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.    

First Deer Down!

Posted By: Arthur on November 11, 2008 in Deer Hunt Reports, Hunting - Comments: 8 Comments »

img_1361.jpgMy buddy Dave finally came through.  After a few years of hunting, and a few close encounters, he scored on this nice six pointer last Thursday.

This is Dave’s first deer EVER!  He started shooting with us a few years back, and after a few hunts with us, and then getting the chance to hunt some property with another friend, he officially scored.

p1010733.jpgI’m telling you, last Thursday was the day to be in the woods.  Jeff shot his buck that morning, Dave shot his buck that morning, and Dave’s buddy-that he was hunting with-shot an 8 point that morning as well.  And where was I?  At a work conference.  Remember what I said about bad luck yesterday?  There’s more proof (as if you needed it).

It has been one heck of a week for shooting bucks.  Matthew shot his, Uncle Jim shot his, Jeff shot his, Dave shot his, Dave’s buddy shot two (both of which I will have pics soon.  Someone forgot to save them today),  and Justin, the sister’s boyfriend, shot his last night.

It was been one heck of a week around here.  And congrats to Dave on his first deer.  The first one is always the hardest, so it should be smooth sailing from here on out.

    Our hunting buddy shot a little 8 pointer last week too – its going in my freezer tomorrow! Hubby would have shot one or two, but I’ve got an “if it wasn’t for bad luck” story for Friday all about that…

    Congratulations Dave! Here’s hoping that this is the first of many.

    Nice work, Dave! Keep the passion and I hope to see you continue your success.

  8. [...] bucks down as well.  My sister’s boyfriend shot his a few weeks back,  and my buddy Dave shot his as well – even my 10yr old nephew got his first deer.  Anyone see a deer around here for [...]
