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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

Iowa Deer 2008 - Day 3
Posted by Darrell under: Whitetail Deer.
It wasn’t nearly as cold or windy today. In fact, it got up to the mid 40’s. It felt like we were in the tropics. Anyway, you could call today “Dana’s Day”. He was the star of the show and Chris and I were the spectators.
Dana always claims to be a “meat hunter”. The size […]
