A Match made in Heaven?
She's a vegetarian. He's a hunter. You would think the two of them would never work - but, surprisingly, here they were on the dance floor sharing their first dance as husband and wife. I was intrigued. Of the two people mentioned above, I only know the vegetarian - and, honestly, I don't know her very well.  I was still intrigued, though, and not because she's a vegetarian - anyone w...
First signs of Fall
As I walked behind the mower last week, I saw them - brown, green, crisp and dead - laying there in the mower's path; they were the first visible signs that fall is almost upon us. I realize that Labor Day isn't even here yet, but the dead leaves laying in the yard, the yellowing of the beans and corn, as well as the lower morning temps, are a sure sign that fall will be here soon. This time...
Abby’s first trip to the Zoo
With summer winding down, and hunting season close to kicking into full gear, the wife and I really wanted to do one last - purely for Abby - activity.   Then, one night while reading one of her favorite books, I instantly knew where we were heading - the zoo. Abby loves to read books involving animals, and she loves to name the animals as we read through the books.  She loves all the animal...
Moving stands, checking cams: No outfitter needed!
When I'm watching outdoor television, there is nothing that gets under my skin more than hearing the person in front of the camera say something like this: "Well......we're on our way to Battle Creek Outfitters to hunt for a few days. Jim, of BC Outfitters, has been watching a few bucks during the year, so hopefully we'll have a chance at one of them in the next few days. We're gonna get a sh...
The Aftermath
It rained on July 4th. And while the rain was a welcome relief to the retreating soldiers, as well as the victorious ones, it was not welcomed by the local residents of the little Pennsylvania town.  It came down in sheets, soaking the unburied bodies still on the field - some with hands folded, and others with clenched fists; it inhibited the Army of Northern Virginia's retreat across the Pot...

Big Buck Night

Posted By: Arthur on February 16, 2008 in Local Organizations - Comments: 1 Comment »

We did attend the Big Buck Night event this evening, and I have to say, for it being the first time that this event took place in this particular location, I thought the turnout was very respectable and even exceeded expectations.

We all had a very good time, enjoyed a good meal, and had some fun chatting and talking to friends.  Of course we also got to enjoy some big buck stories and see some incredible deer that were taken in our county.  As promised Mark Thomas, a member of the QDMA board of directors was the guest speaker, and he did a very good job.  I have to be honest though, and say that his message was a little over the top for me, but his underlying ideas were very good and something I will try and use in the future.

I have to apologize because I don’t have any pictures.  We were allowed to take cameras in, but it would have been too much of a hassle to get everyone’s permission to put their pictures up on the website.  A friend of mine took some pictures of all of us at the event so when I get them from him I will share (hopefully you read this Ron).

All in all a good night, good food, and it went to a good cause.  I’m looking forward to the QDMA REACH banquet in April.

    Sounds like a great time had by all. I will be attending a seminar myself on March 4th that is being put on by the Connecticut River Valley Branch of the QDMA which I am a member of. It will be on Deer Management in CT and an Intro to Food Plot Development. I am looking forward to being there.

    Glad you had a great time and thanks for filling us in and sorry you didn’t get any pictures. It would have been nice to see.
