Choosing a new GPS…Garmin Oregon 200

Last September I spent the night under a bush in the middle of grizzly country because my group couldn’t find camp in the dark after a 6 mile hike back through the mountains. We were in the vicinity of where we had regularly seen a big sow grizzly with two 100 pound cubs. Needless to [...]

A Different kind of Deer Hunt!

I just returned from a fantastic hunt for an out of the ordinary whitetail. The small Coue’s whitetail lives in AZ, NM and Mexico, and weighs roughly 90 pounds. Though small in size, this deer is a real challenge, and a 110” B&C class Coue’s looks like he has lots of headgear.
My first two days [...]

2010 ATA Show – My Favorite New Product

 
OK…here is my favorite new product I found at ATA in Columbus – The Carbon Express Covert XB-3.5 Crossbow. Some of you may remember that my 9 year old son Drew killed a really nice buck this year with a crossbow. It was an older, recurve that was about 30+ inches across the front. Well, [...]

Texas Whitetails-Continued

Tim just supplied this hunting report from Texas, sounds like a great hunt for all involved.
 
Deer are still dropping for our group down here in TX. I have a large group of friends/colleagues in camp with writers, TV folks and manufacturers. Everyone is now hunting management and cull bucks. It is tough to find good [...]

Why Not a Muzzleloader for Christmas?

Having just finished a late season muzzleloader hunt, I was thinking what a great Christmas gift a TC Endeavor muzzleloader can be. Now let me say that I am a TC Prostaffer, so they send me their newest muzzleloader every year, so I get to try a lot of them. Over the years, I have [...]

Is the Midwest Rut over???

I would like to know your thoughts. Since a few days before Thanksgiving, I have been getting reports from all over the Midwest that buck activity has really tapered off and in some cases become virtually nonexistant.
Here in central KY, our rifle season ended Sunday the 29th. We had an extremely warm season, and most [...]

BIG OKLAHOMA BUCK DOWN – FINALLY

I have been having a nightmare of a November. I have been sick with Swine Flu, hunted hard in Nebraska, and then hunted for almost a week in Kentucky, and did not score. That is whitetail hunting, right? It is the great equalizer. You can do it all right for a week or two when [...]
