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 →
There have been many seasons that have ended out in the middle of a field somewhere, with me clutching an unused tag and railing at the heavens for the unfairness of it all. Then there would be the long drive home in the dark, trying to explain to myself how … 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 →
My technique with Tink’s is 5 film canisters filled with a 6X1″ strip of polyester fake fur– anything fluffy will do. Polyester hold scent pretty well. I got mine by shaving strips off an old baby blanket. I also have 4 1 foot long strips of the fake fur tied … 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 →
When Barney started showing his precocity in the first few months we had him, I knew this was going to be the best dog I would probably ever know, let alone own. It’s been a wonderful nine years. It’s been great having a friend that could communicate what life is … Continue reading →
Kentucky Muzzleloader season has come and gone. There were no deer on the meat pole to show for the weekend. The Hawken is back on the bench, and will soon be in the safe. It performed flawlessly, but the only two shots were into the ground to empty it out … Continue reading →
Moose and I were up in the stand called Campground for the opening of 2006 KY Yute Season. Local sunrise was at 0740. By 0805 Moose had a doe down. He had sent one round from the Garand through both lungs and the heart. Her legs buckled and she crumpled. … Continue reading →
Angus, age 8, passed Hunter Ed in Bracken County on 10/7/2006. Herb Rumsford had announced his retirement after 15 years as a hunter safety educator, so George Mountjoy stepped in at the last minute. Angus got only 2 wrong on the test and was most pleased with himself. Dad was … Continue reading →
I’m not trying to crow here. I’ve done so little over the past five years to make this happen, it would be hard to take credit. As late as the end of last season, I had a hunter ask me, “Why is it you never see and bucks around here?” … Continue reading →
