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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

The day began with me shooting at and not getting a doe. […]

Today was first day of Iowa shotgun deer season. We awoke at 5:00 am to temperatures hovering around freezing and a NW wind of 20 to 30 mph. The temperature seemed to drop throughout the day and the wind never stopped. Needless to say, I spent a lot of time shivering today!

BBD! My Nice Whitetail Buck from Opening Day of 2008 Missouri Firearms Season
Posted by Darrell under: Whitetail Deer.
This monstrous buck was taken by me at about 1:30 in the afternoon on opening day of Missouri’s 2008 Firearms Season. This is the biggest whitetail buck I’ve ever taken. When I first saw this buck poking his head out from the woodline my heart probably skipped a couple beats. Even at the distance and with the […]

Fortunately, my friends, family and I were able to participate in the harvest. We had a great season and […]

Treestand and Deer Hunting Tips for the Mentally Challenged
Posted by Darrell under: Whitetail Deer; Rantings Of An Outdoorsman.
I read a post over at Big Buck Zone about a guy that was hunting on public land and walked in to find someone hunting out of his stand. I’ve heard lots of similar stories and thought I’d share my own.
Several years ago I hunted during whitetail rifle season at a large membership club. This place […]
