Hunting With Ethan, My Grandson!
May 11, 2012
My handsome Grandson, Michael "Ethan" Ramson Kelly.
I took this picture of a shadow of a deer stand around 4 p.m. on a November day in 2006, just after deer season opened for a youth hunt. I had my grandson, Michael "Ethan" Kelly, and we were hunting at my deer camp, Jasper Bottom Hunting Club, in Claiborne County, MS. We had a fun day hunting and he used my .270 Ruger Featherweight. Sorry to say that this picture was the only thing shot that day!
I also submitted this picture to The Vicksburg Post in December and it was published in the paper on Sunday, January 14, 2007. Readers can submit photos of interest to the paper via e-mail. I was so excited to see it!
Before we started our hunt, I let him shoot my rifle and as you can see, he centered a coke can. He was so proud!! He will make a great hunter! I have three grandson's and a step-grandson that are hunters now and I am so proud of them all and are posted with their successful hunts on this blog.
Update: Ethan shot a doe while hunting with his step-grandfather two years ago in Hinds County and I have not received the picture yet. I hope to someday and will post it on my blog.
Ethan recently joined the Air Force and will graduate on May 22, 2012, at the Mississippi Coliseum from Raymond High School. I am so proud of my grandson and I wish him the very best and will keep him in my prayers for his new calling in life. Congratulations Ethan! I love you, Gran Gran

Justin Glass, age 7, caught this 6-pound bass out of a pond in Warren County. Justin was fishing a green zoom worm under a bobber. Look at those happy faces! My congrats to Justin and to Braxton in our great wild outdoors.

My "Rather-Be-Hunting-GuyTM" Bobblehead
April 26, 2012
They produce bobbleheads, car decals, and bumperstickers based on a comic book about a hunter/office worker named Dale Dunnerway. He is a struggling office worker who really wants to be a professional sportsman. Hunting dominates every part of his life. He is looking for ammo sales online, practicing deer calls on breaks, and he is the only one in the office who brings deer venison to the office party.
Sara also sent me this bobblehead for a review. I think he is so "cute" and told her I would be delighted to show him off to my blogging hunting friends. She said that there is a bobblehead for everyone and everything, why not hunting? Dale Dunnerway is a hunting mascot for your car, office, or fireplace mantle.

This is the family member who would gladly abandon a normal life and move to the country to become an outdoor guide.Dale Dunnerway holds this dream. He sits all day in a small cubicle and dreams of a life in the woods. He wants to be outdoors enjoying beef jerky, practicing duck calls, and building a deer stand.

Limit Out followed this book in 2009 with Rather-Be-Hunting Guy & Life’s Demands. Both comics follow Dale’s dreams of becoming a professional hunter and how his hobbies affect his co-workers lives. Their goal is to release one comic each year in time for the hunting and gift buying season.

· Joe: Dale’s coworker who loves sports and thinks Dale may need psychiatric counseling
· Travis: Another of Dale’s coworkers who thinks Dale just got lucky and landing a good office job
· Jenny: Dale’s coworker who thinks Dale is a nut job

My Real Hunter’s Wives Decal

Oh Nooooo – A Back Yard Bear?
April 13, 2012
Bear in the back yard! Came across the patio then to the side yard, maybe checking if the cherries were ready yet. Sorry about the rear view - took me awhile to get things together.

Naughty Bear

Wonderful pictures from the Simferopol Zoo, Ukraine.
A baby bear made his mother angry. She tried to explain something to him in the corner
and then shook him by the neck.
Sorry Mama!
After that she hugged him like a real mother.
Real Hunter’s Wives Decal Logo
April 11, 2012
Yesterday, I was fortunate to win the above decal logo on Facebook by Real Hunter's Wives page and I can't wait to receive it and put on our truck. All I had to do to win was to share this logo on my Facebook page and make a comment that I had done so. They also have a website called, RealHuntersWives.com and quotes that it takes a special woman to be with a hunter and to support him. It's all the better if the woman hunts with the hunter in my case. It's also a place where hunters wives can share hardships, laughs, recipes while their men hunters disappear into the woods. The site has a forum you can join and a trophy room to share hunting pictures. I was fortunate to be invited by my husband-to-be while we were dating to go with him on hunts and told him one day, I can do this! I have been hunting now for 27 years and have some great memories to share on my blogs. Go and check out the Facebook and website of the above of hunting stories, what products you use, and what you want out of life. If you do have a husband that goes to the woods and leaves you home with the children or if you go with your man to the woods, this is the place to come and enjoy the camaraderie.

Wild Game: A Very Healthy Food Group
April 9, 2012
I just read that wild game is now considered one of 11 in the healthiest of food groups. According to Rodale (Where Health Meets Life) they liked wild game because it was "free of the taint of chemical fertilizers" since the animals forage for food in the wild. It is a healthy super food that's a prescribed diet by some physicians of wild game to patients with high blood pressure.
Wild animals aren't just free of the taint of chemical fertilizers, they're also free of hormones, antibiotics, and even the antibiotic-resistant bacteria so common in factory-farmed animals, according to a study published last year in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology. Meat from deer, elk, wild boar, and other feral creatures also has fewer calories, lass saturated and total fat, and even lower levels of cholesterol. The primary concern with wild game is lead contamination; hunters use leaded bullets, fragments of which can get introduced into the meat.
The advice was quoted as saying, "Go to the hunting regions during the proper season. Many of the resorts serve venison and other game meats." But you don't really have to travel that far in this day and age. A number of online retailers sell wild game meats. Just be sure to ask about whether the retailer tests for lead.
I was totally unaware that you could purchase venison online. Since my husband and I have been hunters for over 27 years I have found out that it is a very healthy way to go and good for you. We try to get at least two deer a year and will last us until next season. I usually take it to a meat processor and they make it into deer burgers and/or sausage for us. I do keep out the tenderloin for steaks. Also, if we are lucky to get another deer, I will save the hindquarters for roast. It is a healthy way to go and lucky that we have been exposed to the sport of hunting for food.
The other healthy food groups within are - salt water fish, kelp, mushrooms, coconut, watercress, wild berries, wild rice, organic maple syrup, raw honey and nuts.
