One thing I just have to interject here is the concept of hypothermia. I had danced that number a couple of years before I got into deer hunting, so I knew what I was up against. Cold, wet, tired, and alone turns into dead amazingly fast. A sudden 5 degree … Continue reading →
You’re probably not going to hear this all that often, but I just wanted to thank all you Kentucky folks for letting me come deer hunt in your state. I am a born and bred Buckeye. I have hunted deer since the early 80’s and I have to say that … Continue reading →

Activity at the farm was very light this past weekend. There was one flurry of shots right at sunrise on Sunday– about 5 in less than a minute. Then KY Modern Weapons season ended with rain moving in late in the afternoon and settling in to a steady pour-down that … Continue reading →
It ain’t exactly time to tell Marty Stouffer to move over but. . . If you followed the thread on Not-Hunting earlier in the week, you’ll know that I decided to relieve my post-BIG ONE angst by buying a new camera body so that I could at least go out … Continue reading →
I would like to discuss with you the sport of not-hunting. I do not mean not hunting, as in staying on the couch and watching football. I mean actively not-hunting. I know– my head is spinning too. However, if I explain a little more you probably will know what I … Continue reading →
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 →

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 →
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 →

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 →
