Larry’s Blog: A Pair to Draw To
Hunting seasons looms on the horizon here in Texas. Mourning dove hunting is practically here. Big game seasons are opening elsewhere and numerous have already begun across North America. As this is being written, I’ve started packing for a moose hunt in British Columbia with Love Brothers & Lee. On that hunt I’ll be using […]
Larry’s Blog: Gemsbok
“Not going to get closerrr! Too many eyes and not enough coverrr. Can you take him for herrre?” questioned Fred Burchell. Before I could answer, he added, “The bull on the farrr left. His horrrns are at least 38. The big cow rrright in the middle is about 42. Want to leave herrr as a […]
Larry’s Blog: Long Range – Is it Time?
My goal as a hunter has always been to get as close as possible before squeezing the trigger. I love the challenge of getting close to whatever animals I’m hunting. Maybe that’s why I have long been fascinated with handgun hunting. I have hunted with a bow, but never became enthralled with archery. I did […]

Larry’s Blog: Denmark’s Fallow
“That was not a roe deer! Not with those antlers!” quipped I as a large set of tall, many tined palmate antlers seemingly floated just above and behind a rock wall. I glanced at Stefan Bengtsson. My outfitter/guide/fellow wildlife biologist and more importantly friend grinned. “That had to have been a fallow buck, unless it […]
Larry’s Blog: Bearly Today
“Larry really likes sitting on the ground!” answered Brad Fenson before I could, when questioned about how I liked hunting bear. I nodded enthusiastically! “Perfect! We’ve got just the stand for him. There’s been a really smart old bear coming into one of our stands. He’s been seen briefly several times. Hunters we’ve had in […]
Larry’s Blog: The Aging Outdoorsman or Outdoorswoman
Recently while scanning some “social media”, which I only do very occasionally, I found a photo of an older hunter with a really nice whitetail buck. The caption read, “Granddad, even at 69 is still getting it done!” That statement made it sound like he had escaped from his death bed or the “Old Folks […]
Larry’s Blog: Becoming A Hog Pistoleero!
Looking for a bit of a challenge? Might I suggest hunting wild hogs with a handgun and more specifically doing so with a Taurus Raging Hunter revolver! Why a pistol and why a revolver over some of the other handgun actions? With me it goes back to a time when I used to play “cowboys”, […]
Larry’s Blog: The Never Give Up Buck
Did you ever see a “good” buck on your way to camp, or, in a trail camera photo then hunted him in that immediate area for several days? Then when you did not see him, gave up and started hunting elsewhere? In that case, did you ever wonder what happened to that buck? Was he […]
Larry’s Blog: Planning
It may be Spring, and your thoughts are upon calling in a gobbler, hunting black bear, or if you’re truly fortunate heading to the southern hemisphere in search of big game adventures. Those indeed are fun and truly worthwhile. Even if those are, or are not, in your immediate future, I have got a feeling […]
