From Turkey and Turkey Hunting We all have a comfort zone for distance in bagging turkeys. I don’t want to talk about ethics, but just personal comfort. It would be a question that would just hard to glean anything meaningful if I just asked you “What is your comfort zone?” … Continue reading →
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 →
It was in the early post- season that the shaman emerged from his laboratory at deer camp with a proud “Eureka!” “Scooter,” said the shaman, “ I’ve been trading e-mails with my old buddy Nosmo, and we think we’ve got an idea on how to get the anti-telepathy hat idea … Continue reading →
Here it is getting on towards Christmas, and I haven’t written much in a month. I didn’t mean to go on hiatus. It just turned out that way. I started to write this last weekend while I was at Deer Camp cleaning up and getting the place shut down for … Continue reading →
When I look back on this season, I’ve had a several opportunities at bucks and countless opportunities on doe. The main reason I haven’t had anything on the meat pole is that I was hoping to see a big rack come in. Last night, I finally decided enough was enough. … Continue reading →
I’ve finally done some serious hunting with the crossbow. I had it out a few times over the weekend in between hunting for turkey with Angus. Nothing really went wrong with any of it. It just wasn’t as much fun as my bow and certainly not like a rifle. For … 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 →
So yesterday Moose, Angus, and I went squirrel hunting. Moose ran into the bionic squirrel: took 5 rounds of #6– kept getting back up and trying to climb the tree. Angus and I went out onto a finger ridge we seldom travel, and found a good spot for the ladder … 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 →
Once, way way back, I shot a buck and had to drive it back to town before I could gut it. Never again. It was a strange set of circumstances, that kept me from cleaning the deer. The buck had laid out for about an hour before I found him, … Continue reading →
I’m hoping we can piece the remains of the new shooting house back together, and get a couple of new stands set up over the new food plots. Angus is still a yute, I’d like to see him bag something early in Yute Season Moose is probably due for a … 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 →
