Oklahoma Spring Pigs With a Bow

Posted by Darrell under: Archery.

After Spring Turkey season ends there isn’t much hunting until the Fall - unless you happen to fortunate enough to live somewhere that has a Spring Bear season OR close to some wild pigs.
Several of us took a day recently to stalk some pigs with our bows. There were10 guys and we took 23 pigs! All […]

The Hunters (Including Me) Are In The Woods!

Posted by Darrell under: Whitetail Deer.

I’ve received a couple emails lately asking where I’ve been. Apparently, a few people have noticed that I’ve missed a few days posting on the ole blog lately and I haven’t been commenting near as much on the blogs of my outdoor blogging buddies.
The reason for all this is simple. I’ve been hunting. It is deer […]

Venison in The Freezer! and My Game Log

Posted by Darrell under: Whitetail Deer; Game Log.

Well, the meat isn’t in the freezer yet, but it will be by tomorrow afternoon.  
I got my first deer of the 2007 season! It isn’t a giant buck, but I won’t care while I’m eating it. I let several does walk before (for some odd and unexplainable reason) deciding to shoot this one. She offered […]

My Friend Mike’s Buck

Posted by Darrell under: Whitetail Deer; Hunting Stories.

 
While I was traipsing around Colorado, looking for elk while trying to climb out of holes,  my friends Mike and Matt were back home taking advantage of Missouri’s opening weekend of archery whitetail deer season. Mike spent opening weekend hunting out at Matt’s and it paid off nicely. Him and his Mathews Switchback hooked up to […]

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 […]

Posted by Darrell under: Elk; Colorado; Hunting Stories.

Day 7 - The three of us made our way back up the mountain that our guide had taken us to on day 3. Billy and I called in a giant bull. I never saw it because of where I was sitting and where he came in from. But, apparently, he got to within 30 […]

2007 Colorado Archery Elk Hunt - Days 4-6

Posted by Darrell under: Elk; Colorado; Hunting Stories.

Welcome to Hell!  
Day 4 - In the morning, I accompanied Jeff and Billy back to the area we had hunted on day 2. We jumped a large herd of mule deer, including 3 monster bucks. All would have been EASY bow shots.  (Of course I wasn’t even carrying a bow as mine was back at […]

Attacked By A Buck That Didn’t Even Wipe

Posted by Darrell under: Whitetail Deer.

I read a story (that Rex suggested) entitled Never Rope a Deer and found myself laughing and remembering my own close encounter with an enraged deer. My story took place when I was just barely 16, but I remember it like yesterday.
I had driven out to this spot a couple miles from camp and about a 1/4 […]
