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 →
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 →
I have had a moderate season. For everything that has gone right, there has been something else impinging on it. As things go, last year was the best year for us ever– just about anything would have been a let down. For starters, the big influences on our hunting this … 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 →
Well, I’m back from hunting. I probably should be out this morning, but I had business in town. I probably won’t be back out until Friday AM. So far, after 9 outings, it’s still 0-0-0 for me. It is not for lack of targets. If I had wanted a doe … Continue reading →
I am oft reminded of the story of the man with the can of Elephant Repellent. One day a neighbor sees the man scattering powder around the edge of his yard and asks what’s up. “It’s elephant repellent.” said the man. “Why do you need elephant repellent?” asked the neighbor. … 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 →
Overall, the model that would accurately represent deer movement would have to be extremely complex. One guy writes a book on lunar influences, another on weather, another on hunting pressure. All together, it ends up being a mess. My read on it is much easier–what I call “The Slack Theory.” … Continue reading →
See, it’s this issue that always stuck in my craw– how can scent be all that important when firearms have a clear stench and deer are supposedly not minding? Ditto for rubber boots. Ditto for ATV’s. Mind you, I’ve been following this whole scent suppression business since before some folks … Continue reading →
Here is a series of comments that amounts to a conversation between myself and Dan Gutting at Atsko, the makers of UV Killers. As you can see, Dan is a bit peeved at the less than glowing comments I made of his product: Blogger Dan said… Dear Shaman, If you … 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 →
From the 24hourcampfire.com Shamanic Gum PT II “Funny,” said the fellow, with the goat. “I’ve never seen a goat spit anything out.” “Is there a problem?” asked the shaman. As he turned to see what was going on, several wads of gum came out of campers mouths and flew into … Continue reading →

If all goes well, Lil Angus will have a deer by the end of this weekend. Angus is my #3 son. He’s enjoying his first Kentucky Youth Season. He’s been watching me since he was 4. Now it’s his turn. It’s been a long road. His older brother, Moose just … Continue reading →
I’d mentioned my exchange with Dan at Atsko re: the UV-Killer thing on a few of the forums where I correspond. Grogel Deluxe on the 24HourCampfire had this to say: Shaman, I believe UV killers have been used by sucsesful deer hunters since the 20s. Im not the kind to … Continue reading →
