It looks like the sheds are falling across the country. Man, some of these journal entries have some whoppers in them don't they!? Did you check out Todd's latest...cool. Good luck to everyone. I just wanted to give you a litt... 1/30/2008 http://huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal_detail.aspx?nID=842 My Dad and I were going about our morning chores and checking out our cow herd in the Ford when I spotted this high-racked buck on a riverbank from a 1/2 mile or better away. I didn’t have my binocs with me at that time, but he looked to be a big-bodied mature buck. He had a hot doe pinned against t... 12/21/2007 http://huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal_detail.aspx?nID=841 HuntingNet.Com's very own Mike Hanback completed his annual hunting trip to Montana early this past November, and what a blast we had. Mike opted to leave the video cameras home this year (sorry, Whitetail Revolution fans!). With Mike’s hectic schedule throughout the season, it was a treat for him t... 12/21/2007 http://huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal_detail.aspx?nID=840 Scout Your Buck in June, Kill Him in...November or December?? I Spotted this gnarly 6x6 buck while still sporting his bulging velvet covered knobs during my summer scouting routine. Remember my " Montana Bucks in Velvet 3: 6x6 and droptine! -08/29/2007  article from this past summer here ... 12/21/2007 http://huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal_detail.aspx?nID=825 Jeff Price came to camp from the the great state of Georgia in early October with the right attitude and it paid off. His goal was to tag out on a great Montana Whitetail Buck with his bow, and if it didn’t work out, that’s how it was. Guys like that seem to have the best luck and tag the best buck.... 11/30/2007 http://huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal_detail.aspx?nID=824 Hunting as a professions is dangerous. I don’t mean dangerous in relation to my safety or physical well-being, but rather that one has to be careful not to get burnt out making a living out of his favorite pastime, his obsession. That can be dangerous to a person’s sanity and his escapement. I ha... 11/30/2007 http://huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal_detail.aspx?nID=760 Wow, what a busy season it has been up here on the Milk River in NE Montana. Hunting season always seems to come and go so fast, and as a guide during the fall the time seems to be made even that much shorter. Montana always has a week long break in the big game hunting season during the middle of O... 10/18/2007 http://huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal_detail.aspx?nID=564 Man, it is hard to believe hunting season is already over...every year it seems like it keeps getting shorter and shorter. I apologize to all of you for it being so long since my last entry...seems like the last half of season is always more hectic than the first half...and adding a new baby to my f... 9/6/2007 http://huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal_detail.aspx?nID=589 Well, it seems when I spend most of my time in the woods guiding other hunters I don’t get to hunt much for myself. Cry me a river, right?  Yea, I hear you.  Anyway, this year was no exception and the majority of my hunting time was done at the very end of the season. What a time I had tho... 9/6/2007 http://huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal_detail.aspx?nID=590 What can I say...I married into a great family. Tara’s Dad and Brother (let’s not forget her Mom) are hunting a fishing freaks. If Nick isn’t out calling in another fat coyote and shooting it with one of his many varmint rifles (the guy needs to trade some guns for some bows if you ask me!), he’s ou... 9/6/2007 http://huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal_detail.aspx?nID=627 The Montana Department of Fish and Game elected to have a late season doe hunt after the regular season ended in November here in Northeast Montana. For traditional bowhunters, a late season doe hunt is an excellent opportunity to hone our hunting skills and add meat to the freezer. The late season ... 9/6/2007 http://huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal_detail.aspx?nID=718 I photo'd this nice 6x6 from a treestand I was setting up midday a few weeks back. He was a couple of hundred yards out and it is tough to get a steady rest with the telephoto lens out of a treestand when taking pictures at this distance.  Boy, the digital age is nice.  I am a... 8/29/2007 http://huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal_detail.aspx?nID=716 My friend and fellow traditional bowhunter Adam Morehouse of Glasgow, Montana is no stranger to hunting Montana’s variety of big game. After shooting a recurve for the last several years, he decided to further challenge himself by picking up a longbow. He capitalized rather quickly by hunting Montan... 8/29/2007 http://huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal_detail.aspx?nID=715 Here are some more picture for you guys and gals who just can't seem to get enough.  I hope this gets you through your office or stuck at home fix and tides you over untill the weekend!  These are a little more recent. Story continues below ----... 8/26/2007 http://huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal_detail.aspx?nID=714 I have been swamped getting ready for Montana's Archery Season to open up September 1st...wow.  We are constantly adjusting to both minor and major changes in the deer patterns here on the river bottom with new treestands and blinds.  As my yearly ritual continues, so does it here at hunti... 8/26/2007 http://huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal_detail.aspx?nID=698 Sometimes, putting your hands on a Whitetail buck that you have been watching for two years can be bitter-sweet. It was the 11 th of December 2005 when my Uncle Roy had found the Mutt Buck’s sheds while pheasant hunting. We were passing by a barley bale that I had put out for the deer to fe... 7/23/2007 http://huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal_detail.aspx?nID=691 I wasn’t able to do as much shedding as I had wanted to this last spring, but what I was able to get in was pretty productive for the most part. I hate to find dead bucks that show some gnarly potential if only they could live long enough. I found this buck while shed hunting this past March. The co... 7/17/2007 http://huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal_detail.aspx?nID=680 Catching up with Ya! Sheds, heads, longbow kills, calling coyotes and More! Wow, what a crazy late winter, spring, and early summer for me and my family. Let me apologize for being M.I.A .for a few months to my readers and friends out there that have been e-mailing and calling me wondering where ... 6/18/2007 http://huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal_detail.aspx?nID=638 If you’ve read Mike Hanback’s latest book titled "Bowhunting Mega Bucks" you’ll know that I love to get out early in the Spring after the last snow has melted off and search for sheds in pastures and woods where cows have either grazed bare that previous fall or have wintered in the past few months.... 3/30/2007 http://huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal_detail.aspx?nID=636 Well, until recently, the Field Goal Buck was the one that got away. If you read my recent journal titled "I Choked, but an Old Bear Got the Meat", you’ll know that I choked on a nice buck I had dubbed the Field Goal Buck because of his long, parallel brow tines. I had gotten pictures of th... 3/30/2007
