Happy Thanksgiving

November 26, 2009

Happy Thanksgiving! I’m still hunting, but the great thing is that my family was able to join me for the next few days while I’m on the road. Cole is going to try his luck for another buck for a segment for NAHC TV and I get the pleasure of putting the rifle down and [...]

Hunting the Corn

November 26, 2009

Here’s a quick update and a photo from my latest hunting spot. It’s a waterhole surrounded by standing corn. With the harvest way behind corn is everywhere so I hooked up with Cody Warne to get some corn action. NAH TV producer Melissa Bachman was with me yesterday when we literally had bucks diving into [...]

Close Encounter

November 25, 2009

The rut is still on and I proved it the last few days by rattling in a bunch of bucks. The result is a great show for NAH TV for the 2010 season. I teamed up with NAH TV producer Melissa Bachman and she worked hard to capture it all.
If you want to have calling [...]

Tone Down Your Calling

November 24, 2009

I love to call deer and I have called in a pile already this fall including the big buck in the previous blog, but you need to tone down your calls when bucks are in close. The problem most of us have, me included, is that calling is so much fun, but when a buck [...]

What A Buck!

November 19, 2009

Take a look at this dude! This could be one of the oldest bucks I shot and I shot him the other day in my old stomping grounds of central South Dakota. He’s got a monster neck, body and rack on him. Sure, he’s a little weak in the point department, but you can barely [...]

I Know. I Know. It’s Not A Whitetail.

November 17, 2009

I know I said I was going to write about whitetails for November, but this buck was just too good to resist. Could you pass a buck up like this right under your stand? Kansas was too hot so I sped back to my old stomping grounds and after watching whitetail after whitetail slip through [...]

Mr. Lucky

November 12, 2009

I’m after Mr. Lucky…again. I’m writing this blog from Kansas and it’s hot. The rut is strarting, but the Midwest is having a slight heat wave and it’s suppressing the rutting activity. So far we’ve only one buck chasing and one buck scraping. It’s been slow.
On the other hand, my good friend Greg Gilman has [...]

Cole’s First Buck

November 9, 2009

I know I promised whitetail topics in November, but you have to forgive me.
My son Cole shot his first buck the other day and it just happened to be a different species of deer than whitetail. I had a couple days off before making my annual tour of whitetail country and Cole opted to go [...]

Making Smoke In Montana

November 5, 2009

So Bill wrapped his hunt up and now it’s my turn up to bat. Our hunt is booked as a two on one meaning two hunters for our one guide Myles Gardner.
I’m sure Myles questioned his father on this one, especially after putting up with my smart-alec remarks and me always hinting at wanting to [...]

Montana’s in Bill Miller’s Blood

November 3, 2009

I’m writing this blog from the Big Sky Country of Montana. The weather has been normal. That means the sun shines for a few hours, rain showers are predictable and snow is likely. We’ve seen all three in the span of three days of hunting so far. We’ve also seen hundreds it not more than [...]
