From The Quaker Boy Forums . It just started– check them out! “ . . .So,” said the shaman, “As it turned out, the buck was just pulling my leg the whole time. All that talk about him being too gamey and tough was just a bunch of hooey. Those … Continue reading →
From The Quaker Boy Forums — just started. The wind was stiff enough that it blew the door open as soon as it came unlatched. It was snowing lightly, but it wasn’t cold enough to stick. It was cold, it was muddy. It looked like the sky was going to … Continue reading →
Sorry I’ve been away. The day job has been rather hectic, and there has been a lot of other stuff going on as well– none of it particularly bad. For instance, the shamanic home computer died. I had to get it rebuilt. It was going on three years old in … Continue reading →
I’m back from the hunt, with the 7600 back on the bench and a doe at the processor. I looked over the Garand Friday night and the 7600. The 7600 looked like it would be easier to clean after a drenching. I left the Garand in the case. Yes, it … Continue reading →
Armednfree: I hear what you’re saying. I’ve got a case of whatever it is as well. It manifests itself a bit differently with me, but there two main factors at work here. One is hormones and the other is attitude. The big thing that hits you as you get older … Continue reading →

Sorry I’ve been away. It’s been the day job, and a bunch of other stuff. I’ll get you caught up and then let you know what’s cooking for the summer: Turkey Season 2006: I had two close calls over 4 days of hunting, and then the weather turned ugly and … Continue reading →
The buck I shot on Opening Day was ready at the processor. Angus and I showed up around noontime Saturday to pick it up. The guy at Meyers in Lennoxburg went into the freezer and came out tray after tray of frozen wrapped venison. It was a LOT of dead … Continue reading →
There was a lot that happened this weekend. Saturday was one of my all-time successful hunts. However, I did not end up with any meat on the pole. I have often said that a day in the field hunting teaches me more about myself than a year of doing anything … Continue reading →
I was on over at www.racksandspursclub.com. It’s a fairly new board, and one that I would heartily recommend to everyone. Anyhow, I lifted a thread from over there. I guess my point in including it here is similar to what I said to one of my younger buddies after we … Continue reading →
