Hog Within 20 Yrds: Sight To Shot….

So there I was heading to my feeder at night just after 10pm. My Springfield 45 XDM had a full clip in but I usually carry it without one chambered, that night was no different. I was heading to the feeder to set the camera with the new set a batteries I had gotten for it. I had the spot light going as I usually do to see what kind of eyes I can see. It is 2 weeks before archery season opens Read More of the Story…

Would you shoot a Fawn?

Most of us, if not all, have had that dream of harvesting a monster buck. But have any of us had a dream about harvesting a fawn? Well, I know I haven’t yet.

Think albino deer are rare? The attached photos are of a black whitetail fawn in a neighborhood north of Austin, TX. All the deer pictured are wild. The fawn is melanistic, which means Read More of the Story…

Easy Pheasant Hunt

To be honest, this story is not mine. I was at a dinner a few nights ago and sitting around the table were some avid hunters. We commenced talking about firearms which inevitably led to some great hunting stories. So, I am going to post one from a friend of mine named Howard. I will tell it, as best as I can recall, as he told it.”

“I used to live out on a farm and one day during Pheasant season, there was a light snow. It blanketed everything in an inch or two and was pristine. I thought that this would be a great time to hunt down a pheasant as we often had them on our property.

So, I climbed in my truck and drove slowly down the drive looking out both sides of the truck. Before long, I saw what I was looking for. A set of pheasant prints in new fallen snow.

I climbed out, grabbed my shotgun, and carefully followed those tracks. Before long the tracks stopped. It didn’t look like the pheasant took off, I’ve seen what that looks like in the snow. No, these tracks looked like they just stopped. So I started looking around. Right next these tracks there was a bush so I looked carefully inside and sure enough, there was the pheasant just sitting there staring at me.

On a whim, I reached in and grabbed it by the neck. Now what am I going to do with this. So I threw it up in the air and shot it!”

Everyone at the table busted out laughing!

“It was the easiest shot I ever made!”
