2lb Test Line Lands 38lb King Salmon!
Posted by Darrell under: Rod & Reel; Alaska.
Soldotna Alaska angler, seventeen year old Lauren Olendorff, hooked and landed a 38lb King Salmon while fishing with a trout rod from her raft. I think you could call that a good day on the Kenai River. Lauren’s incredible experience is in stark contrast to my experience using light tackle (10lb test line) and hooking […]

Friends, Snakes, Burning Vehicles, & the Duke Boys – A Saturday in the Ozarks
Posted by Darrell under: Missouri; Rantings Of An Outdoorsman.
I will admit that I wrestled with putting this post up. We were just having fun at the time, but in retrospect, it does appear a bit irresponsible. But in our defense, “who hasn’t dreamed of living the Dukes of Hazzard lifestyle?”
I never made it to work on my tree stands on Saturday (two weeks ago). […]

What Does A Lake Look Like Beneath The Surface? VIDEO and PICTURES
Posted by Darrell under: SPEARFISH HUNTING!; Arkansas; Noteworthy Video.
Lots of people ask me what the lake looks like underneath the surface. Many people, even accomplished divers, have some kind of trepidation about diving in lakes. I love it. Visibility isn’t like diving the Caribbean, but you still never know what you might see (like a giant turtle). On my last spearfishing trip, I […]

JUST ADDED - FRESH Game Camera Pics
Posted by Darrell under: Private Ranch - Missouri; Noteworthy Pictures.
I just uploaded a few new game camera pics. I love capturing wildlife on a game camera! I did a post a few weeks ago entitled “Am I A Wildlife Voyeur“. I think I got some traffic to that post from some dissapointed people. Anyhow, I just checked my cameras and got a few new […]

What Does Bear Meat Taste Like?
Posted by Darrell under: Black Bear; Alaska.
I wish I could answer that question, but I can’t exactly. I can say, unequivocally, that it doesn’t taste anything like “Chicken”! We grilled our first bear steaks last night and I wasn’t sure what to expect. We had some adventurous company over. I’ve had bear before and it was good, but this particular bear of […]

Another Great Day Of Spearfishing at Bull Shoals Lake In Arkansas
Posted by Darrell under: SPEARFISH HUNTING!; Arkansas.
On Monday, June 25 a group of friends and I made the trek to Bull Shoals Lake in Arkansas for another day of Spearfishing. I drove down to Branson on Saturday to rent our air from Branson Scuba Sports. I had 10 full tanks of air in the bed of my truck for the entire […]

Getting Permission to Hunt - Using a Permission Form
Posted by Darrell under: A Trilogy - 3 Methods of Pursuit; By Location; Tips & Ideas.
I was reading an interesting blog post about urban hunting on Rex’s Deer Camp Blog and stumbled across a link to a permission form on Cliff’s hunting sense site. You need to check out the permission form. It is very well done (professional and confidence inspiring) and downloadable as a PDF which you can simply print off.
There […]

How Much Does It Cost To Have A Bear Processed In & Shipped From Juneau, Alaska?
Posted by Darrell under: Black Bear; Alaska; Planning a Trip.
One of the questions that no one could answer for me before embarking on my recent Spring Bear hunt in Alaska was “How much does it cost to have a bear processed and shipped to me in Missouri?” I’m not sure why no one had the answer. Apparently, I asked the obvious but wrong people. But, anyway, […]

Giant Pre-historic Turtle Discovered at Bull Shoals Lake, Arkansas
Posted by Darrell under: Arkansas; Noteworthy Pictures.
During our recent spearfishing trip to Bull Shoals Lake in Arkansas, we discovered a huge fresh water turtle. I don’t know if it was pre-historic, but it certainly looked it. This turtle was as long, head to tail, as me (that’s a whopping 6′) and it’s head was 50% again bigger than mine. This turtle, which […]
