Missouri Deer Hunting Season Coming to a Close

Posted by Darrell under: Whitetail Deer.

………. Well, I haven’t done a very good job of keeping the blog updated this season. My apologies!
Unfortunately, I didn’t spend as much time in the woods this season as I wanted to. But, the time I did spend was certainly “quality” time. I did harvest several deer and have lots of venison in the […]

Posted by Darrell under: Whitetail Deer.

Today was the first day of the two day Youth Only Missouri firearms deer season. Caleb, 14, had been looking forward to today for months.
We started the morning in a double deer stand in an area where I have been seeing a nice 8 point buck. The buck came by at a little over 100 […]

Missouri 2009 Archery Season - Opening Week

Posted by Darrell under: Whitetail Deer; Private Ranch - Missouri.

Missouri archery season opened on September 15, 2009. I hunted the opening week pretty hard. The deer were quite elusive and I was unable to pattern them. I ended up seeing only about a dozen deer or so during the week. This was about 100 deer short of what I’m used to!
There were 5 of us […]

Assuming I did my math right, the total 2009 Spring Turkey harvest was 44,712 birds. That is 41,829 during the 3 week Spring season and 2,883 during the Spring Youth season.
Of those totals, I’m happy to admit that one of those birds taken during the Youth season was by my son Caleb. Unfortunately, Caleb […]

A Fun Day Hunting Pheasants and Chukar at Flying Feathers

Posted by Darrell under: Gun; Guides - Tips, Ideas, & Info.

Back in mid March, our friends Thad and Michelle came up from Texas for a visit. We started planning some fun stuff to do. We had all heard about Flying Feathers and so Jeff called them to see if they were still booking hunts. We caught them right at the end of the season and […]

Caleb Takes His First Pig…..

Posted by Darrell under: Archery.

I’m a little late at writing this post, but I thought I’d share the excitement of Caleb’s first pig hunt. Caleb (who is just barely a teen and who I still think about as being just a little kid) took this pig with his BOW from about 20 yards.
Caleb, my son, just started hunting with […]

Boy, I wish I could have been there with […]
