(The thought of expatriation has occurred to me, but there’s no pig hunting down there (that I know of), so I guess I’ll stay in the country for now.) Didn’t have time to preload a bunch of posts, so the fresh content will probably have to hold until I get home. Hopefully there’ll be pictures and videos and such… but sometimes when you get busy having fun, you forget you even… -

Lead Ban Chronicles - Lead Ammo Back On CA Fish and Game Commission Agenda
22 Jun 2009 | 9:51 amJune 24-25. Get it on your calendar! The CA Fish and Game Commission is meeting in Woodlands, CA on these dates, and high on the agenda are two key topics. First, there is supposed to be a report on the levels of lead found in the CA condor since the lead ammo ban was enacted. While I have my doubts as to the statistical significance of data collected so far, I’d be real interested in hearing what they do have to say, particularly since the two sick condors were found earlier this spring and winter. Of course, this case will be blamed on someone who broke the law, but watch… -
Big Fun at Native Hunt
20 Jun 2009 | 8:13 amJust got back from a great visit with Michael and crew down at Native Hunt this week. This time, I was actually helping out as a guide. There were 10 hunters on the ranch, and in order to keep the hunter-to-guide ratio as low as possible (they always strive to keep it at 2:1 or 1:1), they needed an extra hand. Since I’m particularly available these days, and any work is good work, I jumped at the opportunity to share what I know of the ranch and the animals with Michael’s clients. At the end of the second morning, the clients had taken nine hogs (several feral hogs and a…

Thomas Jefferson: Declaration Of Independence And Deterring A Dictatorship
3 Jul 2009 | 7:51 amI have been reading “The Young Jefferson, 1743-1789″ by Claude G. Bowers, written in 1945. Most of us should know that Thomas Jefferson was pretty much the author of the Declaration of Independence, even though there was a panel of 5 men appointed to draft such a document. It certainly was not smooth sailing during those days of fighting the revolution and convincing the people that the sacrifices for freedom were well worth it. It seems that only a few months prior to the signing of the Declaration of Independence, that Thomas Jefferson had quite a fight on his hands to quell a… -
Some Things Will Grow Most Anywhere
3 Jul 2009 | 5:40 amI took this photo from a lobsterman’s dock in Eastport, Maine. Running nearby to the dock I was standing on was the remains of an old pier. As you can see in the photo, vegetation of this variety has little difficulty growing on top of the remains. And of course two likely suspects don’t mind settling down in the growth while keeping a watchful eye on any likely scavenged meal.

Viginia Goose Banding
3 Jul 2009 | 5:53 pmSeveral years ago I had the opportunity to go on a goose hunting trip with one of my business associates in January. The weather was cold, the wind was bitter and we spent the entire day in the goose blind talking about life and drinking coffee and hot chocolate and we even killed some geese. The action that day was slow but the camaraderie was exceptional. Over the last several years I have tried to open up my schedule to include more of these hunts and some years have been good and others have not worked out as well.This year I already have several trips planned to get out… -
The Kruncher Call From Hunters Specialties
3 Jul 2009 | 12:12 pmDeer are always on high alert and tuned into their surroundings. The Kruncher™ Deer Call from Hunter’s Specialties® calms deer and plays on a whitetail’s feeding instinct. The Kruncher is a compact, handheld call that simulates the sound of deer feeding on acorns. This natural sound relaxes deer in the immediate vicinity of your stand. It can also call in other deer that think there is food available. It calms spooked deer, stimulates deer to feed and stops deer in a relaxed manner. Just like imitating a deer’s grunt or recreating the rattling of antlers, the sound… -

Memories of that event will fade with time, leaving your photos however, to capture the memories for a lifetime!As ethical hunters, we first need to be aware of the images we communicate to the public. Despite all the talk of hunter ethics, I still often times see photos of animals in the back of vehicles, lying in a heap with little thought given to composition, and hanging on meat poles or in garages.After recently taking a photo 1 class as an elective in college, combined with the…

Hunting the Southern Beast
3 Jul 2009 | 8:00 am-By Brandon Wikman Last weekend I flew into one of the most sought after travel destinations in the country. A place where magic meets illusion and wonder meets inspiration. I had a roundtrip ticket from Milwaukee, Wis. to Orlando, Fla. My travel bag wasn’t crammed with sporty beach-bum clothes, sun tan lotion, or chocked full of visitor brochures. I was there for one reason, which was hunting southern style. My northern roots expanded south this past weekend when I was introduced to a sweet Southern tradition called wild hog hunting.

A Bad Day Fishing Is Still Better Than a Day At Work
1 Jul 2009 | 10:03 am-By Rich Miller After nearly a week of sitting on the beach and playing in the sand, by the time Mark arrived Friday I was ready to get on the water. He did not get there until later in the afternoon and we were not sure where the tide would be by the time we got on the water. The plan was for us to go after redfish and flounder. The tide was going to be high and up in the grass, so the fish should have been in there feeding in the shallow water on fiddler crabs and bait fish. We were hoping to see the fish’s tails out of the water while they were feeding so we could cast our baits past… -
Safe In The Sun
29 Jun 2009 | 7:19 amAs the 4th of July weekend quickly approaches, many people are probably planning on doing some kind of activity outdoors. If you are like most of us outdoors people you spend a lot of time in the sun, heading outside every chance we get. We love to spend our days on the water or in the field. Success in any outdoor pursuit requires attention to detail. We spend time finding the perfect lure or the ideal site to hang our stands. One thing that is often overlooked as we head outdoors is skin protection. Sure, we may remember to slap on a little sunscreen while dove hunting in the hot September… -
A June Haircut
25 Jun 2009 | 8:30 am-By Brandon Wikman As June’s green foliage sprouts like the end of my shaggy bangs, I am reluctant to say that it’s time for some serious trimming. I typically head into the woods during this time for my ritual of summer pruning, clearing, and cutting. Trimming shooting lanes, scraping debris off of trails and marking them is important to do within the coming weeks. The acreage I hunt only encounters my handsaw about once a year. Even though one cutting seems as little as shaving a few centimeters off a thick head of hair, the results will magnify. I’ve always been told that a little…

We’re Back From Florida
9 Jun 2009 | 3:55 amI can’t believe a week away from SC can go so fast! Amy, Bo, Will and I ran down to Melbourne, FL for some rest and relaxation, but ended up doing almost as much there as we do here. We went on an unbelievably fun bowfishing trip in Orlando with Florida BowFishing Charters, a fishing trip on the Intracoastal with friends and a great hog hunt near Lake Okeechobee with Chappy’s Outfitters. And that was all on top of eating out, visiting friends and spending lots of time at the beach and pool with the kids! We really had a fantastic great time, and I look forward to sharing some of…

More Mountain Quail?
29 Jun 2009 | 9:13 pmWe went to the cabin this weekend and did some exploring in the Jeep. Driving down some higher elevation roads we saw more mountain quail in two days than i saw all year last year In one spot we saw a hen with a brood. This is a very rare sight, and a very encouraging one. All of them were between 6000 and 8000 feet elevation. I didn’t get any pictures, unfortunately. Mountain quail fertility rates are very sensitive to water availability. Snowpack was better this year than last year in the Sierras (though still below average). The point is, conditions are better for… -

Problem Solved!
16 Jun 2009 | 10:10 pmThe gunsmith fixed the scope. He says all he did was take it off and put it back on. I’ll be taking it to the range to sight it in first chance I get. I ordered 100 rounds of Brown Bear 55gr FMJ and a box of 20 Federal Triple Shock in 62 gr with the Barnes copper X Bullet for actual hunting. By the way, I was researching ballistics data for the mini when I came accross this post from Chuck Hawks. It’s kind of old, but it is a fascinating way of thinking about sighting in a rifle. Theoretically, this method maximizes the point blank range of the weapon, giving a hunter… -
Scope Problem on Mini 14
9 Jun 2009 | 7:57 pmMy son and I went to the firing range Sunday to try out our new Mini 14. I had installed a scope on it the weekend before. When we started shooting, it wasn’t even on paper. Ten or twelve shots brought it onto the paper, but it was ten to twelve inches off at best. I finally stopped shooting. On the way home, I brought it to the gun shop, where the smith found a mounting screw that was loose, and after tightening it down put it back on the bore sight. He was able to bring the elevation in fine, but the windage bottomed out at a place he estimated would put it two to…

Bass Fishin St. John's River Florida
27 Jun 2009 | 5:58 amThis shiner fishing thing is pretty awesome. Florida bass fishing is a little different than Kentucky. We don't have to avoid any big gators at home. We saw some big ones on the St. John's river. We caught quite a few bass. Not as many as I would have like but it was pretty fun. We got a late start with two flats and a broken spring on the boat trailer of our guide. We didn't get onto the water until 8:00. After some misses, my son got hot and started reeling good bass in. He also had to fight in a 20+ pound gar. It was a fun and hot day on the St. John's river. I can't wait to come back.If…

Second-generation Disposable Active Carbon Face Masks
21 Jun 2009 | 9:27 pmThe missing link in total scent control is eliminating the human odors present in the breath. Game can detect these odors more effectively than they do other foreign or human odors. The solution to human breath scent control is the new, improved Breath-Taker Camo Face Mask. This innovative disposable active carbon face mask is the only practical option for eliminating game-spooking bad breath. The Breath-Taker is a significant improvement over the first-generation ‘Smootchie’. The new Breath-Taker is an easy to use, comfortable disposable mask that contains 50 percent more…

Tales from the Timber: B-day buck
30 Jun 2009 | 6:02 pmOn Nov. 16, 1993, my brother a friend and myself attempted to draw a duck blind at Rice Lake. As usual, there were twice as many hunters as there are blinds. (To me this shows there is a need for more public hunting areas in Illinois). After standing around for a couple hours drinking coffee and smelling like an ashtray from all the fellow duck hunters’ smoking habits, we did not draw a blind. Did I mention Nov. 16 is my birthday and we love to duck hunt? We all stood in the parking lot, watching the successful hunters unloading their boats in the water when my brother and… -
Fish kill total soaring
24 Jun 2009 | 5:19 pmDue to rising water levels and hot weather, counting dead fish along the Rock River has been difficult for Illinois fisheries biologists. But sources say the count of fish killed along the Rock River could reach into the hundreds of thousands. The fish kill almost certainly stems from a train derailment and ethanol spill near Rockford last Friday. While no official report has been issued, it is believed that ethanol flowed into a creek, into the Kishwaukee River and then into the Rock River, where dead fish started to show up last Saturday. The Environmental Protection Agency has listed two… -
Tales from the Timber: First buck
23 Jun 2009 | 11:43 pmOn Oct. 29, 2008 I went to a private piece of ground in Cass County and when I got there I picked a cut corn field to sit on. So I found a spot on the edge and cleared a spot for my ground blind and set it up. After it was set up I gathered some corn stalks that are always on the edges and placed them around my blind to help it blend in a little better. When I thought everything was perfect for the hunt I unzipped and got in place for the evening. As I was sitting there i thought I heard a deer coming from the draw of woods to the cove of the field that I was sitting in. As my heart started… -
Waterfowl blind drawings ahead
17 Jun 2009 | 11:30 amSPRINGFIELD – Waterfowl hunters are encouraged to mark their calendars for upcoming waterfowl hunting blind site random drawings to be held at several public hunting areas in Illinois this summer. Duck and goose hunters must register in person for waterfowl blind site drawings and must be present at the drawing – held at each location designated below immediately after the registration period – to claim their blind sites. Mail-in registrations are not accepted. Blind allocations are good for one year, except on the Mississippi River. To participate in a drawing, applicants… -
Tales from the Timber: Bed-rest doe
16 Jun 2009 | 4:02 pmBed rest did not slow Kim Knapp of Goodfield last hunting season. Despite being 7 1/2 months pregnant and on a modified form of bed rest while carrying twins, she managed to shoot a big doe last shotgun season. Due to her pregnancy, doctors would not allow Knapp to spend time in a tree stand, something she had done ever since marrying her husband Kevin eight years earlier. But the doctors didn’t say anything about hunting out of a living room. So that’s where Knapp set up to hunt on Nov. 22. She picked the living room of her parents, Jerry and Becky Wyatt of Edwards. Fortunately,…

Arkansas Spearfishing 2009 Season Has Opened With a Bang!
17 Jun 2009 | 12:29 pmArkansas Spearfishing season opened on June 15, 2009. It was a Monday and there were fewer people on the lake then usual. My friends Jeff, Zack, Billy, and Mike met me in Bull Shoals, Arkansas on Sunday the 14th. Jeff, Zack and I did some dives Sunday to determine where the fish were holding and what to expect on Monday. We weren’t dissapointed. Over the course of 4 dives and two tanks each, we saw hundreds of catfish and walleye (yes, I said hundreds). We were all confident that we could have limited out on both Walleye and Catfish several times over! It was a little dissapointing that… -
Missouri Spring Turkey Season Results
30 May 2009 | 1:53 pmAssuming I did my math right, the total 2009 Spring Turkey harvest was 44,712 birds. That is 41,829 during the 3 week Spring season and 2,883 during the Spring Youth season. Of those totals, I’m happy to admit that one of those birds taken during the Youth season was by my son Caleb. Unfortunately, Caleb was not able to fill his other tag during the regular season. And, we certainly tried! The Spring season is tough for kids to be able to fill their second tag. If they filled a tag during the Youth season, they cannot hunt the Spring season until the second week starts. The second… -
A Few New Outdoor Sites To Take A Look At
1 May 2009 | 8:31 amI haven’t posted one of these in a while, but here are some sites I’ve stumbled across lately that are worth taking a look at.

A Fun Day Hunting Pheasants and Chukar at Flying Feathers
18 Apr 2009 | 10:57 amBack in mid March, our friends Thad and Michelle came up from Texas for a visit. We started planning some fun stuff to do. We had all heard about Flying Feathers and so Jeff called them to see if they were still booking hunts. We caught them right at the end of the season and were thrilled to get a hunt booked. They were out of Quail for the season, so we booked a Saturday hunt for Chukar and Pheasant. We decided that a little practice would be beneficial so Friday was dedicated to practice. Jeff, Thad, Caleb, and myself headed down to Ozark Shooters (near Branson, Missouri) on Friday… -
Caleb Bags His First Turkey During the 2009 Missouri Youth Spring Turkey Season
8 Apr 2009 | 7:26 amSaturday – April 4, 2009 was a special day for my son, Caleb. It was the opening morning of the Youth Spring Turkey Season. We woke up early and went to meet our friends Jeff, Todd, and Todd’s seven year old son – Gavin. This would be Gavin’s first hunt (of any kind) and he was really excited. Caleb, too, was excited. Caleb has taken a couple deer, a pig, several pheasants (which I still need to write about), but up until this point – no turkey. On Friday Jeff and I spent the afternoon out at his tract of land in Taney county (near Branson, Missouri) scouting for Turkey sign.

Getting Ready for A-Zone Blacktail - 2009

Here are a few live photos of some A-zone bucks. Most of the bucks you’ll see in the A-zone are forked horns. This is a cache creek buck photographed by Rob on one of our trips to the Wilson Valley. This buck passed by my blind during the archery season last summer. I probably would have taken a shot at him if he’d ever got within range. This nice buck lived at the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. He’d be a… -

Bow Hunting for a First timer
17 Jun 2009 | 9:52 amImage by Joel Abroad via Flickr Sorry, if you found this blog thinking you were going to get some tips on bow hunting. I myself am new to the craft and is looking for the same. What I can tell you is that so far the biggest help was finding a reputable show to help me with my purchase and set-up. No I am not promoting one shop or the other or any certain brand of bow. I’m just telling you my experience, take it for what it’s worth. Close to where I live we have an archery shop that does and has everything when it comes to archery, not just for hunting. I think this is important.

The Short Answer
19 May 2009 | 6:42 amThis blog has been silent for over a month now. At first I told myself it was silent because I was busy with other things. That is the truth, but not the whole truth, and I’ve always sworn that I would be truthful here. The real truth of the matter is this; the downturn in the economy has hit GSI hard. Our main product appeals to a very specific segment of the hunting population, and it isn’t something, like a gun or blaze orange gear, that you have to have to hunt. We here at GSI think keeping yourself safe is a necessity, but we all know that not everyone else agrees. Business is a… -
Community Wednesday 4/8/09
8 Apr 2009 | 6:11 amTips for Safe Hunting on Public Land You all know how much I love safety tips. Ben G. has some great tips for hunting on public land in his post from April 6.

This is So Not On My Diet I try to eat well and most of the time I do, but every once in a while I see a receipe that makes me think I'd throw it all away just for a taste.

Safety Friday: Why Being Safe Matters
27 Mar 2009 | 6:37 amMost people who do any outdoor activity talk about safety a lot. If you shoot a gun for any reason you talk about gun safety. If your outdoor activity involves the water, you've probably had at least one discussion about water safety. If you hike or camp, you've probably gone over ways to be safe in the woods. Climbers most likely have discussions about how to climb safely. There's a lot of discussion in a lot of places about how to be safe while doing some things that may inherently be unsafe. Being safe obviously matters to many of those who love the outdoors, that's a given. The question… -

Wisconsin Lawmakers Consider Lowering Hunting Age to 10
25 Jun 2009 | 6:40 amIn an effort to keep hunting alive in Wisconsin, state senators were scheduled to vote Tuesday on a bill that would allow children as young as 10 to hunt with a rifle. The bill, S.B. 167, would allow 10-year-olds to hunt, provided that a parent or guardian with a hunting license accompanies the child, that he or she is always within “arm’s reach” of the child, and that the duo carry only a single firearm.

Fish Where the Trout are Feeding
3 Jul 2009 | 8:17 amWhen I started fly fishing I had the same romantic notion of the sport that many probably do. Casting delicate little flies that land softly on the water and watching big fish come up from the depths to sip the offering ever so gently. Then one day I was on a beautiful clear flowing river on a bright, fall day with no fish rising or even looking at my dry fly presentations. I was still fairly new to the sport and had only read about fishing nymphs. I rigged up, from my best recollections of what I had read, and went from casting a small dry to casting two nymphs under a bulky yarn… -

At ten yards he emerges from the dense forest and turns to look back at his harem of cows and calves just becoming visible through the fog. The wind is in my favor the shot is an easy one, he is so close that I can see the white crystals from the fog stuck… -

Crate Training Your New Pup
1 Jul 2009 | 5:49 amCrate training serves two purposes; One is potty training and the other is to get them accustomed to having a safe place for alone time. First you put your puppy in the crate and leave him there for an hour. As soon as you let him out of the crate, immediately take him outside. Once you and your puppy are outside, use words like “go potty” and “get busy”. Always use the same phrase so that your puppy learns to associate it with doing his business. When he starts “going”, say “good potty”, “good potty”. You will learn that reinforcing commands using praise, and the key… -

16 Jun 2009 | 11:50 amThis outfitter has one of the largest land holdings through leases in the state of Idaho. These ranches are located in the Hell’s Canyon area, near the famous and picturesque Salmon and Snake Rivers.

The ranches are accessible by 4-wheel drive vehicles, providing easier access to productive hunting areas. These leases have been in place for over 20 years, and coupled with the limited access, our selective deer and elk hunting yearly produces outstanding bulls and… -

Our itinerary usually includes paint-ball wars, Easter egg hunts for the kids, hiking, riding four-wheelers, fishing and shooting clay pigeons. Just your average good ‘ole redneck-type fun. As you know, the weather this time of year can be marginal at…
