Cats On The Flats
December 28, 2009
Mountain Lions have always intrigued me. I can’t say I really like them because of their secretive ways, but they keep your interest for the same reason. I don’t know how true it is but I’ve heard if you’ve hunted three years you’ve more then likely been observed by a Mountain Lion at some point [...]
Hunting Mountain Whitetail Part II
December 22, 2009
Friday, our first day of hunting dawned wet and miserable. When it rains in this area it really knows how to make everything wet! But in spite of the weather we managed to get our blind set up.

There’s a Price For Practice to Make Perfect
December 1, 2009
We don’t run before we walk and we don’t give a speech before we learn to talk. I’m sure Micheal Jordon threw up a few bricks before he became quite good at basketball and I’m sure Tiger woods busted 100 a few times before he became one of the best of golfers of all time. I [...]
