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.    

Crossing my fingers

Posted By: Arthur on January 17, 2008 in Hunting, Turkey - Comments: 4 Comments »

turkstmp08.jpgJust a quick little blurb to let everyone know that I put in my turkey hunting application today.  I’m crossing my fingers that I get the hunt I selected.  You have two choices when you submit your application and I went with what I thought were the best two available.

My first choice was for a hunt that will be from April 21st through May 4th.  It is available on all private lands and is the one I’m really hoping to get.  My other choice runs from May 12th through May 31st.  Not the greatest time.  I would rather have the earlier hunt and catch the Gobblers when they are looking heavily for the ladies, but I will take either.

If for some reason I’m not successful with either choice, there is a guaranteed hunt period that runs from May 5th-May31st.  That could work too, but I have yet to be turned down for the first choice I made.  That hunt has a 65,000 quota and I think my odds are pretty good.

I can check the results of the drawing starting March 3rd so everyone keep your fingers crossed.  Lets hope this year either Jeff or I can provide turkey dinner for the first time.

    Wild turkey is some good eating. My Dad shot one a couple of years ago and we made a nice dinner out of it.

    I hope you get the hunt you want. We need some good turkey hunting stories.
