    Care package

    I was talking with a buddy who was recently deployed.. Asked him if I could send him anything, he says "Beef Jerky!!" I says "OKAY! Anything else?" He says "Nah, not really.." Me "No turkey killin videos? Duck killin videos?" "Yeah, those would be good too" So, he really won't give...

    Turkey Success Photos

    Shot my last Missouri bird yesterday morning. Roosted the birds the night before, but miscalculated a little on where they went up, and ended up kicking 5 hens of the roost. Was pretty bummed about that, but a bird down from us was pretty fired up, so we sat down in our intended spot. As it...

    Turkey Success Photos

    Warning, graphic. Called a bird in yesterday. He hung up bad at 50 yards, then suddenly decided to commit. He didn't give me a shot until he was 12 steps away. The Indian Creek choke tube did a number on him. I think I got him with a decent percentage of the pattern.

    Snuck across the border...

    Snuck back across the border yesterday, to finish up my Kansas season. Drove 2 hours to the spot, walked a half mile to the corner of a wheat field, arriving to my spot at about 6:10. Bird gobbles, we sit down, he gobbles a few more times before I finally call. At about 6:30, he came off...

    Snuck across the border...

    ...Into Kansas, to chase a few jayhawks on the archery opener. Had an insane day, and I literally could have shot jakes on about 15 different occasions. We called in 4 strutters at about 930, and my buddy was able to connect. He left shortly thereafter. From the time he left, until 130...

    NM sheep, oryx and ibex

    Just got this in an email from NMGF. Not cool to change the game on everyone for this draw, after everyone had already committed... Court ruling gives New Mexico resident hunters better odds in drawings for bighorn sheep, oryx and ibex ALBUQUERQUE – New Mexico resident hunters scored a big...

    San Juan River Outfitters

    Any one have any experience with this outfit? I'm really considering a drop camp hunt, just to get the better odds. Since NM likes non residents with outfitters much more than they do without, my odds about double, just by getting into the guided pool. I spent about an hour on the phone with...

    Shed hunt

    Took a walk behind the house on Saturday, to look for some sheds.. I saw this one from about 50 yards away or so, across the creek, so I stopped, got my camera ready, and waited to see how it would unfold with the dog. About 30 seconds after I saw it, she ran by the area and ran past the shed...

    "Old" Members Introduction (with pics)

    In real life, I'm Brad to most. I've lived nearly all of my life in the Kansas City area, where I've got a serious addiction to killing deer, and stacking up gobblers and ducks. When I'm not playing, I work for a high net worth niche insurance company. I spend a bunch of time in the office...

    Tag Soup 2013!!!!

    After dining on some not so delicious tag soup on a 2012 Colorado elk hunt, I found a new area that looked fun to try. After months of google earth research, and several PM's back and forth from Ivorytip, I had settled on the drainage I would hunt. On our first afternoon, we packed in about 2...

    New Mexico 'Guided' definition

    In looking at the New Mexico hunting rules and info, you can apply in the guided pool, provided you have a signed contract with a guide, and spend at least two days in the field with said guide.... So, with most guided or drop camp hunts lasting 5 or 6 days, and the season lasting slightly...

    Grease

    We've been working the geese over the last week or so, right outside of town. I've almost forgotten how nice it was to wake up at 6:30, drive 10 minutes, and be at the spot.. We've mostly been hunting a bean field that's cropped closer than my front yard, so I haven't been able to use my dog...

    Wyoming sheep and moose.. Is it possible?

    So, I'm sitting here, trying to avoid doing any real work, and was looking at possibly considering starting to build points in Wyoming for a future moose or sheep hunt. At 31 years old, and with 0 points, it would most likely be impossible to draw a high demand unit in my lifetime, but is it...

    If your dog cuts her ear...

    It will bleed... Profusely. Once you get the bleeding to stop, she will stand up and shake, breaking open the wound, and flinging blood all over your wife's kitchen. When you reapply pressure for 30 more minutes and stop the bleeding, she will shake again, breaking the clot again, this time in a...

    Ducks

    Had a really fun hunt yesterday with a good friend. Ended up with full limits of 4 GWT, 7 mallards, and 1 widgeon that I just couldn't pass up. I'm not sure why I waited as long as I did to get a dog. I love hunting over her, she's a machine... Still sky watching after the hunt is over, and...

    Dinner

    Every year, when I head out west, the wife take a trip somewhere tropical with her mother. This year, her trip started righ after I got back, forcing me to fend for myself. Tonight, I had to eat these duck kabobs. They were terrible

    Teal

    Took the pooch out for her first official duck hunt this weekend, and got into a good bunch of birds this morning, killing limits in about 25 minutes or so. The dog is really starting to improve, as she figures out its much easier to find the birds if she takes the time to watch them get shot...
