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 […]

Pictures of My Two Turkeys Taken Friday Morning - One Has 11 1/2″ Beard!
Posted by Darrell under: Turkey; Hunting Stories.
Have you ever planned a morning hunt and then over slept? I have. I did. I was sick. As I drove out to the cabin yesterday morning, I was having a hard time keeping a positive attitude. I overslept by about an hour and I was afraid my hunt was ruined. I didn’t make it to my […]

Missouri Fall Turkey Seasons
Posted by Darrell under: Turkey.
Hunting Missouri Turkeys in the Fall is about as much fun as you can have. The two most common ways to hunt turkey in the fall is to 1) walk until you find them, bust them, and then call them back in or 2) ambush them.
Yesterday, I decided on an ambush. You have to remember […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
