From the 24hour Campfire: I’ve got a very strange hunting partner (deer -) he’s a new hunter and doesn’t have near the drive as anyone else I hunt with. Last year he called me on the radio at around 9:30 and said he was done. Turns out he had forgot … Continue reading →

It’s been several years now, and I have to say that I am so glad I took this up. What we are doing is trying our hand at acorn farming. See, we have acres and acres of white oak with tons and tons of acorns just lying on the ground. … Continue reading →
I used to take a themos of coffee all the time. In fact it was a that small thermos that was , in part, responsible for my first deer. I’d run out of regular coffee that morning, and used some ultra-high test espresso stuff to brew up my thermos load. … Continue reading →
The question came up yet again on the 24hourcampfire: What is the Ideal Deer Rifle/Cartridge. Yes, one of those will do nicely. The fact of the matter is that they all seem to kill deer, some a bit better than others. However, we don’t have the luxury of replaying every … Continue reading →
Well, I probably have you all beat on sheer numbers. You have to remember, we were just a bunch of inner-city Yuffies (Young Urban Failures) enjoying a protracted adolescence. Back in the early 80’s, I ended up with a terrific cockroach problem. We’d shot this feature film in the basement … Continue reading →

While I was on sabbatical, a bunch of guys over at the Deer Forum at 24HourCampfire.com were having a discussion regarding the number of game animals they’d bagged. I have to admit that I am somewhat in agreement with the astute gentleman that said it was a question of the … Continue reading →
Hello, Jerry? Who is this? This is Shaman. Shaman who? You know, Jerry. It’s me! You’re little brother. What are you doing calling me here? What time is it? Sorry. It’s a little before 7 on Friday night. Oh, #$@$#@$! I overslept. But Jerry, you’re dead! Oh . . . … Continue reading →
A lot of guys have responded to my piece yesterday about funnels and signs. In general, all I can say is that I think all you guys are barking up the wrong tree. It’s all in the salt. You and the state have it all wrong– deer can’t read. Deer … Continue reading →
When I was learning how to hunt deer, they always told me to look for sign and hunt the funnels. Deer signs were easy. They were big and yellow and they had a picture of a deer on them. In some places, the deer were shown just standing. In other … Continue reading →
I just love having fun with the counter boys, especially at the big chain stores. It’s a nasty habit, I know. Still, I just love it when somebody hands me a dusty 45-70 Marlin and tells me that I NEED this rifle to bring down deer. It just makes my … Continue reading →
