Christmas morning, I went over to their Mom’s house and picked up my older 2 sons. Grandma and Grandpa came over and we spent the latter half of the morning dishing out presents to each other. Moose gave me a stool he made in Woodshop. I gave Moose a couple … Continue reading →

Most anything will kill a deer. They are not that hard to kill. There are a few issues at work here. Most of them are stuff that gun writers cannot deal with. They exist in the realm of the shaman. I will therefore don my headdress, grab my turtle rattle … Continue reading →
One thing I just have to interject here is the concept of hypothermia. I had danced that number a couple of years before I got into deer hunting, so I knew what I was up against. Cold, wet, tired, and alone turns into dead amazingly fast. A sudden 5 degree … Continue reading →
For years now, I have been hearing about this Evolution of the Hunter. It just sticks in my craw. I do not think they have it right. According to the theory, hunters go through a series of steps. At first they want shooting opportunities. Next, they start looking to place … Continue reading →
You’re probably not going to hear this all that often, but I just wanted to thank all you Kentucky folks for letting me come deer hunt in your state. I am a born and bred Buckeye. I have hunted deer since the early 80’s and I have to say that … Continue reading →

I caught myself counting the months to turkey season this morning on the way to work. I like how this works. Four months of getting ready. Two months of doing it. Four months of getting ready, etc. I’d never really thought of it before. That’s comforting. Deer, Turkey, Deer, Turkey, … Continue reading →
It ain’t exactly time to tell Marty Stouffer to move over but. . . If you followed the thread on Not-Hunting earlier in the week, you’ll know that I decided to relieve my post-BIG ONE angst by buying a new camera body so that I could at least go out … Continue reading →
I would like to discuss with you the sport of not-hunting. I do not mean not hunting, as in staying on the couch and watching football. I mean actively not-hunting. I know– my head is spinning too. However, if I explain a little more you probably will know what I … Continue reading →
I see a huge turnaround in the forums from back just a few years ago when this subject was discussed. Back then, nearly everybody who responded gutted where they fell. I was nearly the only one who would transport the whole deer back to camp for gutting. I did not … Continue reading →

Mooseboy officically became just “The Moose” after bagging a button buck Saturday morning, closing out his career as a yute hunter. Next year, he’ll be hunting by himself on an adult tag. Let me tell you that it happened none too soon, either. This guy has grown!!! It was a … Continue reading →

Last night, Friday Night, we didn’t go to the farm. We’re not squirrel hunting. We’re not deer hunting. We’re not painting the sheds. We’re not driving to Mount Olivet for dead fried chicken. Friday night Moose wanted to stay in town and go to his high school football game. He’s … Continue reading →
I remember this same discussion over bass many years ago. The question was this: It used to be a sawed-off teaspoon would catch bass. What happened to those bass? Why won’t they bite a sawed-off teaspoon any more? In largemouth bass there is no room for culture. Big bass don’t … Continue reading →
