We are back from South Africa, settling back into work. My first Safari, nearly three years in the making, was a success, an experience to be cherished for the rest of my life. Ordinarily, I’d have scrambled to get the 28 gigs of pictures and videos processed and uploaded, blog entries composed, etc. Unfortunately, one […]

One of my friends with land upstate was kind enough to let me put a Browning Strike Force trail camera on his property. I’d hunted his land three years earlier, but without knowing where the deer trails were, I was really operating on hope and prayer. This year, however, we had a chance to review trail […]

Day 2 began with дождь (rain). On and off, it spent the next two days raining. We woke up at about 8am, in most cases, wearing our hunting garments from the day prior.

Last year, I tried to get by without buying proper cold weather apparel. That was not smart. I ended up wearing 8 different layers under a camo windbreaker. It was fine for stalking, but sitting in a treestand in 20 degree weather I froze and vowed not to make the same mistake twice. Following my […]

Didn’t post much this summer. Honestly, between work and my personal life, I didn’t get much time to devote to hunting. Now, however, it’s late August, meaning New York State’s hunting season is opening soon. I’m getting excited, hopefully, I’ll take the lessons I learned last year and succeed in getting my first Whitetail. A […]

2011 was an incredibly educational year. I took my first deer, I learned to field dress multiple species, cooked several types of game meat, learned the basics of bow. Now I’ve got roughly 9 months to prepare for this coming fall. I have a few major goals: Be stronger than I was back in 2009 […]
