From T&TH Forum Where would you go? by Virginia Boy » Tue May 17, 2011 4:18 pm Here’s a question for some of you long time turkey hunters that has been puzzling this newbie for years. If you had a parcel of land in farm country that was a mix … Continue reading →
There has been a vast number of hits at this weblog regarding the Remington 742, so much so that I feel compelled to write about it. It was 2004 when I put the 742 onto the rack, never to hunt with it again. It had served me well for over … Continue reading →
The tale of the tape: 24.5 lbs, 10.5″ beard and spurs starting to hook– I’m guessing a 3 year old. He was fat enough that he broke the stick I was using as a handle for my turkey tote.
Continue reading →This has been a busy off-season for me. Moosegirl, Moose’s squeeze, has shown an interest in both Turkey and Deer Hunting. Putting together a good starter kit for her for Spring Gobbler Season has had me scouring the web for good deals, collecting up turkey porn, and rummaging through the … Continue reading →
From T&TH Forum:Â “Calling vs Woodsmanship” Even though I am on the pro-staff here and a few other places, I don’t claim to be an expert turkey hunter. What I claim to be is expert at being a beginning turkey hunter. What I do know is how hunt conservatively and … Continue reading →
Over the years, I have gone round and round about in my beliefs regarding camo for deer hunting. I started back in the early 80’s just using whatever was at hand, mostly stuff recycled from my paintballing. I was a bowhunter, and I usually wore an old milsurp M-65 field … Continue reading →
Good question. Season is over for us. I still have a pile of stuff to do before calling it quits. The Guns One thing I learned over this season is that storing rifles in padded cases is bad Ju-Ju. I guess I was lucky all these years. I never had … Continue reading →
The drive back Sunday was all too familiar.  Rain, a lot of unused tags, snow in the forecast, and listening to the Bengals lose.   I explained to Angus that was how I spent a good deal of my early years as a deer hunter.  Somehow Phil Samp play-by-play, Horst Muhlman … Continue reading →
There’s that old bit of glurge about footsteps in the sand. You look back and see only one set of prints although you know someone was there helping you along. I just looked back and there’s nothing in this weblog for October except a piece on buck fever on the … Continue reading →
Sorry I haven’t been around all that much. Three weeks ago Dad went into the VA for a routine exam and had a sudden bout of dizziness. They found his heart was beating extremely slow. The next day they inserted a pacemaker, and talked about how good he’d feel after … Continue reading →
I have never had chronic buck fever, but I can point to at least a couple of times where I got a dose of it. Maybe this qualifies me to give advice. Maybe it doesn’t. However, I do know what has worked for me. First off, let me be clear. … Continue reading →
As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly. Proverbs 26:11 Yeah, that is me. In fact I put a reference to that in my loading notebook as I was cooking up this load.  While I was there, I did a quick review of … Continue reading →
Well, I see I have not written in a month. My apologies to y’all. I have been busy. It all started the weekend after my last post. Moose and his girlfriend, Sarah, came down to camp. Saturday morning, Sarah and KYHillChick were doing breakfast dishes when all of a sudden … Continue reading →
