This may be weird to y’all, but there is nothing that quite compares in my life to being away from camp for 2-3 months and then coming back in. I spend the whole winter fretting about the place. It’s weathered ice storms, tornado and so on, and it is always … Continue reading →
Supercore made it over to the house yesterday for some tutoring. Now mind you, I used to work for this guy when I taught at the local college, so I felt the need to do this right. Supercore brought a couple of candidate shotguns, but neither had the right stuff. … Continue reading →
Well, not really cheap bullets. “The Case for the Standard Hunting Bullet for Whitetail Deer,” is probably more accurate, but it sounds like a master thesis. This is just a rant. “The Case Against Premium Bullets” sounds mean spirited and negative. I am going to speak heresy here. I am … Continue reading →
This comes from a discussion of the current PA deer harvest restrictions going on at Grizzly Gary’s Forum PA ANTLER RESTRICTIONS/HERD REDUCTION 2008 REPORTS This is addressed to everyone who has responded on this thread. I don’t mean to be picking on anyone in particular. First off, let me just … Continue reading →
It was in the early post- season that the shaman emerged from his laboratory at deer camp with a proud “Eureka!” “Scooter,” said the shaman, “ I’ve been trading e-mails with my old buddy Nosmo, and we think we’ve got an idea on how to get the anti-telepathy hat idea … Continue reading →
Here it is getting on towards Christmas, and I haven’t written much in a month. I didn’t mean to go on hiatus. It just turned out that way. I started to write this last weekend while I was at Deer Camp cleaning up and getting the place shut down for … Continue reading →
When I look back on this season, I’ve had a several opportunities at bucks and countless opportunities on doe. The main reason I haven’t had anything on the meat pole is that I was hoping to see a big rack come in. Last night, I finally decided enough was enough. … Continue reading →
Well, that was a ride! I had near constant deer activity from legal hunting +30 minutes to quitting at 1100. It was mostly all doe, with a couple of small bucks scattered here and there. One was a forker, the other an immature 8 pointer. If I had been looking … Continue reading →
The past few years, I’ve been putting out a sort-of diary from turkey camp and deer camp on this forum or that. I figured this would be as good a place as any. I arrived yesterday afternoon and filled the fridge and freezer out in the shed. That’s a donation … Continue reading →
I promised myself that I’d not shoot anything with the crossbow unless it was special. I’ve been watching does and such go buy since early October. Last weekend I nearly pushed the safety off when a nice little 8-pointer came by. I held up . Today was much different. I … 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 →
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 →
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 →
