Zimbabwe Hunting Safari Adventure - Part Three by DJ Saturday, 27 February 2010
Zimbabwe Hunting Safari Adventure - Part Three by DJ Part Three… Crossing Paths with a Record Book Sable As we welcomed each new sunrise from behind our makeshift blind, peering through the fleeting darkness as morning’s new rays bathed the African bush, the promise of another wild African adventure began to unfold. In the distant darkness the huff of lions at the bait, once a point of concern, became common and almost welcomed. As the light chased the darkness, the night hunters moved into the shadows for a day long nap. With the coast clear, we moved forward and inspected the bait. Again no hyena tracks only lion. With two Hyena tags burning a hole in my safari pants, I became resigned to the fact that it was time to change our strategy. Leaving the bait, Darren and I return to the trail. Our trackers, waiting in the distance, are trained to bring the safari vehicle either at the sound of a rifle shot or 15 minutes after sun up. Stowing our gear in the fully supplied Toyota 4x4 we agree to make a push deep into the hills of Matetsi Unit 2 and pursue the large Sable male that eluded us the prior day. Unit 2 can be described as a mixture of large flat pan’s with cross cut riverbeds buffered by gently rolling hills. Boarding Botswana to the west and a managed forest lands to the north, this clump of densely brushed wilderness proves excellent habitat for a myriad of species. Without fences, large herds of mixed game species roam freely across these nations borders. More importantly, MU2 is well known for holding large sable bulls. This is the key reason I’ve selected this area from all others in Africa. Since arriving and covering many miles, we’ve seen mostly immature males, small family groups composed of females and calf’s, except for the brief sighting and unsuccessful stalk on what appeared to be an excellent bull. As the hours rolled by I starting to second guess myself, did I pick the right area? Was this the right month? Was it too dry? Noticing my concern, my PH reminded me that mature male Sable Bulls are very territorial. They can sometimes be seen traveling within a family group or more commonly out alone inspecting their range and driving out any trespassing rival males. But “they are here and haven’t gone anywhere”, Darren reassures me. Read more...
First Buck With A Bow! Tuesday, 01 July 2008
I have been filming and bowhunting for about 10 years now and it seems whenever I came across a big buck, I was filming someone else. I finally connected last week! If you are an avid reader on my Field Journal (and who isn’t, really) you know I took my wife and kids up North to do some work and hang a new stand. I hunted that stand my first day up there and had no action until 4:30pm. The only deer I saw was a buck and he started making a scrape about 70 yards from me. I grunted to him and he didn’t even look up. It seemed like he was totally uninterested in me.After a few minutes, he moved up the trail a bit and started a new scrape. After working that one over, he made his way towards my stand. When he got to 25 yards and his head was behind a tree, I drew. He quickly hit the hooks and put his nose in the air. Even though I am extremely scent conscious, he knew something wasn’t right. He turned and looked as if he was going to run so I gave him one more grunt. Read more...
Fourth Season in Wisconsin Tuesday, 01 July 2008
Took out a client yesterday and this morning, we tried a new property I gained permission to hunt earlier in the week.To say this season is like night and day compared to the first three is an understatement! We arrived in the woods at 5:00 to a chorus of no less than 8 gobblers sounding off from their perch. Right away a mouthy boss hen cranked it up and got into a war of words with me. We traded insults for nearly 30 minutes till she finally had enough and went the other way, the gobbler however wanted to get a look at the new chick in the neighborhood and proceeded our way..............that is till he got to 80 yards and hung up: roll: After letting him move off we circled around to reposition on him, he cranked up and gobbled from 300 yards out and closing............

Fields Of Gobbling Gold Tuesday, 01 July 2008
“Gobbler on the right”, dad said as the huge bird emerged over the rise in the field. He then eased up his gun and clicked off the safety as the bird strutted from one hundred yards down to forty. With a quick cut on my diaphragm to get the gobbler’s head out, dad took the shot and down went to bird. My dad, Mike Lee, cousin, Matthew Story, and I had just completed and amazing hunt together on that muggy April morning. This particular bird had been seen several times strutting in this same harrowed cotton field. The 21 pound, 10 inch bearded gobbler was another result of hard work that finally paid off in the Turner County farm fields. Hunting turkeys in farm fields can be extremely difficult but adrenaline filled throughout the entire spring season. Many times as hunters, we have to deal with many factors when hunting birds in this manner, with most of the factors not in our favor. Having started turkey hunting about seven years ago, the circle of emotions runs from the highest high to the deepest low all in a matter of seconds. This holds true especially when hunting difficult field gobblers. Read more...
Why I Carry a Pistol While Bear Hunting! Tuesday, 17 March 2009
Landing in Yakatut is like flying into any of the Alaskan costal village towns. Half the plane is freight and the other half is an odd mix of hunters, business people and a local or two. After exiting the plane and entering the small room size terminal I get a sense that the cargo is more anticipated than the new comers. All sorts of crates, boxes and products are unloaded prior to our gear. So we sit and wait. They must see a fair number of short timers here. Well, I’m only here for 6 days so I grab my gear off the rack and meet up with my outfitter after a good 30 minute wait. Read more...
Summer Food Plots Tuesday, 01 July 2008
MISSISSIPPI STATE -- Cultivating food plots is an ideal way to provide much-needed forage for wildlife through late summer and attract these animals before hunting seasons begin."Planting food plots is a part of good land management," said Ben West, associate wildlife specialist for Mississippi State University's Extension Service. "Warm season plots can provide a number of benefits, such as preventing soil erosion and providing forage for many game animals when food quality and quantity are low. They also can provide a nesting habitat for smaller animals, like bobwhite quail."Landowners often overlook the value of warm-season food plots, but since deer population levels are so high in late summer, finding adequate forage may be difficult. Native plants do not produce as much nourishment until fall, when acorns and nuts are plentiful. Read more...
Making A Trophy Deer Shoulder Mount Wednesday, 02 July 2008
A hunter appreciates the importance associated with having a shoulder mount of the deer he or she hunted. It is a memento of an unforgettable hunting expedition. When you harvest a trophy deer, you may want to do a shoulder mount in order to preserve the magnificence of the animal. A good hunter needs to have detailed knowledge of the anatomy of the deer to be able to skin, gut, and dress the animal for a full body, shoulder, or head mount.Before skinning the head, the most important step is to take accurate measurements. Take measurements from the center of the nose to the front of both eyes. Take measurements from the nose to the sides of both the antlers. Then measure from the nose to the back of the skull. Also measure the circumference of the neck, about three inches behind the head.Now refer to the “skinning for a shoulder mount” article for instruction on how to cape the deer for a shoulder mount.
