I put the first of the two new buddy stands into place yesterday with the help of Angus and KYHillChick. This was the first time I tried the pulley-and-rope method of getting a buddy stand into place– MUCH easier. 1) I put up a climbing stick 2) I put a … Continue reading →
Worldhunt.com Here’s the link. I posted in a thread on the Deer Forum a few weeks ago. My reaction: tell me it’s just a joke like the Bonzai Kitten site. Then I can laugh at it and move on. Hunting whitetail deer isn’t all THAT hard. Granted, they’re a wiley … Continue reading →
Something occurred to me this summer as I was getting ready for the start of deer season. I was in the shed, moving unused stands around, and it hit me how far removed from my earlier hunting experiences I had become. I’m now 48. I’m now well into my 20-something-th … Continue reading →
SportmansGuide.com has the Hunters View Buddy Treestand advertised for under $80 bucks. I’ve got three of them already– I ordered another two. It has a 500 lb weight rating– perfect for me and one of the kids. When I’m hunting alone, it’s positively luxurious– all that room! Buddy Treestand Walmart … Continue reading →
With gas prices, inflation, etc. kicking me in the wallet, I decided that I would try a new reloading project. Before I got started in reloading, I had foresworn that I would refrain from trying to push the velocity/pressure envelope too far I have previously embarked on projects that optimized … Continue reading →

How many shots do I need to sight-in a rifle? Good question. Somebody asked it over at the 24HourCampfire in the optics forum. I won’t point you to it, because it quickly degraded into another pissy flame fest, common to that forum these days. (Sigh!) How many shots do I … Continue reading →
Sorry I’ve been away. It’s been the day job, and a bunch of other stuff. I’ll get you caught up and then let you know what’s cooking for the summer: Turkey Season 2006: I had two close calls over 4 days of hunting, and then the weather turned ugly and … Continue reading →
From the 24hourcampfire.com If you go back and read what was being published back when the “Brush Buster” myth was running rampant you also see a lot of suggestions that shooting through a bush was an acceptable way to take game. I’ve got an O’Connor article from back in the … Continue reading →
NOTE: 12/17/2012 — This is from way back in 2006. Since that time, I have been able to procure just about any Remington bullet I needed from Grafs.com . Also, I finally settled on the 200 grain Rem SPCL (round nose) and it has been a great performer in succeeding … Continue reading →

Continue reading →I was at the Bill Goodman Gun and Nut Show in Sharonville, OH this weekend with #2 son, Mooseboy. I got to handle some K31’s and some 31’s and M44 Mosin Nagants. The M44’s impressed me. It then hit me that: 1) I could buy an M44 for under $70. … Continue reading →
It’s funny how we mark time in our lives. There are the periodic things– the length of time it takes to go through a tube of toothpaste, the time between a change in eyeglass prescription and so on. There are also the one-off milestones. Your first car means something. So … Continue reading →
