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.    

Jeff strikes again!

jeffbuck.jpgWell being that Art is a little crabby right now he says I have to write my own post! So here we go my 1st post!

I went out this morning to my lease in Eaton County knowing that the rut was in full swing. Set up in a 10 acre hardwoods where we have been seeing a lot of deer lately.  Well low and behold this bad boy stepped out at 50 yards checking one of his scrapes. I had to watch and wait him out for about 15 minutes(which seemed like an hour!).  I’m not going to lie this buck had me a little rattled!  He was as nervous as a deer gets- jumping and running at every animal that made a noise in the woods! He ended up working his way towards me and gave me a 18 yard shot, which hit perfect and he only went 50 yards before going down.

This is my 2nd biggest bow kill and my 1st big buck in a while. Hope everyone enjoyed the short version of this story. LOL.  Art, don’t worry, I have total faith in you that you will connect this weekend!
