After the Storm by Larry Weishuhn

On my office wall is the mount that I cherish above all. No it’s not a 200 plus class typical whitetail, a 30 inch plus wide 5 x 5 mule deer, a 58 inch kudu, African Cape buffalo, or a full body griz...

Do You See Him? by Larry Weishuhn
October 15, 2011
“Do you see him?” came the question from under a sweat and dried blood stained felt hat. Before he could be answered, “He’s standing where you should be able to see his rack, neck and bit of his shoul...
Whitetail season is here at least for some. I won’t get to hunt again until the 16th of October. But, I just spent a week on Tim Fallon’s FTW Ranch shooting and doing some publicity shots (photograp...
Back From Alaska by Larry Weishuhn

Summer in South Texas by Larry Weishuhn
September 1, 2011
I live in arid southwestern Texas about 90 miles west of San Antonio and about 60 miles from the US, Mexico border. Ours is a land of thorn bush and cactus. Our native vegetation is covered with spine...

July 5, 2011
It’s been about four or five years since last I got to hunt Africa. That safari took place near the Etosha Game Park in northcentral Namibia hunting with Barry Burchell’s Frontier Safaris. At the time...
Alaska... Just the mere mention of the state that dwarfs in size even my home state of Texas evokes dreams of clear air and water, high mountains and wild game that is both impressive and sometimes do...
Been Turkey Hunting Lately? by Larry Weishuhn
May 6, 2011
“Been turkey hunting lately?” came the familiar voice on the other end of the phone. Before I could answer the voice snickered...then started laughing out loud. I guess he knew the answer before he as...
The trip home from Aukland, New Zealand to the USA was a seemingly long and bumpy one. Over the years I’ve spent many, many days in the air, either as a passenger on a commercial airliner or as an obs...
The hour is late but, and for some reason I remember the words or possibly title of song I heard a long time ago sung by Tom T. Hall, “Old Friends, Children and Watermellon Wine”. According to Mr. Ha...
Off to New Zealand by Larry Weishuhn

February 2, 2011
Joaquin raised his hand warning a stop, then pointed at the tree and bushes into on the edge of the drop which sloped to a creek bottom thicket less than 50 yards away. I moved slightly to the right ...
“I could hardly believe it. We were seeing 60 or more bucks a day. And they’re still chasing hard!” commented my old friend and hunting partner from Kansas, Stan Christiansen on Thanksgiving Day whe...
I’m going to digress a bit before getting into the current hunt report. I seldom get to watch television and especially outdoor shows. But this past week I’ve been in Hamilton, Montana doing “green ...
“Didn’t see hardly any deer this morning, but I did see 7 coyotes.” responded Nacho Molina to my question of what he had seen during his morning hunt as I stood in the scoring area at the Los Cazadore...
“Are they running yet?” Is a question I have often been asked...and this week and the coming week throughout much of North America the answer is a resounding “YES”. I was in central Missouri on Don...
I know, I’m a week late in getting this to you. And I wish I could say I’ve been hunting so I’d have a really good excuse...like I was busy dragging out a monster buck or a huge bull...but truth is I’...
Bow seasons and regular seasons are well under way...and I wish I were hunting somewhere in Texas this morning, October 1, because it’s the coolest morning in Southwest Texas that we’ve since last win...
One of the great things about the wilds of central Alaska is the lack of communications...and one of the bad things about being in the wilds of central Alaska is a lack of communications. When Week 4...
“Think you can hit that red rock at the bottom of the pile of dirt right behind the target?” queried the hunter who had walked up behind me as I finished making certain my Ruger .454 Casull Super Redh...
Perhaps this week’s weekly hunt report should be titled, “The Sometimes Weekly Hunt Report”. And with that stated I have to apologize for essentially missing a week. I had good intentions, but sometim...
