Know Thy Game, Know Thyself

Everyone goes at turkey hunting a little different. One guy wants to take a gobbler only if he has called it into him. Another guy only wants to do it with his grand-daddy’s side by side. Another fellow only feels right if he’s spent $500 on ammunition and is wearing the latest camo pattern– vest and boots matching. Another guy only wants to saddle up his bird and ride it back to camp singing “John Brown’s Body.” We all look at this sport differently.

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on by  

Back last August, I felt compelled to write a Ninety-Niner’s look at Deer Hunting. A Ninety-Niner Speaks Out About Deer Hunting In case you are wondering, a Ninety-Niner is a fellow who goes the full 99 weeks on federally-mandated unemployment compensation and then falls off the back end, still without … Continue reading →

Show a Little Compassion

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on by  

One of my shaman buddies is all into compassion right now.  I was watching his thread over on Facebook, talking about compassion. ” Compassion, compassion, compassion!”  It hit me:  how does compassion fit in with Turkey Hunting. You have to wonder some days why we go out and hunt turkeys.  … Continue reading →

Should I Reload? PT II

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on by  

Assuming you really are thinking of taking the leap, I wanted to share what you what comes next. From here on out, a lot of this is going to depend on your personal style of reloading. What is your personal style? That is hard to say, but nearly every guy I know has his own quirks. We all pretty much get there, but we get there in different ways. The bottom line is that there is more to the color of paint on the press. Each press is a little different, but whether one is better than the other is in the eye of the beholder. The same goes for all the other pieces.

Let me begin by asking some questions:

* Are you satisfied with your selection of ammunition? Can you go to the store and buy what you want?

The Role of Personal Ethics in Hunting

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on by 1

It seems that every time I go and knock Ted Nugent, I get blasted for being un-American, against the sport of hunting, and a general waste of good air.  So when I decided to comment on Ted’s latest missive on D&DH  Ethics Shmethics, I figured it was time to take … Continue reading →

Deer Hunting Rituals

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on by  

“He that outlives this day and comes safe home will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam’d, And point a finger at his mounted antlers saying ‘These wounds! These wounds, I gave on Opening Day!’ For he today that sheds blood with me shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile. This day shall gentle his condition. And Gentlemen all now in bed shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here, and hold their manhoods cheap whilst any speaks that hunted with us on Opening Day.”

The End of Season

Genesis9:2-4 Ministries Posted on by  

I was putting away all the deer guns yesterday. They have been sitting out for nearly a month. You can blame it on procrastination, but this is sort of the last thing that needs to be done before season is really over for me. You can see why it might be a little harder to do.
