Huntin’ Time Expo/My Lack of Posts
It's absolutely no secret that I've been neglectful of this blog lately. Some evidence: I never posted a few of the deer that Justin shot. I didn't post anything about Jeff, Barry, Erin, and Josh heading down to the ATA show in Columbus a little over a week ago. And I've never posted anything about the fact that SimplyOutdoors TV will be airing on the Pursuit Channel starting in January 2...
End of Deer Season: Maybe I Stink
Last night I cleaned my muzzleloader.  And though I usually love the feeling that comes with cleaning any firearm, last night's cleaning kind of depressed me a little, because it was a sure sign that another deer season had passed and that I had once again went through an entire season without putting any venison in the freezer. As I was cleaning and reflecting back on the last couple of seaso...
Bittersweet Hunt: The Rest of the Story
In my previous post, I eluded to the fact that my miss last Sunday morning was only the beginning of a very memorable morning.  Here is the "rest of the story". After my miss, it was still only a little after 8am, so Jeff and I decided that we might as well stick it out for a little while and see if any other deer decided they wanted to eat out of his food plot. And that is when the weirdne...
Bittersweet Hunt
Though I had only been able to hunt a handful of times, the fact remained that I hadn't laid eyes on a deer since around October 8th.  It was making it pretty difficult to head into the woods, because I honestly wasn't sure if I was ever going to see a deer again; I was starting to wonder if I had a deer whistle permanently embedded within my body that was preventing them from coming within a hal...
Another Deer for Jeff
While I don't have much to celebrate when it comes to deer hunting, after tonight I can bask in at least one thing:  that I told Jeff about Hornady SST's, and that, because of my wisdom, Jeff was able to put down this big doe without fear of his bullet coming apart. Congrats to Jeff.  Welcome to the dark side, and say goodbye to Powerbelts.

My brother calls me on Sunday night and asks me “Are you sitting down”?  Talk about a phrase that will definitely peak your curiosity.  It could go either way.  It could be terrible news or good news.  You just never know.  Anyway, he proceeds to tell me why.

He snuck out to our property on Sunday night and decided that him and his son would do a little shining on the property.  To make a long story short he shined seven deer and every one of them was a buck, including a wall hanger.  My nephew described it like this: “I have never shined a buck that huge”, or something like that anyway.  If only I would have saved the voicemails the brother left that begged me to call him back.  I cannot wait for season.  Cannot wait.  We did make a pact as well that we are going to check the trail cam this weekend and then we are leaving it alone until the youth hunt in a couple weeks.  That is going to be hard to do!!

    BTW, sorry to hear about the tornado damage!
