Spearfishing Lake Ouachita - Central Arkansas
Posted by Darrell under: SPEARFISH HUNTING!; Arkansas.
Last week, several friends and I (along with our families) headed down to Lake Ouachita in Central Arkansas for a little R&R. We rented a houseboat for the 11 of us and headed out onto the magnificent lake.
To be honest, most of our time was spent simply relaxing. Relaxing for us inlcudes: swimming, wakeboarding, hillbilly […]

Oklahoma Elk Hunters and Turkey
Posted by Darrell under: Elk; Colorado; Hunting Stories.
On the second day of my recent Colorado archery elk hunt I ran in to some old boys from Oklahoma. Its funny, because I consider myself to be a fairly hard core hunter. These ole boys make me look like a girl scout.
Jeff and I were working our way along a ridge towards a valley […]

Falling In A Hole - Smarter Than A Coon
Posted by Darrell under: Elk; Colorado; Hunting Stories.
On day 6 of my recent Colorado archery elk hunt, I fell into a hole - literally. I was hunting by myself working my way down into a really knarly canyon. I had dropped down from the top about 1,000 feet and was working my way across the side of this mountain. As I was hiking […]

Hillbilly Surfing - Video & Story
Posted by Darrell under: Missouri; Noteworthy Video.
If you live in the Ozarks, like I do, you get used to strangers instantly thinking you must be a hillbilly. When you shoot flaming arrows to light brush piles you realize that the strangers are probably right. Of course, shooting arrow with fireworks attached, ranks right up there on the hillbilly scale.
In the Ozarks, […]

Trade Hunting Time With My Son For A Rolex Watch? NEVER!
Posted by Darrell under: Alaska; Rantings Of An Outdoorsman.
Within the past few days I did a couple different posts about the cost of my Alaska Spring Bear Hunt (the thrill hasn’t wore off yet). On the first post I detailed how much it costs to have my bear meat processed and shipped to me. It ended up being just a little over $5 […]
