawed-off teaspoon any more? In largemouth bass there is no room for culture. Big bass don’t … Continue reading →
I’ve got stuff still from 1982. My sons are wearing the stuff I started out with. You replace them when they stop doing the job. Some things I’ve learned over the years: 1) Rotate your clothes. To keep scent down, I always have one or more changes for the weekend … Continue reading →

From the 24HourCampfire: Registered: 07/18/05 Posts: 7 Loc: BFE, Kentucky Anyone have any experience with the 50 cal black powder barrel that screws onto a Mossberg 500?

Since Angus has been keeping us away from home a couple of nights a week with his bagpipe practice, lessons, etc. We haven’t been cooking at home as much. Hence, we’re not consuming venison as we were. Hence, the freezer is not as empty as it has been in years … Continue reading →

I know. It’s been waaaay to long. However, we all haven’t been down to the farm since before the All-Star break. I haven’t been shooting since then either. Life has been on hold due to drought and heat and work. The big highlight this summer was going up to Lake … Continue reading →
From KentuckyHunting.net DixieBoy22 which 30-06 bullet? What 30-06 bullet do you like best for deer? I’m thinking about 165 gr. nosler partitions this year, even though it is probably overkill. What will yall be shooting? I shoot 165 grain Hornady SP in all my .308 caliber rifles. It is absolutely … Continue reading →
Everything’s cool here. I have my food plots in. I hope the rain we had was enough to get them going. The new steering package arrived for my boat, The Floating Hole. We’ll probably have a shake down cruise on the Ohio River within the next few weeks. Mooseboy had … Continue reading →

Posted By: Youper on the 24hourcampfire: “Now, after five deer, daughters have seen mothers die. Mothers have seen sons die. They know.” A little too much anthropomorphism for me. Your deer are smarter than ours shaman. Now mind you this didn’t happen to me, but to my dad. At a … Continue reading →
KevinDK asks: How do I make sure I get a blood trail? The higher you hit a deer, the longer it takes to have a blood trail. Basically, you’re putting a hole into a bucket and waiting for something to slosh out. If there are two holes, that’s better than … Continue reading →
“. . .So does this make me a Shooter? Am I a Method Man? I probably am. I am probably all these things. I probably am an old-fashioned troglodyte, and that is why I hunt. When I finish out the season with a tag or two still unfilled, call me a Sportsman. When I am up to my elbows in deer gore, you can call me a naked ape with a gun. It is all the same thing, and it is all the same to me. If I go out for the afternoon with my gun or my bow, and fall asleep in the blind and wake up after sundown, does that make me a Sportsman or just another lazy goof?”
