Hello everyone,
I don't have too much to say, but would like to thank Matt for his contributions to the site. I'm sure with time the blog will be very popular amongst all of us. I already like reading the "lost archives." Take care everyone and enjoy life to the fullest.

Never had a blog before, nor have I ever blogged before (is that a verb?). I've been blogged a couple of times. I'm still trying to figure the benefits of this over forum posts. Guess I'll learn.

30-06 JDJ (One) vs. Deer (Zero)
By: Rog

November 19, 1999

Friday afternoon rolled around, and Derek, my son, arrived home from school. I completed loading our gear into the truck, and we headed off to the deer hunting lease. The lease comprised 160 acres near Welling, Oklahoma, situated on a dead end road, which one does not just stumble onto, but rather goes there on purpose.

Further Tales of the Nine Pine

I told about how the Nine Pine got its name in the first story of the tree. This is the further adventures I had in the same tree during the three years or so I hunted it.

The Nine Pine

This is the story of a pine tree in the Choccolocco Wildlife Management Area (CWMA) in Alabama and how it came to to known as the "Nine Pine" and the tale of its meaning to me.

TELICO JUNCTION WILD BOAR

March 7, 1993 dawned cloudy with rain a sure bet. Faye, my wife and I left our Anniston, Alabama home at 11:00 AM. The rain began within 10-15 minutes of our departure and continued for the rest of the 180 mile trip to Telico Junction. When we arrived at the home of Joe and Mazie Meeks it was still raining, but stopped while we talked with Joe about my hunt. We unpacked our gear and settled into the mobile home Joe had assigned us for our stay. The rain let up long enough for us to look around and take a few photos.

AXIS DEER AT THE ROARING ROCK RANCH

In March of 1991 my wife Faye and I headed our truck west to hunt with Thompson Temple in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. Faye was recovering from cancer surgery in January and I was just over a long bout with sciatica that had flattened me for three weeks. We wanted to relax and have some fun. My plan was to take a Corsican ram and a Catalina goat.

ALABAMA HANDGUN WHITETAILS

Since 1989 I have been hunting on a few hundred acres of land owned by a friend of mine and his family. The land joins FT. McClellan in Calhoun County. I have been very successful on this property having taken 16 deer with bow, rifle and handgun as of the end of November 1997.
