I’m leaving to hunt Elk in New Mexico soon! I absolutely cannot wait. As you all know, there is a lot of work that goes into preparing for a hunting trip. Cabellas and Bass Pro are both profiting from my preparations.

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.

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
