I Told You it Was Coyote Time

December 14, 2009

I was already decked out in my snow camouflage when the bus rolled to a stop in our driveway last Friday. Yes, I’m still suffering from hunting withdraw like a dependent trying to kick an addiction. By noon the computer screen was getting blurry and by 3 p.m. my head was slumping into the screen. [...]

It's Coyote Time

December 7, 2009

Sure it’s still whitetail season and I’m going to blog about late-season in the very near future, but it’s also time to think about coyotes and here’s why. If you want to find success you need to get out early while there are still a few uneducated coyotes left. Every day you wait means less [...]

A Plethora of Mule Deer

December 1, 2009

Try as I might, I couldn’t get away from the muleys this season. Take a look at this photo. Yes, it’s another mule deer and we found it in one of my favorite whitetail honey holes. In fact, I barely found whitetails there.
Apparently the old say of “there goes the neighborhood” might apply to many [...]

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 [...]

Missing the Action

September 29, 2009

Have you ever missed a big event in your life or the life of your family?
Have you missed an important anniversary, a birthday or even the birth of your child? I admit to a few. Even before I started down my current craziness of the freelance lifestyle my old job kept me on the road. [...]

Summer Camp is Over

September 7, 2009

It’s not the biggest pronghorn I’ve ever bowkilled, but it was one of the more memorable. The weekend before school started I was busy trying to decide whether to scout for deer, scout for elk or simply stay home and prepare gear for the hunting crusade about to begin. I then remembered I had a [...]

Everyone's On Vacation

August 24, 2009

It’s all over the news. Everyone’s on vacation. We’re right in the middle of an economic crisis and in the middle of a brouhaha over health care, and congress goes on vacation followed by the president. That’s it! I’m going on vacation!
Oops, I forgot. I have to work. Despite wanting to follow the trend of [...]

Common Sense in Nevada

June 30, 2009

Nevada had a bit of turmoil earlier this month and it wasn’t because of a malfunctioning slot machine or the early-morning escapades of an eccentric Hollywood weirdo. Instead, it had everything to do with hunting and the public standing up for hunting rights.
It all started when the legislature passed Assembly Bill 246 to provide additional [...]

Be Prepared

May 5, 2009

Be prepared. That’s the Scout motto and over the weekend my son and I tested that theory on a weekend Boy Scout campout. Evidence of snow was seen in the form of leftover drifts and gray clouds threatened rain, but it held off until the campout ended. Even the bears, moose, mountain lions and raccoons [...]

Earth Day the Kayser Way

May 1, 2009

You folks aren’t snitches are you? I’m going to share a secret with you. Some of you may think less of me and some of you may applaud me, but I’m letting the horse out of the barn, or the cat out of the bag, or the dog out of the kennel. Get my drift?
Did [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
