Now you have to understand that I ran an underground radio station in High School, and started out going to college to be a radio announcer. It has been about 35 years since I pulled shift on the radio, but I still enjoy being a ham at the mike. Ever … Continue reading →
UPDATE: 1024 ET It’s done!!! 0822 ET: If this post looks wonky, there is a good reason. I woke up early this morning and decided to add mobile device support for the weblog. In order to do this, I am going to load a new theme. That is long overdue anyway.  … Continue reading →
There is a lot going on despite Deer Camp being closed for close to a month. Believe me, I miss it. Turkey Camp will not open up until nearly March. I just started the countdown to the start of season– 14 weeks. Yikes! Y’all have been very busy. This humble … Continue reading →
I’ve been thinking about this situation. I’ve figured out something: We need to outlaw matches, lighters and all manner of devices that start fires. This is the root of all that is evil in this country. Arguments to the contrary are getting tired and unrealistic. Look at the statistics: http://www.cdc.gov/homeandrecreationalsafety/fire-prevention/fires-factsheet.html … Continue reading →
If my first .22 had been anything like the rest of my shooting experience, I would now be a tropical fish enthusiast. If memory serves me, it was a Savage. It was semi-auto. It had a birch stock and the pressed checkering looked like it had been done at home … Continue reading →
I am putting the deer rifles away for the year. Yes, my tail is still dragging, but I figure coming away with a zip is better than it could be. A day spent at Deer Camp is usually going to be better spent anywhere else. My mind still wanders back … Continue reading →
I could have been out for late ML season in KY this weekend, but between the rain and the dismally few deer that seem to be on the property at the moment, I figured that it would be better to stay home, clean guns, and count the ammo. It has … Continue reading →
Forty Years ago, I remember a writer for a fishing magazine proposing a time machine for every tackle box. You get to the bait shop and everyone is saying “You should have been here last week. Boy, were they biting!”  I was reminded of that when stopping in to the … Continue reading →
First it was the Reds, then the Bengals, then the Republicans. There is a lot that sort of thing running around this year. Deer hunting can have years like that too. A good part of it is the expectations. The Reds really looked like the could go all the way … Continue reading →
Angus was out for KY Yute Season yesterday. We did not bag anything, but we had a good time. The trip brought up a whole lot of issues, that I feel need airing. First off, as you know, Angus is a bagpiper. He’s not just a good bagpiper. He’s a … Continue reading →
It is just a little past sunrise, but there is a quite a bit of ground fog this morning. I sent Angus out scouting a new spot. We call it Lazy Boy. Part of it was because we’re trying to standardize the naming scheme of all our stands; this is … Continue reading →
Last year on September 18th, I posted a piece about trying out my new 30-30 rounds. Sometimes writing a weblog can be eerie. You go back and read stuff and you realize you’ve pretty much repeated yourself. Here’s the post: Reality Sets In On Sunday, I was back at the … Continue reading →
A Record Month!!! First off, I just want to say a thank you to all of you. August was the best month ever for visitors and the amount of content y’all were reading– about 20% more than the previous record back in April and double what it was a year … Continue reading →
