    The tradition continues

    My oldest daughter has been going turkey hunting with me since she was 5 years old. Killed her first tom at 10 and now has near 20 toms under her belt. My 11 year old son has taken up the tradition, this year notching Tom number 6 to his credit. This trip to western Oklahoma had a bit of...

    All in a day's work

    So I took my 11 year old son this morning to do some dog training with me. His job was to throw birds/bumpers for our black lab retriever in training. So he can't resist and decides to just go ahead and get in the mud puddle. Made him get in bed of truck for ride home. I dropped him off at home...

    Axe head restoration project

    I recently started another form of hunting. Metal detecting is something I have wanted to do but just recently bought one and started. My church was started in about 1915. I've been told that when it started people would ride horses and wagons to church. I've also heard that the property was...

    Oklahoma Bear

    I decided to do wait a little longer to start my baits this year. It's about a three hour drive one way to my baits so instead of starting 3-4 weeks before the season, I started baiting about 18 days before the season. There is a lot of work in bear baits. Last year I accomplished a goal of...

    Metal detecting

    Any of you guys into metal detecting? I have wanted to for a long time but wouldn't know where to start in regards to which one a beginner should start out with. Seems like it would be awesome to turn up some old coins around an old house place.

    Deer age?

    Any of you experts care to guess this bucks age based on his body? No need guessing his score. I killed this deer in early December 2011 in northeast Oklahoma and have always wondered how old he was. Back then I didn't care as much about age as I do now. Didn't save the teeth. Yes that's a corn...

    Spain

    I have been interested in Ibex in Spain. There are different sub species so not real educated on that or Spain in general. Sounds like a good time. Have thought about taking my wife someday and visit Spain while hunting there. Anyone have any experience in Spain? Is it safe?

    Outdoor Life magazine

    I collect vintage hunting magazines. I bought this one awhile back and framed it. Figured you houndsmen would get a kick out of it.

    The making of a retriever

    I got a new pup in January of 2022. I posted a few pics of his training progress over in the Hunting with Hounds section. Wasn't sure whether to post this in the Hounds section or Feathers section. I spent a lot of time dog training over the summer preparing for the upcoming duck season. It...

    A-Frame wheat field goose hunting

    I have permission from a neighbor to hunt his wheat field. The geese hit the field pretty much every morning to eat the wheat. About 80 big Canada's and a single Snow with them. The field is mostly flat with no cover. Can I get by with using a A-Frame? The blind is brushed with dead brown...

    Oklahoma buck down

    Feel blessed to have taken this buck. I have never killed a decent buck in October until this year. I have several trail cam pics of this deer. After reaching my goal of killing a black bear with traditional archery just 18 days earlier I really wanted to get this buck with trad bow as well but...

    1st "cold blind" for Rex

    Rex is 11 months old today. I finished up T-drill awhile back and have been working on bird boy blinds/pattern blinds. Also have been working on casting drills in water and "swim by". I felt pups confidence was strong enough to introduce him to cold blinds on land. I took him out today and hid 3...
