My Turn

August 27, 2010

With Cole’s pronghorn down and two birds killed with one stone (his first big game archery kill and a TV show) I had no stress to shoot another pronghorn. We’d give it another day, maybe two and then wrap the trip as successful. My first day with my Mathews bow in hand turned out to [...]

Have I Created a Monster?

August 23, 2010

I just landed back at home after a week of searing heat and sore buns while bowhunting pronghorn in central Wyoming. It was Cole’s first big game archery hunt and he had prepared well in advance for the big trip. Although we were filming for an episode of Extreme Pursuits I had to let Cole [...]

All the Comforts of Home

August 17, 2010

Archery pronghorn seasons are kicking off this week across the West. There are a number of ways to bowhunt pronghorn including stalking, decoying and waiting in ambush. I’m an ambush kind of guy. It’s not that I’m not in good enough shape to stalk or decoy, I’ve had my share of those experiences, it’s just [...]

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 [...]

Hunting Pronghorn on TV

September 11, 2009

I’m writing this blog from somewhere north of Newell, S.D. It’s my second pronghorn hunt of the year, but the first filmed hunt and I’m partnered up with my good friend Lonnie Garland. Lonnie is a full-time video producer for the North American Hunting Club, and he and I have shared many adventures in the [...]

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 [...]

Do It Yourself on Public Land

August 21, 2009

I rolled in yesterday from my first hunt of the fall, albeit a short hunt.
Three friends and I traveled to central Wyoming for a three-day pronghorn hunt. I was invited by a good friend and a week prior we scouted the barren BLM land for possible pronghorn ambush sites. Half of us hunted from ground [...]

Got Elk?

August 7, 2009

I mentioned in my last blog about chaperoning a troop of Boy Scouts in the mountains earlier this week. I’m going up over the weekend to help wrap up the end of the camp and bring my son down for a hot shower. By the end of this weekend he’ll have been up there for [...]

Horsing Around

July 17, 2009

Have you been thinking about pronghorn season? I have. It’s about a month away and gives me the first chance at pursuing big game with stick and string. I have a soft spot for pronghorns. Not only did they offer me one of my first real bowhunting adventures besides cornfield whitetails, but they also helped [...]

Destination: New Mexico
Outfitter: Kiowa Guide Service

I think Gordy Krahn deserves a shirt that says, “I shoot crazy-horned bucks.”
Whether it’s Texas or New Mexico, Gordy and I have a knack for finding non-typical, crazy-horned pronghorn bucks. Last year we were hunting the panhandle of Texas and came across this pronghorn that [...]

Cameras Never Break Down At A Convenient Time

August 26, 2008

Date: August 21-26, 2008         
Destination: Wyoming         
Outfitter: Table Mountain Outfitters         
Goal: Trophy Pronghorn      
 
I’m ready to start the fall all over again, after an eventful spring filled with bear hunts from Manitoba to Newfoundland, numerous turkey hunts around the country, and a summer crammed with editing.  Fall is known as our “busy” time, but I’m still trying to figure [...]
