There's A Fight Brewing

January 15, 2010

There’s a fight brewing in my front yard. Since I rely on antenna TV without the hope of pay-per-view boxing events, I don’t mind a scuffle taking place in my front yard.  At least I have a ringside seat.
Here’s the proof. I took the photo earlier this week at my bird feeding site. As usual, [...]

Tale of a Giant Muley

December 9, 2009

Honest, this isn’t a tale in the sense that it is fictional, unless of course the hunter involved was telling a hunting yarn. In late October I swung home to grab some gear before continuing my 2009 North American Hunting Tour. While stopping by the local sporting goods outlet, Rocky Mountain Discount Sports (307-672-3418), to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Tribal Hunting Opportunities

October 13, 2009

I’m putting the final wrap on a great tribal hunt somewhere in the West. My guests have sworn me to secrecy, but I can tell you this much, I’m in my home state of South Dakota. That’s it. That’s all I can tell you. If I let the cat out of the bag any more [...]

Montana Mule Deer

September 10, 2009

Instead of flying home like most civilized human beings after a long trip away from home in Quebec, I decided to go straight to Montana.  What’s there you ask?  Powder River Outfitters and some giant mule deer!
Last year I was lucky enough to take my first mule deer ever, but I wanted to do it [...]

A Halloween Hunt

November 4, 2008

New Mexico Mule Deer
Oct. 31- Nov. 4
Outfitter: Santa Fe Guiding Company
Hunter: Mark Kayser
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, or at least it used to be. The past three years Halloween has been forgotten as hunting has taken priority.  This fall was no exception, and I spent my Halloween in the alien capitol of the [...]

Hunting Rig For Big Mulie Bucks

March 3, 2008

In Alberta’s Porcupine Hills with Trophy Hunters Alberta you’re after big mule deer bucks, and the shots could come at maximum ranges. That combination of probabilities has Bill Miller thinking it’s time to pack along a .300 Mag., premium ammo and good optics. It may be potent medicine, but it’s what you need to anchor [...]
