An Awesome Job for An Outdoorsman (or Outdoorswoman)
Posted by Darrell under: Blogging About The Outdoors.
A few days ago I received an email from someone at Bonnier Corporation about a job opening they had. The job position is online editor of OutdoorLife.com! Pretty exciting. Outdoor Life being my favorite magazine and all. Unfortunately, I’m not in a position to pursue a job like this one so I thought I’d post […]

Where Are You?
Posted by Darrell under: Blogging About The Outdoors.
I keep getting emails from people asking “where are you” and “have you given up blogging”, so it is time to set the matter straight. I’m still around and doing fine. I certainly haven’t given up blogging about the great outdoors. I’ve just slowed down a little for now.
I’ve been busy - just like every […]

Outdoor Accolades: Interview With Jim Zumbo
Posted by Darrell under: Blog Posts of Note.
I haven’t done an Accolades post in a long time. Not because there haven’t been great post to point out, but because I’ve been so busy hunting and then working to make up for the time I lost while hunting. I plan to get back to these again in the near future since hunting season […]

My Whitetail Deer, Quail, & Pheasant Hunting Trip To Iowa
Posted by Darrell under: Planning a Trip.
I’m off to Iowa. Actually, by the time you read this - I’ll be in Iowa, happily hunting for giant whitetail deer. My friend Dana invited me to accompany him to his family farm for this season’s whitetail deer hunt. The ‘farm’ is apparently over 7,000 acres of Iowa rolling hills, all planted in corn; except the treed wind […]

Need Private Land To Hunt? Become A Teacher!
Posted by Darrell under: Tips & Ideas.
The other day I was in a local taxidermist shop and I noticed that a bunch of pictures of HUGE bucks on his wall all featured the same hunter. So, I asked him about the pictures.
It turns out that the guy in the pictures just started bow hunting 5 or 6 years ago. During this […]

How Texans Handle Poachers!
Posted by Darrell under: Blog Posts of Note.
I wrote recently about an encounter with poachers while deer hunting with my children during the Missouri Youth hunt. Anyone that has ever had a run in with or had a hunt ruined by poachers can understand my frustration and desire to go after them.
Well, my blog friend Jon Bryan put up a story yesterday […]

When Travelling With A Bow - Take Spare Parts Or A Spare Bow
Posted by Darrell under: Tips & Ideas.
On the third day of my recent Colorado Elk hunt I had a semi-harrowing experience. I dragged the fiber optics off of my bow site. The result was that I could only see the pins if they were against a bright clearbackdrop - like the sky. Unfortunately, there aren’t any deer or elk in the sky so I […]

Cheap Hosting: 3 Months of Hosting For $3 at Skinny Moose!
Posted by Darrell under: Blogging About The Outdoors.
Steve Remington put up an article today about a promotion Skinny Moose is running on hosting services. I didn’t even know they offered hosting services but they have a great deal. They can host sites for as little as $6.95 month or $79.95 per year. That seems just crazy cheap!
But, what is amazing is that […]

My Vision: Inspire People To Enjoy The Outdoors
Posted by Darrell under: Blogging About The Outdoors.
Back on the 10th of July, I did a post about the importance of having Vision. In that same article, I readily admitted that I did not have a clear vision for my blog. And, without a Vision, I couldn’t have a Mission. I also promised to let you know when I had a Vision […]

Archery Practice Games - Just Horsing Around
Posted by Darrell under: Tips & Ideas.
The adage is “practice makes perfect”. This is true in many sports, but none more so than archery (or bowhunting). And, with bowhunting your first shot must count. You don’t want to non-fatally wound an animal or spend 12 hours of your life tracking one. So, you need to practice and then practice some more.
