HUNTERS,
With spring here, we deer hunters are at the opposite end of the elliptical course we travel through
out our hunting year. There are turkey and bear to hunt in the spring, as well as fantastic fishing of all
kinds, but for the dyed in the wool hunter of the elusive whitetail buck, nothing else will do.
One pastime that will definitely keep you occupied if you have the time, is hunting shed antlers. They
are where you find them, however the areas that have been more likely to produce sheds, are the
bedding areas and the travel lanes leading to and from such locations. Bucks always seem to slow
down when entering the bedding areas and also tend to leave them at a leisurely pace. When it is time
for their antlers to drop, they seem to know it and will increase their rubbing activity to get rid of
them. The first places I check, are the travel lanes to and from the bedding areas. Next are the
bedding locations, and dividing them up into grids seems to be the most effective way to hunt the
sheds. Last would be the feeding grounds and occasionally, I get a call from my farmer friends letting
me know they have spotted a shed while preparing the soil for springtime planting. If you have been
unsuccessfully hunting a big buck, it is immensely pleasing to find one or both sheds from that deer.
Also at times, sheds are found from a buck that you have never seen. This just demonstrates how
elusive these bucks really can be.
I have touched on this before, there are a considerable number of sportsmen shows going on around
the country, starting in January and running through August. In this newsletter, I am going to
comment on two of them.
For those of you in the Louisville, KY area, on Saturday May 17th and Sunday May 18th, hunter
and recording artist, Ted Nugent is going to be at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville. Ted
is one of the loudest voices, when it comes to promoting our sport and gun ownership. He is a
staunch supporter of the NRA and is going to have a lot to say, while at the show, about the Second
Amendment. In my experience, his energy level and enthusiasm are second to none, in regards to the
issues he believes in. You will definitely come away with positive energy. To learn more, you may
visit his website at www.tednugent.com.
I have been invited to attend the 2nd Annual Southern Maryland Hunting and Outdoor Expo on
Saturday August 16th and Sunday August 17th in La Plata MD ( south of Washington DC ). This
Expo is being sponsored by Buck Wild Outdoors, whom by the way are introducing a new hunting
magazine this fall to the sportsmen of Maryland and the surrounding states. This magazine may be
previewed on their website at www.buckwildmagazine.com. Buck Wild Outdoors will be
distributing copies of their new publication at the Expo. Any of my readers who happen to be in the
area at that time are certainly welcome to come by our booth at Disappear Hunting Products and say
hello. I would look forward to meeting each and every one of you.
Finally, I was saddened today to learn of the passing of Charlton Heston, at 84 years of age. He had
been a leader in the NRA and had strongly promoted hunting and gun ownership during his entire
lifetime. As a popular public figure, he never compromised his beliefs because somebody might have
taken issue with his stand. Public icons of this stature are always greatly missed.
I hope spring time finds everything well with each one of you and until next month, take care.
