As displeased as Saban seemed to be by this new NIL landscape in college football, I can't imagine him jumping right back into it.

Big kitty in Athens.

They have been edgy, not sure if it's the snow/visibility or the crunchy noise they make in it or what. My previous hunt to last night, on Sunday, I hunted the same tree and had a single doe work through. She was a few steps from a shooting lane and all of a sudden threw on the brakes and...

The gun opener was bitter cold, but a battery heated vest and insulated boot covers made it bearable. I wore the boot covers a few times this season and they were really handy. With the season I was having, the first doe I saw with the muzzleloader was getting shot. About two hours into...

I've done a horrible job updating this journal. So here's the season in a nutshell: rough. After the mistake of the first nearly month of the season focusing on the city land where I couldn't shoot the deer I was encountering, I was excited to get to some public spots. A few locations I had...

Can't get much colder than the 1st shot of the day when it's about 13 degrees outside.

The one good thing I read online about these hunting bans (I agree, it won't 100% stop someone from poaching) is that they are typically reciprocal to other states. I think it was an article about the Hollywood buck from VA. So he won't be able to legally travel to other states and hunt, the ban...

I wish the fine had been more. Not that it's "nothing," but that deer was worth a lot more than that, IMO.

I'm sure it flew under 98% of the radar, but something historic for Ohio University football happened in Detroit on Saturday. OU had not won a football title since 1968. During my time at OU, we went to a lot of football games knowing we would lose, and only going to see good players on the...

The cardinal sin with overmatched opponents is letting them hang around. The longer an underdog stays close in a game, the more confident they become and all of the pressure is on the heavy favorite.

The defense was not responsible for that loss. They held Michigan to 13 points, and their only TD was scored on a "drive" that started inside the 5 yard line after an INT. One of the FG's was made after a short punt from OSU on a drive that was 4 plays/3 yards and resulted in a 54 yard kick that...

I think they need a change...but I also don't know who exactly they will get to replace him to take the next step. As much as I want to see a change after that debacle on Saturday, I feel like there has to be a homerun hire lined up before making a move. I, personally, don't see that obvious...

Congrats, awesome buck!

I honestly didn't think Day was on a hot seat until seeing that performance against Nebraska. I know there are line injuries, but it's Nebraska. I'm not all that optimistic they can perform well enough to win at PSU this weekend. A 2nd Big 10 loss likely keeps them out of Indianapolis for the...

Clock management after the play that got them into FG range with under a minute was awful. I'd semi-understand it if they didn't have a TO, but they did. What's the point in hanging onto the TO if there's no time left on the clock to stop!? Honestly, I thought this game (in the grand scheme of...

I've seen this in travels, and it sort of strikes me as "new age panhandling." Do you see cars on the road with writing in their back glass saying stuff like "Just graduated college, Venmo me at @________ and buy me a drink!" or something along those lines. I don't particularly care for seeing...

Sit 2 The Widow got to perch in a tree for the first time. I hunted the city property on Thu afternoon. Cameras had been showing a lot of deer activity so I took the afternoon off to hunt. My entry into the woods was early, hoping to let things calm down after I got in, knowing I'd almost...

I needed another grunt tube option like I need a kick to the pills, but I've always loved the HS True Talker's tone and ease of use and sound. I had this one laying in my collection for a while. I took the "camo" wood barrel I turned for another call a year or two back and modified it to...

If you ever have a chance to hit the Naughty Lobstah food truck when it comes through Ohio, I'd suggest you do it if you're a lobster person. I had the New Orleans roll on Saturday in Athens. It's buttered lobster, blue crab, and sriracha. It was excellent.

Don't know why, but I really enjoy sharpening single bevel heads. The Version C guide from Stay Sharp helps a lot with these Crimson Talon Cleaver heads with their curved design. I had a few of these heads already sharp from last year so I just stropped them a bit to freshen them up. This head...
