Well, not really cheap bullets. “The Case for the Standard Hunting Bullet for Whitetail Deer,” is probably more accurate, but it sounds like a master thesis. This is just a rant. “The Case Against Premium Bullets” sounds mean spirited and negative. I am going to speak heresy here. I am … Continue reading →
I was out refreshing my licks yesterday; it was too wet during turkey season to get the truck out into the pastures. The ones that were already well established had been hit hard. I started one new one, and I am going to see how that goes. My opinions on … Continue reading →
From Deer and Deer Hunting SHKYBoonie writes: I have been doing a little study of my own through the past 4 years. I have been keeping a very detailed journal of deer sightings on my farms in West KY. Now this is just observation from me and the couple of … Continue reading →
I once left my release at home. Luckily I had a shooting tab in the case. I’ve left the black powder at home before the ML Opener. Luckily I had a spare pound at the farm. I’ve left ammo at home, but I had a spare rifle handy. I’ve left … Continue reading →
Illinois man faces animal cruelty charges :: Prairie State Outdoors ST. LOUIS (AP) – Prosecutors say a man from Calhoun County in Illinois possessed and sold DVDs of himself hitting, maiming and killing deer with his vehicle. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that 38-year-old Jarrod Lee Hayn of Kampsville, Ill., … Continue reading →
Johnny Clay is in big trouble stemming from a 2009 deer he claimed as the #1 bowkill in Kentucky. The problem is that it now seems likely it was poached with a rifle in Ohio. Oooops. This guy is from just upriver from us in Adams County, Ohio. As I … Continue reading →
I found two interesting thread on KYHunting.net regarding big bucks in KY and IN: http://www.kentuckyhunting.net/forums/showthread.php?t=91957 — Is Indiana going to overtake Kentucky as a trophy state? http://www.kentuckyhunting.net/forums/showthread.php?t=91941 — What single reason makes Kentucky a trophy state The general consensus is that KY’s rise in antler score can attributed to going … Continue reading →
I start off with a liner. Wigwam makes good liners, but you can substitute a Walmart white dress sock. Next comes a RedHead wool blend hunting sock. It has a thick pile. After that comes my Browning hunting boots. They’re an all-leather boot sealed with beeswax. They have Thinsulate insulation. … Continue reading →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
