The Shaman Bags an 8-Pointer in KY Rifle 0 (0)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on by 2

One last little coda in all this: when I went to retrieve the rest of my gear back at the stand, the doe that had been hanging out all weekend had bedded only about 10 yards away from the ladder. She rose up and started to run.

“Don’t worry.” I said. “You’re fine. I’ve got my business to do, and you have yours. I’ll get on to mine, and you go have a nice day.” I guess she had decided to figure out exactly what had been chattering at her from the stand all weekend, and camped out there determined to have an answer. Fully satisfied, she took my admonition to heart and walked off.

Moose Bags a Smokepole Forker 0 (0)

Now comes the interesting part. Rather than running off, the doe just stands there, looking at him. The smoke clears, the woods settle back down, and there they are, just staring at each other. Moose is still expecting the doe to fall over at this point. The doe? Heaven knows what was going on in her head. Moose quickly figured out that the shot had gone wild, and he was glad it did, because he saw two little ones come up from the rear.

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 →

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on by  

From the D&DH Forum: DeerCamp Super Member   Deer season is long, but as you all know the off season is even longer. My question is this, with all the books, DVD’S, magazines, and countless numbers of deer strategies out there, do any of you ever get “burned out?” Here … Continue reading →

Is it Ethical To Hunt? 0 (0)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on by  

From D&DH Forum Everyday Hunter asks: Is it a moral decision to hunt or not to hunt?  Let’s get philosophical. I recently re-read an article in Sports Illustrated (Nov. 24, 2008) on the decline of hunting. It ended with this sentence: “Wolves do not make moral decisions, he decided. They … Continue reading →

From Deer and Deer Hunting: For the Ninety -Niners It’s funny.  I don’t think a lot of guys get it.  It could be that my hillbilly girlfriend’s all-to-subtle ways are rubbing off on me, and I’m getting so subtle no one can catch my hints anymore.  It could be as … 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 →

So I was showing KYHillChick the latest on Scent Lok, and letting her read the piece on building an outhouse next to my tree stand. She screwed up her face a little and said, “Why do you do that?” “What?” “You’re such a. . . you’re always such a . … Continue reading →

The Case for Cheap Bullets 0 (0)

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on by  

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 →

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on by 2

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 →
