Goodbye Buddy and Holly

July 29, 2009

It finally arrived. It was time to say goodbye to our skunks Buddy and Holly. Not only have the twosome been growing like dandelions on Miracle-Gro, but they’ve become quite the hunters when tackling crickets and grasshoppers. We could hear them crunching on a good hopper from 10 yards away on a still evening. The [...]

A Grandmother and a Fawn

July 13, 2009

What’s your image of elderly grandmothers? I imagine them to be gray-haired (feel free to change that to blue), caring and always cheery with a plateful of homemade, gooey, chocolate chip cookies. What I never pictured was a spiteful, teeth-gritting, shovel-swinging zombie old lady with enough hatred to beat an innocent fawn to death; allegedly [...]

Skunk Updated

July 8, 2009

On the May 22 blog I wrote about a smelly problem at our house. It’s still a problem. We were reminded of it on July 4 when my brother was visiting with his yellow Labrador named Dodge. As we chatted, Dodge cruised our property in typical hunting dog fashion. After a couple of laps he [...]

You're a Free Person So Embrace the Fourth

July 3, 2009

It’s the Fourth of July and we have plenty of reasons to celebrate. We’re free. We live in a great country. We have great hunting opportunities across this great nation and we can hunt year-round. For my friends north of the border, you have much of the same except a different holiday, but feel free [...]

When to Say What the Heck

June 5, 2009

My neighbor just called. His daughter is back from the East Coast where she just graduated from honors. In a week she’s off to the West Coast for a new job. He wanted to know if the kids and I wanted to go up on the mountain and spend the day.
I really should sit here [...]

Kids and Hunting

April 17, 2009

Do you remember my blog about the decreasing number of hunters from last week? I’m testing out Wyoming’s solution this weekend. The state offers a mentor program that allows adult guardians to take mentees hunting who have not taken their hunter safety course. My daughter has been involved in 4-H shooting and understands the basics [...]

Surprise Around Every Corner

March 16, 2009

I know it’s difficult finding land to hunt these days. Just because you’re on TV doesn’t mean gates automatically open. In fact, I think sometimes it can be a detriment. That’s why this weekend it was a breath of fresh air to secure some new land for my kids’ turkey hunting activities.
I teamed up with [...]

Before and After

March 10, 2009

Don’t you love those “before” and “after” photos of people taking part in weight loss programs, plastic surgery procedures or even the new rage, colon cleansings (talk about people with too much time on their hands!).
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood and nobody is going to trip and stab themsevles on these antlers Kayser [...]

Mark Kayser Does Yoga?

February 27, 2009

If I can’t come up with a timely topic late in the week to write about I’m going to toss out an idea or two for you to consider for a weekend pursuit.
There are very few things I do in my life that don’t revolve around hunting and the natural world so you don’t have [...]

You Want Me To Go Where?

February 23, 2009

I have cabin fever year-round so it doesn’t take much prodding to get me out. One of my latest adventures was to scout elk country, both for hunting and to look for shed antlers this coming spring.
My 11-year-old son, Cole, joined me and we did our initial scouting from the truck using my Nikon 82mm [...]

4-H Shooting

February 20, 2009

The weekend is coming up and you know what that means, right? For me it means taking my kids to 4-H shooting. Every Friday night local shooting instructors take time to oversee 4-H shooting sport activities and aid in coaching shooting instruction. It’s great.
Both my kids participate, but I have to be honest. My daughter [...]

Thanks for the Opportunity

February 2, 2009

When the crew at North American Hunter offered me the opportunity to share my thoughts on the club website in an ongoing blog, I jumped on it like my son’s barn cat, Maggie, jumps on a field mouse in our pasture. Like Maggie, I’ll be dragging back stories from the field for you, plus information on gear and tactics that also grabbed my attention, and spawned success. If I catch wind of new laws or legislation that might affect you, I’ll discuss that as well.

Bill Miller's African Safari, Episode 5

October 1, 2007

For most hunters, it was their father who introduced them to hunting. And in this segment before the start of his second full day of hunting, Bill takes time out to thank dads everywhere for introducing their kids to hunting in celebration of his own father’s 86th birthday.
