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.
From Field to Wall

I received an email yesterday from my sister’s boyfriend. Inside was something of a surprise – I just didn’t think that he would have his mount back from the taxidermist already. But lo and behold, there in the email for everyone to see, was Justin’s November buck from last year.
It’s a pretty good looking mount, and I think it looks great up on the wall. Of course my goal now is to shoot one this year that looks just like it, so that it can be hung on the opposite wall of my turkey mount.
Taxidermy is definitely an art, and I think that Justin’s buck was made into a pretty good piece of artwork.
Now when’s it my turn?

That is definitely a good looking mount! I’ve noticed when mounts fail, it is usually around the nose, mouth, and eyes. This one looks great. You can’t complain about the quick service either!
That looks very nice. I hope all of us get one like that this year.
Nice mount. Looks good on everyone’s wall but mine.
I must agree with the previous comments. The buck looks very life like – it is searching the air for a scent.
Nice mount!
Nice! I know how you feel.. I’m still waiting for my first mount. I’m hopeful that this is the year.
