Should You Shoot Small Bucks?

You know, I never took this questions very serious until recently. Over the past few years, I've seen this question start some real knock down and drag out debates (okay, arguments!) in online deer hunting forums. But I've been seeing more and more of them lately whenever someone asks if they should be shooting small [...]

Cross Creek Striper Fishing report 1/15/2011

Well as far as fishing this time of year, I guess I am a land lover.    I have never found the cold weather or the fish to be interesting enough to freeze to death.   I feel I don't hate the fish that much, and know it gets better fishing during the spring, and the rest [...]

Japanese Hammer in a More Versatile Color

So I’ve been tying different variations on the Japanese hammer and thought it might be good to tie some in a tried-and-true color scheme:  the Adams. This pattern pretty much has everything I want for fishing the high mountain streams of the Rockies:  it’s buggy, buoyant, hi-vis, and easy-to-tie.  Tied in the colors of the [...]

StriperInc Lake Texoma Fishing Report 3/7/2011

It is evident that March has arrived as it seems the wind is always blowing which can make fishing tough as Lake Texoma can get rough and you are limited to where you can fish but I’ve been making it work thus far. The catfishing has died down a bit as expected for March and the [...]

Don't Tell Me I Should Have Passed This Jake...

by Dave Hurteau

You may remember that I arrowed a forkhorn buck last October and posted a picture of it in this space accompanied by the obligatory (these days) explanation of why I shouldn’t have to apologize for shooting a small buck, which is almost like an apology itself—but isn’t one exactly, I insist. Yesterday morning I shot a jake turkey. So here’s my non-apology:

I don’t get the whole pass-a-jake thing. I admit it’s probably arbitrary. I love turkey hunting, but for whatever reason the gobbler-as-trophy idea has never resonated with me. I’ve killed a number of toms but have never saved a single beard or fan or spur. On the other hand, I’ve passed lots of bucks in the hope of shooting one with bigger antlers, and I have racks on display in every corner of my office. Go figure. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the Stone Age artists painted animals with exaggerated antlers—not so much outsized beards and spurs. Maybe not.

A brisk, beautiful morning on Lake Texoma

Saturday morning is what most Texans call brisk, temperature 39, winds 4-5 mph.   We headed out of Highport Marina and crusied over to the Big Mineral Arm of Lake Texoma.  I have to say that with longjohns and a couple of layers of shirts and some coveralls it wasn't too bad.  As we eased thru Cedar [...]
