I’ve got a few spots on my 200 acre farm which are good spots for hunting turkeys. You can be fairly sure that if you’re there and you wait long enough, eventually a flock will come through. A lot of what you learn from bass fishing and deer hunting applies … Continue reading →
It is a state of mind. You wake up one morning, and you are no longer a deer hunter with a full freezer, remembering the season just ended. You look out the window at the cold dawn and realize that you are a turkey hunter and have about a hundred … 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 →
Look over on the right column There’s a little spot over there where you can join this weblog as a “Follower.” No, this does not mean I want you to pledge or tithe to Genesis 9:2-4 Ministries of SW Bracken County, KY. Don’t get me wrong. I’d take a donation … Continue reading →
From Nubs on Deer and Deer Hunting Here is my question: The day has come to a close and it is time to get down from your stand but wait, there is just one problem. There are a few deer feeding out in the field that you have been watching … Continue reading →
I was digging through my site statistics this morning, and I found an interesting URL. Somebody at D-Day-Overlord.com had referenced a pic of the Mooseboy, his Garand and a doe: I got on the site: DDay-Overlord.com. . . and read what they all were saying about us. Some folks had … Continue reading →
I’m very much in favor of the Saturday Openers. It makes sense after a state begins to allow Sunday hunting. I saw a similar argument over the KY Turkey Seasons going on over at another forum– KY used to start just any-old-day of the week, and it’s now been moved … Continue reading →
Over at Deer and Deer Hunting they were looking for a quick show of hands over which folks enjoyed Bow or Rifle the most. Overwhelmingly, folks picked bow for a variety of reasons.Here’s my answer: Okay, I’ll go against the flow here and say modern centerfire rifle season. Mind you, … Continue reading →
It’s over. At least for me. I’m not elated. I’m not sad. I hunted a lot more days this year, and a lot more deer in my scope. I got out late yesterday afternoon. Things just did not go smoothly. I left the house late, I got to camp late. … Continue reading →
One story that got lost in the rush of deer season is the tale of how I turned my buddy, O.T., into a gunsmith. Now that things are starting to wind down for me, I thought I would let you all hear it. One morning, I was out with my … Continue reading →
From Deer&Deer Hunting Forum Shot for Just Bein’ Ugly – 11/17/2008 10:14:48 AM EatDeer Super Member The day after I read your story, I saw a button buck while hunting, about 4″ of the bone in his upper jaw and nose bridge was missing, and the nose was pushed off … Continue reading →
I always said I was not a big antler addict. I know a big rack sticks out past the ears. Once it gets to estimating inches I get lost really fast. I had gone through the first four days of Kentucky Rifle Season watching doe and spikes, little forkers and … Continue reading →
I’ve been sitting back watching the pig rasslin’ going on over at the Deer & Deer Hunting site over whose theory of deer rutting is closer: Charlie Alsheimer or Leonard Lee Rue III. I think both guys have done a great job of research. For all the arguing and fussing … Continue reading →
I’ve been sitting back watching the pig rasslin’ going on over at the Deer & Deer Hunting site over whose theory of deer rutting is closer: Charlie Alsheimer or Leonard Lee Rue III and things are coming out crystal clear: There is not enough of our anecdotal evidence to back … Continue reading →
I’ve always been a lousy judge of antlers. My gag is that I’ve got three settings on my internal antler radar: 1) Doe (no antler) 2) Buck (visible antler) 3) Quint, I think we’re going to need a bigger boat. Up until a few years ago it was inconceivable to … Continue reading →
“I always thought it was hard killing a turkey,” said Angus. “But then there it was, and it was all over.” That was Sunday morning. We had gone back to the place he had shot his first turkey last evening. He had a squirrel already in his bag, and the … Continue reading →
It was the afternoon of Opening Day of Kentucky’s Early Muzzleloader Season. I was on the tail end of one of the most pleasant days of hunting ever. Angus, #3 son, was all ready tagged out for the season, so I had put him in a stand by himself at … Continue reading →

After the remnants of Hurricane Ike hit the Ohio Valley over last weekend, I was worried about how badly the farm had gotten hit. I was stuck all week on the north side of Cincinnati with the lights out and roads blocked from fallen trees and power lines. This weekend … Continue reading →
My sons have been hunting with me for years. #2 starts this year on his own as an adult with 6 Youth seasons under his belt. #3 son is 10, and is finally deciding he’s ready. I made some simple rules above and beyond what KY law requires: 1) My … Continue reading →

He’s back from the taxidermist. The Monarch of the Forest II has come to rest on my fireplace. The previous occupant of the spot got moved across the room, a smart little 8 pointer called “Mister Deer.” He was my first bow kill buck from 1991. He entertained all three … Continue reading →
