Daylight Savings Time Hoax Well, it’s coming. Daylight Savings Time is ending this weekend. Soon our mornings will be brighter and our afternoon hunts will be plunged into darkness. How is it going to affect your hunting? How does the change back to standard time affect the deer? How … Continue reading →
There has been a lot of debate over how to handle the Call of Nature when deer hunting. Do the deer smell it? Does it matter? My advice has always been not to try and forget it and hope it goes away. It doesn’t, and while the desire to stay … Continue reading →

From the D&DH Forum Cut N’ Run If deer always walked into the wind in Fall, wouldn’t they all eventually end up in the Pacific northwest? Just kidding. This all reminds me of a story: O.D and Playing the Wind As usual, I’m going take a completely contrary approach to … Continue reading →
You know, the more I think about this whole Scent Lok thing the more annoyed I get. You figure an entire generation of hunters has been working under these assumptions about scent management. I am not saying scent management is bogus, but I am saying that Scent Lok and its … Continue reading →

From March, 2009 On the way back to the house, I didn’t know whether to write this up as a stunning success or a miserable failure. I guess any time the turkeys reveal something to you, it’s a victory. Back in early March, I had Angus out scouting the bottom … Continue reading →
