What’s a Good Scope? 0 (0)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on June 13, 2022 by shamanJune 15, 2023  

Every year I get asked what’s a good deer rifle. I’ve been writing deer rifle recommendations for close on to two decades. Rather than beat that horse again, I want to discuss the scope. Honestly, I am by no means an expert on rifle scopes. However, I’ve been dealing with … Continue reading →

Progress Report 5 (1)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on June 2, 2022 by shamanJune 2, 2022  

I figure now would be a good time to let y’all know how it’s going. I did not want you to be thinking I was all curled up in a ball somewhere with tubes coming out of me in all directions. The truth is, I’m feeling pretty darn good approaching … Continue reading →

Powder Coating for Dummies 5 (2)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on May 23, 2022 by shamanJanuary 9, 2025  

From E-Mail (name withheld on request) Oh, High and Lofty Shaman! . . . I notice you have several pictures on your site of rounds loaded with green-colored bullets. I take it you do powder-coating. How does that work? I see all over, but it all looks way too complicated … Continue reading →

44 Magnum — It won’t leave me alone 4.5 (2)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on May 13, 2022 by shamanMay 20, 2023 1

Have you ever had a hard time getting a chambering out of your head? Let me tell you my story. See if this sounds familiar. Let’s start back to 30 or so years ago. Back then, I was only deer hunting with 30-06 in Kentucky and 12 Gauge slug in … Continue reading →

Hiatus 5 (1)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on May 7, 2022 by shamanMay 7, 2022  

Cancer has a nasty way of screwing up a Turkey Season. I did not want to call things off entirely. As it was, I left the oncologist’s on Thursday of Opening Week with a firmed-up treatment schedule and rode straight out to camp. Friday AM is when I nailed my … Continue reading →

A Walk Along Vine Street 5 (5)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on April 30, 2022 by shamanMay 19, 2023  

Walking out from the Honey Hole the other day presented me with a bit of a logistics problem. I had only a half-mile or so to walk, but I was schlepping a 23 lb bird on my back. I am due to start chemo on Monday, and I must admit … Continue reading →

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on April 22, 2022 by shamanApril 23, 2022  

This did not take a whole lot of editing, but it turned out pretty well. I was out earlier today in the fog and managed to bring a gobbler in and close the deal. Some quick notes. First off, the extraneous pops and cracks is water dripping off the trees. … Continue reading →

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on April 22, 2022 by shamanFebruary 23, 2026 2

I had to call it quits last weekend. The trip out and back to the Honey Hole aggravated the leg, which had been the reason I spent the early part of last week in the ICU. I did not mind it much. Sunday thru Wednesday was cold or rainy– or … Continue reading →

Angus Scores in Turkey Opener 5 (9)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on April 16, 2022 by shamanOctober 14, 2022 1

The 2022 Kentucky Spring Gobbler Season started about as well as any. It rained overnight but stayed in the mid-fifties. The last shower evaporated a few miles from us just as we were heading out. It looked like things were going well. They did, just not for me. Angus and … Continue reading →

Bess Gets Her Cherry Popped 5 (1)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on April 8, 2022 by shamanApril 8, 2022  

Saturday AM, I finally had everything assembled to get my first shot off with my Pedersoli Brown Bess. Things went off without a major hitch. I even managed to dig up some FFG Goex that I purchased in 1986 to use in the inaugural shot. The powder worked like it … Continue reading →

Mooselette Comes Out for Yute Opener 4 (1)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on April 2, 2022 by shamanApril 12, 2022 1

#1 Granddaughter, Mooselette, attended the 2022 Yute Opener with her Grandpa. I took her out to the Honey Hole in hopes of recording something for a podcast. It wasn’t much of a hunt; we did not expect it to be. Mooselette did not even bring a shotgun. We had fun. … Continue reading →

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on March 17, 2022 by shamanOctober 14, 2022  

This is the first podcast of 2022, and it is a good one. I got out to the Honey Hole just as a roost of hens to my left was pitching woo to a roost of gobblers to my right. Over a half-hour the loudest gob and the most vocal … Continue reading →

More on Bess’ Balls 5 (2)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on March 15, 2022 by shamanMarch 16, 2022 1

The first attempt to cast balls for the Brown Bess ended with mixed results. The Lee .69 cal mold cast perfect balls for what would be standard paper cartridges, but that assumes that the shooter would be jamming multiple rounds down the barrel without any cleaning. For precision shots, I … Continue reading →

KY Spring Rules are Posted 1 (1)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on March 12, 2022 by shamanMarch 18, 2022  

The KYDFWR’s Spring Rules are out. There is nothing particularly new regarding turkeys. Spring Gobbler season still starts on 4/16/22 and you can still take 2 birds. However, keep your ear to the ground for next season. The KYDFWR is considering changes to combat declining turkey populations. The only big … Continue reading →

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on March 6, 2022 by shamanMarch 7, 2022  

Requiem for a Turkey Load I really cannot remember the last time I blew my wad at paper. It must have been ten years ago. I’ve been shooting pretty much the same load at turkeys since 1996, Federal Premium 3-inch 12 Gauge 2-ounce #4. The boxes have changed. The load … Continue reading →

How Loud Should I Call? 5 (1)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on March 3, 2022 by shamanMarch 3, 2022  

From Old.Gobbler.com: I am always amazed at how sensitive gobblers can be and how far calls can travel. A good many of the turkeys I’ve killed at flydown have come from 200 to 400 yards away. Ones I’ve taken in mid-afternoon have come from much farther. Usually, I start off … Continue reading →

When Should I start Scouting for Turkeys? 5 (1)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on February 26, 2022 by shamanFebruary 26, 2022  

When should I start Scouting for Turkeys? That’s a very good question. It certainly is a timely one. As I write this, the countdown is just passing T-Minus 7 weeks to The Opener. I’ve been at it 40 years, and I can’t tell you a set formula. For the last … Continue reading →

Bubba Paints His Turkey Gun Again 5 (1)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on February 5, 2022 by shamanMarch 28, 2026  

Back in 2009, I spray-painted my Mossberg 500 with Krylon Fusion and documented it for Turkey & Turkey Hunting. The story was well-received, and folks not only liked the paint job, but liked the way I described it. If you’re interested, here’s the original story: I can report that the … Continue reading →

What is the best time of the day to hunt wild turkey? 5 (2)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on February 4, 2022 by shamanMarch 23, 2022  

From Quora:What is the best time of the day to hunt wild turkey? I’m going to limit my answers to Spring Gobbler Season as I seldom hunt in the fall. Gobblers can be taken at any hour during legal hunting times. However, several things impinge on this. A lot of … Continue reading →

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on January 23, 2022 by shamanMarch 23, 2022 1

The tale starts way back. I had shot a Brown Bess once; it was decades ago. At some point in the deep past I read an account of a fellow in the modern-day using one as a general-purpose hunting weapon. It was one of those back-burner deals. I figured that … Continue reading →

Genesis 9:2-4

2 The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the air, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea; into your hand they are delivered. 3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; and as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. 4 Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.
