Larry’s Blog: A Doe Before a Buck
“I’m having a problem getting our hunters to shoot does! I know you said we need to harvest somewhere around 40!” I interrupted my rancher friend and reminded him there needed to be at least 45 does taken during the present hunting season. And it would be better if it was 50 does. “What can […]

“You mind taking care of the steaks?” asked David Cotton when we returned to camp. “I’d be honored to grill the steaks your dad, Edgar, selected. Saw them earlier. Just hope I can do them justice!” I replied. Our guest of honor would be none other than Rick Lambert, who has numerous claims to fame […]
Larry’s Blog: Best Hunting Tool
Luke Clayton and I were recording my “Campfire Talk” segment for his weekly “Catfish Radio with Luke Clayton and Friends” radio shows and podcast, which we have been doing together now for seventeen years. “One last question..” said Luke. “What do you think the best tool a deer hunter can have to be successful?” Interesting!

Larry’s Blog: Denmark’s Fallow
“That was not a roe deer! Not with those antlers!” quipped I as a large set of tall, many tined palmate antlers seemingly floated just above and behind a rock wall. I glanced at Stefan Bengtsson.
