    Well the nephews both ended to season with a goose egg. The youngest hunted Saturday morning and froze out by 7 and the oldest had a stomach bug that kept him out this last weekend. Sunday morning I got out for one last hunt. Around 7:20 am I see this guy trotting through the field coming the...

    Today was the last day I will get a chance to take out either of my nephews before the season ends tomorrow. The oldest caught some sort of bug the middle of last week so he missed any hunting this last weekend. My youngest nephew came down on Wednesday night and we hit it Thursday morning...

    I hunted with a 6mm for years and the kids I take still hunt with it. I had all kinds of trouble shooting cor-lokts and power points from the gun. The performance on game was less than stellar and on a few occasions it led to lost deer....no blood trails to follow at all and if they didn't...

    Recommended caliber/rifle for a new hunter

    For many years I shot my dad's old 6mm Remington 600 and the younger kids I take hunting still do. I hand load for it and with 80 grain Hornady GMX's it is a tack driver. The GMX's really make the small caliber shine. I had previously shot factory soft point rounds and I was not impressed...

    Rough morning today. Around 7:20 this morning I looked over my nephews shoulder and a decent 6 pointer was slipping by at about 75 yards. I whispered my nephews name 3 times before he responded. By that time the deer had slipped behind a small hill. The way the hill is, sitting down covers...

    States that don't require a license

    Kentucky is the same as about every other state. No license or permit required for landowners or tenant living and working on the land. I am a tenant on the land I hunt, but I do not work the land as the department sees it. Personally, I think I work it plenty....I maintain a large portion of...

    Oh man that sucks Okie. Sounds to me like you took out one front leg for sure. I say dead deer. Good luck finding him in the morning!

    Pulled up to new field number one around 1pm and the farmer was out working on his combine. I went up and talked to him and he mentioned that the guy that had been hunting new field number two hadn't been there in a week and that I might as well try it. He didn't have to tell me twice. I had...

    After 3 hours of watching and listening to the neighbor ride around on his four wheeler instead of hunting I gave up. The wind was horrible.

    Heading out soon. I had planned on letting the other spot rest until the kids could come back down, but with a wind this heavy I never see anything behind the house. So, today I will be sitting in a cut bean field hoping they are still chasing. 16-20 mph winds....I might just end up as...

    Finally got to do a full afternoon sit....nothing. Wind was howling and 75 degrees. Just at dark the rain moved in and when the lightening started I decided it was time to go. The morning looks good though with much cooler temps.....and wind. 9-11 mph's out of the north northwest. Not great...

    I have been sneaking out behind the house this week after work. When I get home and throw on my hunting clothes I can hunt the last 45 minutes of light. So far I haven't seen a thing. Didn't run out there today...WAY too warm for me. Tomorrow I only work til 1 so if it isn't pouring (and...
