Last year I did a bunch of posts on my testing of UV-suppression in relation to deer hunting. You’re welcome to go look. Use the search function and look for on keywords like “UV-Killer” “elephant repellent” “useless” and so on. I had several posts last Fall , all the way … Continue reading →
I held Angus out of school this morning. He was all worked up over the LCROSS Mission, and frankly so was I. We got up early to watch on the Nasa stream. It turned out to be a major boregasm (sigh!) They don’t make moon shots the way they used … Continue reading →
(Or is that Moron ?) I got to keep saying to myself “CFAB!” “CFAB!” You’d think, starting way back in July, I’d be all ready for my first season with the crossbow. I am, but just barely. Honestly I missed my target of hunting with it last weekend for the … Continue reading →
This is a condensation of my comments regarding a thread on D&DH regarding the following question: I’m wondering about legal shooting times for bow hunting, specifically last light… If the law reads you have to quit at 5:00 p.m for example, do I have to be out of the woods … Continue reading →
Here’s the site I always recommend for this sort of thing: http://fw.ky.gov/mineral.asp I know the guy who wrote a bunch of these pages. I hunt with his Dad. Just to give you an update on my mineral lick progress: My last refresh was before Memorial Day. I had refreshed two … Continue reading →
It is hard to pronounce any slug round as THE round for a slug gun until it has been tried. There are two things working against the average slug shotgun. First, the barrel is usually not permanently affixed to the receiver. You can improve accuracy on a dedicated slug gun … Continue reading →
I’m going to throw out some ideas on youth rifles for deer hunting. Maybe we’ll get a conversation going. Maybe not. This is just like the previous thread about deer rifles. It is about time to be thinking of what Junior’s going to be shooting this year for yute season. … Continue reading →
Lately I have been thinking about trying a crossbow. In Kentucky they’re restricted to only part of the archery season, but allowed in all of it if you can get a medical waiver signed by a doctor. I’m probably eligible. As I am getting into this, I find that there … 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 don’t suppose you want any of this?” I asked my friend. We were sitting in the middle of the pasture, enjoying the day. I was munching on some chopped chicken livers. “It’s really good stuff,” I added. “I always enjoy chopped chicken livers on Matzo crackers. They just … Continue reading →
Okay. I’m ready to come out now and say what needed to be said about honey holes. To be honest with you, I didn’t coin the term Honey Hole. It was coined by Brian Warner at Heirloom Turkey Calls. One night we were exchanging posts, and I was noticing that … Continue reading →
I had a couple of old buddies. One was veteran of The Bulge and Jacque was an old caver. The two of them got to talking about their athlete’s foot. John had it bad. He froze his feet in The Bulge and nearly lost them. However, they eventually healed up, … 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 →
