One Crazy Day of Doe Hunting! ManOfTheFall It was early October, 2005, and it was 88 degrees. I said to my son let's see if we can take out a couple of does this evening. We got out to our stands and amazingly we spooked several deer around 3 o'clock. Right around 3:30 I heard my son shoot his bow and he yelled over and said he has one down. So, I went over to him. We tracked her and she was only about 60 yards away. |

Ohio Deer: My Son's Biggest Buck ManOfTheFall It was the morning of November 6th, 2004. I had to work the night before but I knew the morning would be good. I had my son stay out at his grandma's and told him he needed to be in our favorite stand before it got light and I would meet him out there after work. |

November 4th Was a Good One ManOfTheFall November 4th of 07' was a good morning for deer hunting. My son and I decided to go to 2 of our favorite stands. I got up into my stand about a 1/2 hour before shooting light. A few minutes after I got settled into my stand I already began to hear deer moving. Although I couldn't see them they were moving pretty good. |

My Daughter's Opening Day Deer Myke As I am getting ready for this years archery season, I found this story I posted on another site in October 2008. It was my oldest daughters first deer hunt. I had an elk tag and she had a buck tag. I had been in the area she drew her tag for archery season, but I was unable to harvest a deer, but I knew good places to take her for rifle season. Now she's 17, starting college (she graduated high school at 16) and doesn't want to hang out with dear ol' dad as much. She said depending on her class schedule, she may go again this year, but who knows for sure. |

1st Mule Deer Buck! Marty Sup In 2008 I planned on a 12 day hunting trip for elk and deer. First would be the elk in first season and then followed by mule deer in second season, without a trip home in between. Opening day of 1st the 1st season which is elk only here in Colorado. It was 8am and I had just cleanly missed a cow at 165 yards. The tree behind her was hurting though. Needless to say I was deeply discouraged at myself. I had gotten in a hurry and rushed myself and made a bad shot. |

My 09' Ohio Buck ManOfTheFall I work midnights and it was going to be one of the first colder mornings of the year. I was hoping to get off work early. It was October 20th and there were several scrapes in this one particular area I hunt in. I didn't get off as early as I planned but I did manage to get off in just enough time to hurry home and get out to the stand. |

The Round Bail Buck groundhog Over the years of hunting nothing seems to surprise me any more. Just when you thought you’ve seen it all something even more bizarre happens, that’s the greatest thing about the outdoors. When real life can become stranger than fiction. |

Opening Day Pretty Boy, Arizona’s Early Rifle Hunt Al Siebert March 29 2009 I made a call to Arizona Game and Fish from work, and I think my entire crew heard me scream like a little boy, after I heard that I was the lucky draw of an early rifle Elk Permit in Arizona. From that moment on I didn’t waste a second learning something about the Unit. |

The Urban Fox groundhog Arriving at work today I spotted the little fox running by the window of our building with a gopher in his mouth, a few minutes later I was walking between the 2 buildings and there he was sitting on the sidewalk. I walked back in and grabbed the camera from the office and went back to look for him. There he was about 20 ft from the building having breakfast, we looked at each other for a minute before he walk another 5 ft away and dug a hole and covered up his gopher and fled across the parking lot for the day. |

Saskatchewan Mule Deer groundhog My brother and I skipped out on work early one Friday to head down south mule deer hunting before the muzzleloader season was over. We glassed a couple nice ones and a really big guy that was way out of range and we where running out of daylight, so decided to try one more spot with an hour left of light. Knowing the big boys would be on the move heading out to their feeding grounds. |
