I brought the Shamanic Deer Battery back from its secret offsite underground storage facility the other day, and it occurred to me that it might be a good idea to take pictures to share with y’all. I’m always talking about this deer rifle or that one. You can tell that … Continue reading →
If I had to go based on my preference of season, I would say bow. I love being afield in October and watch the woods getting ready for Winter. If I had to base my response on what weapon feels the best in my hands, it would be my 54 … Continue reading →
It occurred to me the other day that this might be a good time to start a new conversation about deer rifles. Guys will be thinking about possibly buying a new rifle about now, maybe their first. So it is probably a good thing to throw something up on the … Continue reading →
We got to deer camp Friday night and did not even bother to open the doors. Instead, we immediately rolled out into the field to check on the food plots. I’d planted over Memorial Day weekend. In the interim, the farm has been soaked repeatedly. The results were fantastic! In … Continue reading →
If you scroll to the bottom, you’ll get into the serious hunting stuff. It’s not like a crawled in a hole at the end of turkey season. A couple of y’all have e-mailed me wondering where I’ve been. You have to remember that being a father is not all about … Continue reading →
Well, it was a good fresh start. It wasn’t going to last. I bagged that gob on Friday. Friday evening, my wife and sons showed up. We were treated to a bunch of hens and a mature gobbler out in the pasture just before sundown. The didn’t much mind us; … Continue reading →
Now, right about turkey season, is a good time to start thinking about putting out your salt if you haven’t started putting one in already. I have action at mine, hitting the leftovers from last year. I don’t use salt blocks. I use bags of rock salt and use one … Continue reading →
From Deer and Deer Hunting Magazine Forum I was in the process of trying to come up with a few quips that would get y’all laughing, and I finally stopped myself. It just wasn’t going anywhere. It’s not for lack of involvement. It’s not for lack of attachment to this … Continue reading →
The shaman was busy at his reloading bench when he heard little Scooter come into his cave. “Mister Shaman?” “In here, Scooter.” said the shaman. “Jeepers, Mister Shaman.” said the boy. “What are you up to?” “I’ve been reading too many deer threads,” said the shaman, and I thought I … Continue reading →
The thoat slitting thing is a fascinating topic to me. I never did it, but I sure heard about it. Throat slitting only works to bleed an animal if the animal is still alive and its heart is pumping. Everyone not closely connected with deer hunting wants to know “Did … Continue reading →
Every year about this time I wait for the temperatures to dip below zero. You have to plan ahead around here. We’re far enough South that it does not happen every year, and it has to be on a day I’m going to be off work. When it happens, I … Continue reading →
With the Telecheck system in place, the deer processor has replaced the check station for the place to hang out and watch deer come in. The spectacle at Meyer’s in Lennoxburg is every bit the way it used to be– crowds of people, lot’s of deer. Ditto for the Farm … Continue reading →
Now, here’s question : if you’re down to a doe tag, and you know you’re probably going to see a shootable doe, then what? What happens when there’s no more “WOW” left in the season? Here are the options I’ve tried: 1) Stay home. Bummer. Season ends to soon. 2) … Continue reading →
