Outdoor commentary and legislative issues.
Three hunters, who were under surveillance, were caught poaching in Idaho. They got jail time, fines and Idaho got their rifles. A good, swift kick in the pants and an adios of “Don’t come back” is in order.

Opening Day Fog, Shiawassee County, Michigan

Yesterday’s afternoon session of deer hunting in the strong winds found me in a chair blind overlooking a large destination field of brassicas. Only one deer was spotted – a yearling six-point buck working the food plot at the far end. The young buck lingered for approximately 20 minutes and exited into an adjoining woodlot. Fortunately for the buck, no other hunters were on hand.
This morning’s temperature is a rather balmy 43 degrees and, once again, high winds are predicted. Hopefully, they’ll hold off for this Saturday early session – yes, opening weekend.

A good lesson learned. Don’t try to finish off a deer with a knife. They can suddenly “come to life” and windmill-kick like a mule on steroids.
ALBION – Indiana Conservation Officers have closed the investigation of a hunter’s death at Chain O’Lakes State Park after the Noble County Coroner’s office ruled the death was due to a lacerated liver, possibly from an encounter the hunter had with a deer he shot. Read more
