Iowa Pheasant Hunting
Posted by Darrell under: Hunting Stories.
I’d never been pheasant hunting before my recent trip to Iowa. It was my first time. To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect or how much I’d like it. To be really honest, I’ve never done any hunting I didn’t like, but I figured there always could be a first. Dana, my hunting partner, warned […]

Iowa Deer - Day 5 - Chris Gets A Buck In The Cornfield
Posted by Darrell under: Hunting Stories.
Chris, Dana and I hunted together again. The day, like all the previous ones consisted of lots of drives. The weather was bitterly cold and it was windy. We saw fewer deer and the ones we saw were really getting smart. They broke in different places and ran different directions then they had been running […]

Iowa Deer - Day 4
Posted by Darrell under: Hunting Stories.
The deer are getting smarter. They aren’t falling for our bag of tricks anymore. They are starting to take different escape routes and if they would have ran North yesterday, they are running South today.
There wasn’t much shooting today. We saw lots of deer, but anything shootable was making sure we didn’t get a shot. […]

Iowa Deer - Day 3 - I Got A Buck
Posted by Darrell under: Hunting Stories.
The day started for Dana, Mike, Chris and I at a crisp 13 degrees Fahrenheit with 20+ MPH winds. For anyone that doesn’t know, this translates into “COLD”. We headed over to the South field and set up for a drive. Chris and I both took up spots on the terraces to the North of […]

Iowa Whitetail Deer Season - Day 2
Posted by Darrell under: Hunting Stories.
Dana - 2, Me - 0
I’ll start by saying that I’ve never seen deer run like Iowa deer. If you jump one, he or she will likely run for at least a mile, sometimes further. I still haven’t gotten to take a shot at one that wasn’t on a full out dead run. Maybe tomorrow?
Day 2 was […]

Opening Day of Iowa Whitetail Deer Season
Posted by Darrell under: Hunting Stories.
The weather man wasn’t too far off. We awoke to hard freezing rain, a good coating of ice on the ground, trees, and vegetation, and heavy winds out of the south east. It was about 25 degrees farenheit and felt like zero. What a fine day for deer hunting.
We drove out to the spot where […]

Texas Archery Whitetail: BBD!
Posted by Darrell under: Hunting Stories.
I did finally take a nice whitetail buck while in Texas. It was my second whitetail buck of 2007. November 24, 2007. A good day to take a buck!
The buck I ended up getting was a great 8 pointer and would have most people back home in Missouri where I hunt pretty darn excited. Unbelievably, it […]

The Kevlar Coated Whitetail Deer Of Central Texas
Posted by Darrell under: Hunting Stories.
Some stories are probably better off left untold. Some stories are so far fetched that only eye witnesses will ever believe them. This is one of those stories - and I swear it’s true.
I spent last week in central
Texas visiting some good friends – Thad and Michelle. My family, my friend Jeff and his wife, […]

Out of The Deer Woods and Back to The Grind - 2007 Firearms Deer Season Recap
Posted by Darrell under: Hunting Stories.
I’m back from the woods. Firearms season is ending and it will be back to stealing a morning or evening here or there for my archery hunts. I love the outdoors and it is difficult to leave ‘em to get back to the daily grind.
This was a tough season for many of my usual hunting partners and […]
