    Wooo! Spring break!

    Sorry guys, no boobs here. Well... Not for you to see anyway. The girlfriend and I are taking off tomorrow afternoon and driving to Key West. We will be camping in Dry Tortuga's national park for four days, and doing some touristy shit for two. Taking some spinning gear and a fly rod, looking...

    Anybody going to the MeatEater: Behind the Curtains show in Cleveland on Thursday? A buddy and I are going, we sprung for the VIP meet and greet tickets. Depending on what time we get there, we might stop by Southern Tier Brewery beforehand. Ohio BHA and QDMA are hosting a pregame party there.

    Venison Mississippi Roast

    I believe I got this recipe originally from a Field and Stream Facebook post but have since made a few modifications, one of which being to make it easy for a slow cooker, which I find to be the best way to make this. I've made a few modifications to be Keto- friendly, mainly the coconut flour...

    Venison breakfast sausage recipe

    I made up about 20 pounds of this recipe this season. I've tried a few and it is by far my favorite. Stolen from an Alton Brown recipe for pork breakfast sausage. Ingredients 5 lbs ground venison (I use about an 80/20 mix of venison to pork trim, you can choose your own liking.) 4 teaspoons...

    Kentucky Elk Drawing

    Who put in already? They changed things up a bit this year, to only three types of tags. Bull and cow firearm, and then an either-sex archery. I put in for the archery tag, and the cow firearm. I wouldn't be able to take time off to go during the bull firearm dates. Mid-May is a long way off to...

    South Africa 2018

    I mentioned in my other post that my job in Alaska has afforded me a lot of opportunities. One of those opportunities has been my trip to South Africa this past summer to hunt plains game. To be clear: I was never truly intrigued with African hunting, a big reason being my teacher's salary...

    My double life the last 4 years: Bristol Bay salmon fishin

    So one of the things that has kept me busy the last four years (and able to fund some really expensive hobbies/trips) has been my summer job working as a commercial sockeye salmon fishermen in Bristol Bay, Alaska. My job as a teacher has kept my summers free, and my brother lives near Anchorage...

    Returning member

    Good morning folks. Some of you may remember me, a lot of new faces around here. I've been pretty busy with my life and haven't been hanging out here, but decided now was a good time to come back into the circle. (I'm still plenty busy, but that's a different story.) One of the big reasons I...

    Homemade adjustable boat duck blind.

    Been pretty busy lately and haven't had much time to be on here, but figured I would post up my duck blind build, one of the things that has kept me busy. I wanted to make a blind that was adjustable so I could use it on my canoe as well as a small Jon boat. I used 3/4" EMT conduit, with the...

    Controlled waterfowl hunts in, got drawn for Ottawa.

    For any of you who put in for the waterfowl controlled hunts this year, they finally posted the results. I got drawn for the Ottawa hunt. Unfortunately, the date I was drawn is October 24th (a Monday) and I just can't justify taking a day off work (wouldn't get paid) to drive all that way for...

    Got muddy!

    Just had one of those great weekends that seems to come around so very little, so I thought I would share some pics with everyone. Spent the day Saturday 4-wheeling with some friends, it started out pretty clean, but then I managed to find a few mudholes. Let's just say there was very little...

    Bowfishin' Ladue

    JMMyers and I got out on Friday and walked the shore at Ladue Reservoir. It looked pretty bleak at first but then when we got closer to more shallow areas, we started hearing what sounded like submarine warfare. Carp were floppin' everywhere! Unfortunately, most of the action was in some swampy...

    Any .25-06 shooters out there???

    I took my dad's Remington 700 to the range on Saturday. Dang what a sweet-shooting gun. It's got a Simmons 4-12x scope on it, and once I got it dialed in I was pegging clay pigeons set up at 200 yards. Also falling victim were a few pop cans at about 150, 100, and 125. Oh and a few bowling pins...

    predator encounter while turkey hunting.

    Went out this morning turkey hunting. It was a great morning, it was rough at first trying to locate the birds but finally got on some. First set up was a bust, so I moved and tried to pick a fight with a hen. I had out only a hen dekes, and I set up against a tree when I catch movement in the...

    Got my mount back.

    Went and picked my mount up yesterday from my buck that I killed in early November. I got him done by Brian Knight (Knight's Taxidermy) in Clinton, OH. He is the current State and National taxidermy champion, and let me tell you, his skill shows in his work! I am so incredibly please with this...
