After a failed deer season, I’m back to basics. One bagged, two escaped. I am slipping. First squirrel of 2023 goes to the Stoeger Longfowler in 20 ga.

“Honey, aren’t you hunting today?” “It’s snowing, what are the chances I’ll see a deer today?” Looks like muzzleloader time…

FML. I decided not to go out this morning because I had pain in my shoulder. Look what was sitting in front of my trail camera at the precise moment I should have been. I’ll probably never see this deer again.

No deer today. I think they missed the memo about showing up for work early. I’ve been working on this hunting set-up since the summer of 2020. I’ve been obsessed about setting up an accurate but relatively inexpensive, low-profile, compact, multi-purpose chassis rifle with the purpose of...

Just a personal note.

I spotted what I thought was a spot were game was crossing a small stream. I put up a trail cam. It turned out to be hikers. I ended up deleting a whole bunch of people pics. But, there was this…

I rotated the camera 90-degrees and managed some non-rail based traffic.
