I just want to put out a big howdy to all you guys that are planning on hitting the Walmart in Maysville Kentucky at 2130 EST this next Friday night. From what I understand from my correspondents, there are a bunch of you that are making this pilgrimage, to the … Continue reading →
I don’t think I need to explain this one. Let me know if there are any questions. I’m still trying to find out out the source. Somebody sent this to me. If you are the author, I’d love to hear from you. Views: 2 Related posts: The Sport of Not-Hunting … Continue reading →
Over on 24hourcampfire.com we all got together back in 2005 and decide that Christmas on Dec 25 was just not cutting it for us hunters and that we’d all move our serious gift-giving to The Feast of Saint Hubert on 11/3. It really bites if you’re getting a rifle or … Continue reading →
Check this out on 24hourcampfire.com Daylight Saving and the effect on White tail!! swoosh23 New Member This weekend I was informed by a fellow hunt club member that we would be at a real big advantage on todays (sunday) hunt because the deer would be off thier normal pattern by … Continue reading →
Woods Walker said: What….no scent-loc version??? And that green camo…..now THAT’S a joke! By the time the clock change occurs, most of the green is out of the woods in most areas. You need to have one in Realbush “Last Week Of October” pattern, so that it “blends” with the … Continue reading →
It’s kind of goofy and strange that here I go all the way to KY every weekend to hunt, and yet I take a turn out to the local shopping mall to get the best look at a buck in situ all season. Tonight KYHillChick went out looking for a … Continue reading →
NOW! The shaman presents! The Shamanic Camo Clock! Just $48.95 Place this revolutionary clock in front of your stand and set it to daylight savings time to reassure the deer that nothing is wrong. Scientific studies show that this clock, when used in conjunction with a proven scent control plan … Continue reading →
This is in response to: Higher Priced Non-Resident License, a thread over on KentuckyHunting.net I am a resident of Ohio, and hunt exclusively in Zone 1. Kentucky affords me a much better opportunity to hunt deer and turkey. My family owns 200 acres in Bracken County. I’ve written several times … Continue reading →
Dang! I’m missing all those threads about “How is the change from DST going to affect the deer?” I always howl when I find one of them. Occasionally I get the devil in me and start posting stuff about how the deer get confused and start getting up in the … Continue reading →
I’ve finally done some serious hunting with the crossbow. I had it out a few times over the weekend in between hunting for turkey with Angus. Nothing really went wrong with any of it. It just wasn’t as much fun as my bow and certainly not like a rifle. For … Continue reading →
Last year I did a bunch of posts on my testing of UV-suppression in relation to deer hunting. You’re welcome to go look. Use the search function and look for on keywords like “UV-Killer” “elephant repellent” “useless” and so on. I had several posts last Fall , all the way … Continue reading →
I held Angus out of school this morning. He was all worked up over the LCROSS Mission, and frankly so was I. We got up early to watch on the Nasa stream. It turned out to be a major boregasm (sigh!) They don’t make moon shots the way they used … Continue reading →
(Or is that Moron ?) I got to keep saying to myself “CFAB!” “CFAB!” You’d think, starting way back in July, I’d be all ready for my first season with the crossbow. I am, but just barely. Honestly I missed my target of hunting with it last weekend for the … Continue reading →
I was thinking again yesterday about what keeps me in deer hunting. Part of it is certainly just habit, but then you would have to have a serious habit to go through all the trouble I go through every year. Part of it is now probably that worship us old … Continue reading →
I’ve been talking about a rain gun here. I’ve been getting email from folks wanting to know what I mean, and asking if this gun or that qualifies as a rain gun. Let me explain. For a lot of people, there is no such thing. They take a rifle, take … Continue reading →
So yesterday Moose, Angus, and I went squirrel hunting. Moose ran into the bionic squirrel: took 5 rounds of #6– kept getting back up and trying to climb the tree. Angus and I went out onto a finger ridge we seldom travel, and found a good spot for the ladder … Continue reading →
It all started back in 2008 when I realized there was an ideal spot for a treestand that would cover the length of two food plots I put up a buddy stand; and pulled two deer out of the plots that year. I’d been spoiling for years to put up … Continue reading →
From “Resident Does” on the D&DH Forum DoeEyed Super Member From: Door County, WI. How many does do you think would reside on 57 acres? Our land is a mix of open field, cedar swamp and thick bedding area on the west; open field in the middle behind our house … Continue reading →
This is a condensation of my comments regarding a thread on D&DH regarding the following question: I’m wondering about legal shooting times for bow hunting, specifically last light… If the law reads you have to quit at 5:00 p.m for example, do I have to be out of the woods … Continue reading →
I certainly can tell the difference between deer — buck vs. doe, young vs. old. In fact, I can tell you that over time you can learn to discern between individual deer. The reason I say this is based on two things that came together in my family. First off, … Continue reading →
Once, way way back, I shot a buck and had to drive it back to town before I could gut it. Never again. It was a strange set of circumstances, that kept me from cleaning the deer. The buck had laid out for about an hour before I found him, … Continue reading →
Dang! If you’ve been seen the “This site’s been hacked!” warning for the past few days, you’re probably wondering what the shaman did to deserve it. The answer is absolutely nothing. I had a link to bloglinker.com. It’s one of the digests that catalogs and recommends blogs. Somehow it got … Continue reading →
First off, I want to plug Steve Gruber’s new show, Deer City USA. I haven’t seen it yet, but the following conversation is mostly about Steve and the show. I orginally posted my blog entry “Deer Porn” as a new thread on the Deer & Deer Hunting Forum: Deer Porn … Continue reading →
I’m hoping we can piece the remains of the new shooting house back together, and get a couple of new stands set up over the new food plots. Angus is still a yute, I’d like to see him bag something early in Yute Season Moose is probably due for a … Continue reading →
Here’s the site I always recommend for this sort of thing: http://fw.ky.gov/mineral.asp I know the guy who wrote a bunch of these pages. I hunt with his Dad. Just to give you an update on my mineral lick progress: My last refresh was before Memorial Day. I had refreshed two … Continue reading →
