I have had an idea rolling around in my head for some time, and I have finally gotten it to gel. I thought I would throw it up here, and have y’all comment on it. First off, let me throw out two basic statements:1) There is no such thing as … Continue reading →
I’ve been at it now for over 40 seasons. I write for the outdoors, I’ve been a pro-staffer, and I’ve made a bunch of calls. Let me let you in on a basic truth: turkey calls are there to mostly attract hunters and not turkeys. I’m not going to say … Continue reading →
Back in the spring, I had just come from the appointment with the oncologist where I had scheduled my Chemo treatments. I drove out to the farm and went turkey hunting the next day. I bagged a nice gob and then. . . well, I spent a good long time … Continue reading →
I am not going to try and paint this rosier than it is. It is Sunday morning of KY Early Muzzleloader season. I’m wimping out and sipping coffee inside the cabin. The only one of the Shamanic Dream Team who is out is SuperCore. With the recent Chemo, at least … Continue reading →

I figure now would be a good time to let y’all know how it’s going. I did not want you to be thinking I was all curled up in a ball somewhere with tubes coming out of me in all directions. The truth is, I’m feeling pretty darn good approaching … Continue reading →

This did not take a whole lot of editing, but it turned out pretty well. I was out earlier today in the fog and managed to bring a gobbler in and close the deal. Some quick notes. First off, the extraneous pops and cracks is water dripping off the trees. … Continue reading →
The 2022 Kentucky Spring Gobbler Season started about as well as any. It rained overnight but stayed in the mid-fifties. The last shower evaporated a few miles from us just as we were heading out. It looked like things were going well. They did, just not for me. Angus and … Continue reading →
. . . Or Life Comes at you Fast. . . . Or something like that. The countdown clock just passed 1 Day, One Hour, and 1 Minute to the Spring Gobbler Opener. I’m leaving for camp some time this morning. The past couple of weeks have been a bit … Continue reading →
