If I had to go based on my preference of season, I would say bow. I love being afield in October and watch the woods getting ready for Winter. If I had to base my response on what weapon feels the best in my hands, it would be my 54 … Continue reading →
It occurred to me the other day that this might be a good time to start a new conversation about deer rifles. Guys will be thinking about possibly buying a new rifle about now, maybe their first. So it is probably a good thing to throw something up on the … Continue reading →
We got to deer camp Friday night and did not even bother to open the doors. Instead, we immediately rolled out into the field to check on the food plots. I’d planted over Memorial Day weekend. In the interim, the farm has been soaked repeatedly. The results were fantastic! In … Continue reading →
I really did not set out this weekend to put emotional closure on the season. Turkey season for me has usually been a frustrating experience– no less due to the way it usually ended. Noon would come on the last Saturday, I’d get up and walk out and drive home, … Continue reading →
I was feeling a might heavy when I went out this morning. The birds have just not been cooperating lately. It’s coming to the end of the first week. I’d stayed home Monday and Tuesday due to rain. Wednesday the wind had gotten outrageous, and it was promising to blow … Continue reading →

I finally made it to Turkey Camp. It was 62F outside and 50F inside, so I turned on the attic fan, opened the windows and came out on the front porch. I was met with two hens out in the far pasture, so I grabbed the binos and started glassing. … Continue reading →
Angus and I went this morning for Day 2 of the KY Yute Season. Angus was armed with his 20 GA Mossberg bolt action. He was shooting Federal #4’s. We spent another morning like Saturday, with a bunch of half-hearted gobblers barely paying us any mind before fading off. Like … Continue reading →
2009-10 Proposed Kentucky Seasons These are the proposed dates– they won’t be final until July, but they hardly ever change. No big surprises. Modern Gun starts 11/14. No big changes in Archery, Crossbow, ML, or the Yute hunts. Update: I picked up my handy copy of the 2009 D&DH Whitetail … Continue reading →
The shaman was busy at his reloading bench when he heard little Scooter come into his cave. “Mister Shaman?” “In here, Scooter.” said the shaman. “Jeepers, Mister Shaman.” said the boy. “What are you up to?” “I’ve been reading too many deer threads,” said the shaman, and I thought I … Continue reading →
I’ve been on both sides of this permission to hunt thing now. I’ve been sitting here with this topic trying to organize my thoughts. If I look back on the efforts I made over the years to get permission, I can see one pattern arising. I got very few permissions … Continue reading →
From Turkey and Turkey Hunting — Not as Sporting…Are You Serious??? The Turkey Hunter at the Vegetorium Some of y’all remind me of the stories a buddy of mine used to tell. He was a cook at a vegetarian restaurant/store up near the University of Cincinnati. He used to listen … Continue reading →
The thoat slitting thing is a fascinating topic to me. I never did it, but I sure heard about it. Throat slitting only works to bleed an animal if the animal is still alive and its heart is pumping. Everyone not closely connected with deer hunting wants to know “Did … Continue reading →
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 →
I want to start a petition around. It is going to be in favor of a resolution to the state legislature to incorporate a Traditional Methods Turkey Season into the Schedule. Black Powder Shotguns of up to #4 Gauge will be allowed Breech loading rifles will be allowed with straight-necked … 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 →
NOTE: This post has nothing to do with hunting, shooting, or reloading. However, it has everything to do with being an American. I just thought I’d share it with you. My son, Angus (angusthepiper.com) was asked to play for a company of the Ohio National Guard rotating home from a … 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 →
From D&DH Forum: Advice to College Student My advice is on finding the time to hunt. Make the time. Hunters don’t usually talk about this subject. However, I took up hunting 20-some years ago, because I needed to retire from caving. Cavers always talked about whimping out. I guess you … Continue reading →
From Deer & Deer Hunting Forum auman New Member Posts: 6 Joined: 9/28/2008 It seems the more I hunt, the less I see. Being in ‘bama the rut is still a couple of weeks away. It should be heating up shortly. I just have it in the back of my … 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 →
Somebody at the D&DH Forum was carping at me today about a long winded answer to a fairly simple question– the one in the previous blog entry this morning. Somebody else replied: 69Viking Super Member Posts: 134 Joined: 10/1/2008 From: Fort Walton Beach, FL I agree with Dmcianfa, I stopped … 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 →
