Well I took it down to the last weekend this year to fill my second tag, and with the exception of wounding a huge bird with an arrow, I really enjoyed my time afield. Most of my hunts were before work affairs using my bow and limited to about 1 1/2 hours at a time. This combinaton made for some...

Today was opening day of turkey season and I had about 4 hours to hunt this morning. The first spot I went to produced no gobbler sightings nor sounds, only four hens. So I wussed out and took my bow home and got my shotgun and went to another farm to hunt. I arrived about 9 am and set up a hen...

Well I received in the mail a postcard from my taxidermist stating that my deer mount was done. With great anticipation I drove the 50 miles northeast of my home to pick him up. I'm lucky I did'nt get a speeding ticket considering it took about 40 minutes or less to get there. On the way home I...

Todays hunt actually started for me yesterday evening. I watched 6 mature gobblers strutting around my hunting area just before sundown. I was pretty excited about this mornings hunt, as I knew I would be surrounded by gobbling turkeys.... wrong. Not one single gobble this morning, or all day...

Season opens here tomorrow, but I have to work all week, until Friday. Then it's 9 straight days off work to chase birds or whatever. I have a place that is bow hunting only, literally across the street from my workplace. I have been watching some toms strut there for about 2 weeks now...

In another post I mentioned how I got ripped off by a shyster posing as a taxidermist.Here is the story. I found out about this person from my brother inlaw. How she was a master taxidermist working for Jonas Brothers in Colorado. After her husband died, she relocated here in the midwest and...
