Dave Richey Outdoors: Grunt Up a Buck

http://davericheyoutdoors.blogspot.com/2013/08/you-might-have-missed-this-chance-but.html

Tuesday, August 13, 2013. Grunt Up a Buck. You might have missed this chance, but with a. Well-placed call, you stopped him dead-in-his-tracks. And in your sights. The 8-pointer was slowly making his way along the edge of a thick tag alder run, and was crosswind to me. I gave one short, and one slightly longer grunt. Both were rather obnoxious sounding. My First Cut 90-grain broadhead. Took him behind the front shoulder and exited the brisket. He went 40 yards and folded up. I've used many calls from a t...

Dave Richey Outdoors: A lifetime of steelhead fishing

http://davericheyoutdoors.blogspot.com/2012/09/a-lifetime-of-steelhead-fishing.html

Monday, September 03, 2012. A lifetime of steelhead fishing. A buck steelhead hovering over a spring spawning bed. Photo c. Dave Richey Outdoors ©2012. A friend stopped by the other day with a buddy of his. The other gent wanted to meet me, and have a discussion about steelhead fishing. It began mildly enough when we shook hands, and we made small talk for a few minutes. Then, in a burst of what seemed like pent-up anger, he questioned me about my steelhead fishing. First of all, Bud, I wrote that two of...

Dave Richey Outdoors: Missing my twin brother

http://davericheyoutdoors.blogspot.com/2012/09/missing-my-twin-brother.html

Sunday, September 23, 2012. Missing my twin brother. George Richey (both photos) landing and holding a big king salmon. Photo c. Dave Richey Outdoors 2012. September 10 is a day I won’t likely forget. It’s the first day of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula black bear season, but that’s not why I remember it even though I’ve shot a bear on that day on several occasions. He didn’t fear death but embraced it. You see, George and I began steelhead fishing many years ago in the early 1950s, and we traipsed all over ...

Friday, April 27, 2012. Buying old turkey hunting books. Unique, Rare and Hard-to-Find books are what Scoop’s Books deals in: looking for and For Sale. Contact us today to Buy or Sell. Photos by Dave Richey. I spent just enough time outdoors today to go to the doctor, say hello to my neighbor and bask in the warming breezes. I’m trying to work some nasty knots out of my back, and it’s not working very well. I also am placing some books on eBay for auction purposes. Feel free to check them out. I already ...

Dave Richey Outdoors: From nature to a parking lot

http://davericheyoutdoors.blogspot.com/2012/09/from-nature-to-parking-lot.html

Saturday, September 01, 2012. From nature to a parking lot. A black bear near Traverse City eating summer berries. Photo c. Dave Richey Outdoors ©2012. Are you a giver or a taker? It's a simple question that goes far beyond a one-word yes or no answer. The bottom line here, in the event that this question may come as a big surprise to some of my faithful readers, is very simple. Do you take more from your fishing or hunting trips and your living area, than you put back? Things are much different now....

Sunday, July 29, 2012. Stacking time in the deer woods. Whitetail bucks have a way of keeping a hunter honest. Photo courtesy Dave Richey Outdoors ©2012. This doesn’t mean my valued readers are dishonest. It simply means that deer have the ability to make hunters learn new things on a regular basis. They also can make those hunters who think they know everything about deer a pretty humble group of sportsmen. Hunters who feel superior often learn a humbling lesson at the hands of a savvy buck. Southern fo...

Friday, March 30, 2012. Sitting Still is an art. Learn now. Calm your mind before starting to hunt; Don’t think! Sitting still is an art. Sit like you're asleep, but don't. Watch closely and learn. Photo Dave Richey ©2012. There is an art to sitting still. Not only motionless but doing so without making a sound. It may sound easy but it is a very difficult thing to do. Everyone fidgets at times, moving around, easing that tree stub that pokes you in the back, and swatting at mosquitoes. Many feel that on...

Saturday, May 26, 2012. The seasons last bird. Last ditch effort to salvage a turkey season. Not the best way to do this, but it can work. Maybe. Two gobblers crossed the road ahead of the car as my neighbor and I headed for town and a dental appointment. Both birds had long beards, and were traveling together. It's highly likely they won't be there. I should be out right now trying to roost the birds, but computer problems have messed up my schedule. I've just seen too many situations where the ...These...
