  • Another look at deer season

    I made a mistake in last week’s article when I said modern gun season ran from Nov. 8 through Nov. 23. 

    It does in Zones 1 and 2. However, Marion County is in Zone 3, which puts our season from Nov. 8-17. That’s a 10-day season for us.

  • Whispers, snacks and a deer

    I had a most interesting weekend. Since I didn’t have an opportunity to take a grandson hunting during the youth weekend, I decided the early muzzleloader season would be a good “make up” period.

  • Mixed weather marks youth deer weekend

    Well, our 2014 youth deer hunt was bad and good, weather-wise.
    Saturday was just plain miserable with all the rain. Of course, there are those who consider the off and on rain, and cool temperatures, the best weather for hunting deer.
    Then came Sunday with a beautiful, rain free, morning. The temperature was good and the wind was acceptable for the morning and evening hours.
    I know of several youth who took advantage of the weekend, but as I write this I haven’t heard what kind of luck they had.

  • Bone-chilling end to the ‘Classic’

     Our Mid-KY Bass Anglers finished our 2014 season this past weekend with our annual “Classic.”

    On a cold, blustery Saturday, nine teams and one individual blasted off from Green River Lone Valley ramp at 8 a.m. The run down ... or up ... the lake left most everybody with a small dose of hypothermia.

  • Enjoying the wildlife during this special season

     It was the first day of the special season, and I was excited. This year I could put all my attention to this special season.

    Opening day had been predicted to be good, and it sure was. The early morning air was a fall kind of crisp, and it warmed nicely throughout the day.

  • Bad duck hunt is still OK

     Since the past week was the early wood duck/teal season (Sept. 17-21), nothing would do except give it a shot! (I know, that was week.)

    So, on Thursday, Terry Davis, Ryan Mattingly, Eli Durbin, Justin Unseld and I made it to the Green River WMA outside Knifley … where the gas line blew up!

  • Don’t rain on a hunter’s dove hunting parade

     I heard about an interesting, though somewhat scary incident the other day.

    Seems a group of my friends were shooting doves earlier in the season when something tragic happened.

  • Testing out the public fields (and a few more)

     It’s been an outstanding week. First, those of you who aren’t retired got an extra day off work. Well, most of you did!

    But the best part is that it was the opening of dove season. And, in my humble opinion, there seems to be more doves this year!

    Or it could be that the birds aren’t scattered real bad because not that many have been cut?

  • A story about a good way to start dove season

     Dove shooting tip: Shoot where they’ll be, not where they are!

    It was finally here, actually open till 11 a.m. At least, it didn’t open till 11 a.m. the Green River WMA (Wildlife Management Area). While I had an excellent spot for the following weekend … on private land … I was content to find this WMA.
