Picture of My First Missouri Whitetail Buck Deer of 2007
Posted by Darrell under: Noteworthy Pictures; Hunting Stories.
On Saturday morning I took my first whitetail buck of 2007. I hope it isn’t my last! He is a pretty 8 point. He came by the stand I was hunting in hot pursuit of a doe that was just about 30 yards in front of him. He was moving at a pretty decent clip, so […]

Our Results From the Missouri Youth Hunt
Posted by Darrell under: Hunting Stories.
Last year my son got his first deer during the Misouri Youth Portion hunt. This year, both he and his sister, got skunked. Such is deer hunting.
It is hard to not feel like a failure when you are unable to put your children on deer. My children view me as some sort of hunting expert. […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]
