Elk in Missouri

I was a Missouri resident more than a decade ago when there was talk of turning elk loose in parts of the Ozarks. I was personally excited but I predicted that it would never fly with the residents of Southern Missouri. These are not people you would call open thinkers. As I claimed at the [...]

Cheating in a Bass Tournament = Jail

In my line of work I sometimes marvel at the disconnect between those who go to jail and those who should go to jail. Fortunately for the world at large, a Dallas judge got it right when he sentenced Robby Rose to 15 days in jail for cheating during a recent bass tournament. It seems [...]

Wild Blackberry Cobbler

So I’m not much of a cook. I’m also not much of wild fruit scrounger. On my two caribou hunts I’ve spent more time eating blueberries than hunting. Other than that, it’s mostly roadside stands and grocery stores. But I found a fantastic stand of blackberries hiking with the daughter last week. They were still [...]

Harrop Lake 2010

I’ve told you about Harrop Lake before. This makes something like the seventeenth year in a row that I’ve gone north to this particularly spot with my friends and family. What’s so great about this particular spot? Well, this is the view from my cabin: Actually the view is great, but it’s the fishing that [...]

Tred Barta 1 Year Later

I get a pile of google hits regarding Tred and his health status. As such I thought I’d let you guys know that he is still out there making his show. He recently dropped by Bowsite and gave an interview with Pat. Click here to listen to it.

Happy Father’s Day

Growing up my father was a duck hunter who occasionally returned to his bird hunting roots. I was in a duck blind at a young age. I’m sure he put up with a lot of annoying crap in order to drag me along. Obviously that exposure eventually became a big part of who I am, [...]

Back From Canada

The Wife and I are back in Kansas safe and sound. Our trip included broken motors, broken bones, and big fish… I’ll give you a more detailed update when I find some free time. For now I’m trying to cram 5 days of work into 3 days… oh, and the rivers are flooding…

Sorry for the Delay

The Daily Limit has recently been in Boston trying to become more educated. I saw a game at Fenway, ate lobster, and traveled the Freedom Trail, among other things. I also attended class from 8:00 to 5:30 each day! Thursday morning I leave for Canada and my docket is packed between now [...]

Predator Control – Spring Coyotes

“Should I shoot that coyote?”
“No coyotes until after 9:00 am” was The Old Man’s response. He was guiding for a longtime friend and duck hunting partner.
It’s a regular occurance for us to see a coyote while hunting. I told you about The Old Man laying the smack on 3 during one [...]

Do Your Own European Mounts

I just finished the whitetail European mounts from this past fall today. Over the past several years I’ve done them a few different ways.
First, you need to clean the deer. Cut the head off and cape it out. For whitetails you need to get rid of the lower jaw, tongue and throat [...]

I ran into a small covey of quail Saturday afternoon in the rain. This guy was nice enough to stick around briefly for a picture. It was nice to see them, I saw exactly one covey in all the days I hunted eastern Kansas this year. We used to hunt them several [...]

Bowfishing and Turkey Hunting

I’ve been turkey hunting or bowfishing since Friday at 2:00. More on turkey hunting later. Saturday afternoon I waded into a flood, in the rain, with a bow. Here’s part of the haul:

This afternoon The Old Man and I tried it again, but the river was on it’s way down and we [...]

The Midwest is Flooding (Again)…

… and you know what that means! More bowfishing. I did a few minutes of shooting today and stuck a few gar and a buffalo, but mostly I was scouting. I didn’t have enough daylight left to set up shop but hopefully I’ve got a plan for tomorrow morning before more rain [...]

Montana Wants More Wolf Tags for 2010

Rumor has it that Montana wants to allow as many as three times the number of wolf tags in 2010 as they had last year. Hunters killed just over 70 last year and this year they are hoping for around 200. Big game numbers in the wolf recovery area have been crushed in [...]

Karma or Just a Fork In Your Eye?

The Washington Post recently ran a lengthy obit for an old German named Paul Schaefer who died at the age of 89. It turns out that old Paul wasn’t exactly the type of guy you look up to. He was:
- An evangelical preacher – I’d say hit or miss on this one;
- Who [...]

Turkey Hunting or Wedding?

Today was the type of day a Kansas turkey hunter dreams of. 45 degrees at sunrise, partly cloudy, slight breeze, perfect. It’s the type of day where you can be sure to find a mid-season tom strutting across a bright green pasture and gobbling every minute or so.
But, alas, I’ve got [...]

North Dakota Deer Tag Sales Down 19%

Here’s a piece of bad news that I had in my email inbox today:

The number of deer hunting licenses in North Dakota this fall will be down 19 percent from last year and the lowest in almost a decade.
But hopefully it is more a reflection of tough winters than of decreasing interest in hunting [...]

My Bucket List

So Albert at The Rasch Outdoor Chronicles and Rick at Whitetail Woods came up with the idea of an outdoors bucket list. I’ve spent a surprising amount of time in the last couple of days thinking about my own goals. I used to make outdoor goals when I was younger, but most of [...]

Bowfishing In A Flood

This afternoon I headed south to the Marais Des Cygnes River knowing that it was out of it’s banks and expecting to find some good bowfishing. It’s not an exact science but I use the National Weather Service website and my own past experience to guess when I think the fish will be swimming [...]
