Posted on May 12, 2014 by shamanJanuary 25, 2025

A while back, I got a hit on this weblog. Somebody had done a search on “Which is more a Rem 742 or a SPR 30-06?” That one stuck with me. It was fairly ignorant, definitely naive, but it just would not leave my mind. It dawned on me this … Continue reading →

You only need to look at Angus’ face in those pictures from a couple of weeks ago to see this season was not a failure. Still, after hunting 11 of the first 14 days of KY Spring Gobbler Season and 16 of the total 22-days, I have to say I … Continue reading →

Dave Berry is a friend of mine from my days at Broadcasting School. Among other things, Dave paints. Wow, does he paint! He’s also a bit absent-minded. He painted this back in 1998, and has been meaning to bring it up from Florida when he visits Cincinnati. This weekend, he … Continue reading →

Seriously, Where DO Turkeys go after Flydown? 0 (0)

Posted on May 1, 2014 by shamanMay 19, 2023

PODCAST: Angus Rolls the Gob 0 (0)

We’re just in from Turkey Camp– end of Week #1 of KY Spring Gobbler Season.

In between doing battle with the gobblers, I’ve been trying to edit down the podcast of Angus’ last hunt as a yute. It was a challenge– a lot of wind noise in the original sound. Some of it may sound a little funky, and there were three setups before we finally got a shot at a gobbler.

Let me know what you think
