You may find it hard to believe but I enjoyed a couple days off the grid. Only used my computer to import photos from my camera and a couple of the guys I was hunting pheasant with. It was a nice break but I’m back at ZimmComm World Headquarters and ready to rock and roll. This is our group with …
Happy Hunting Crew
Here’s the happy hunting crew at Mystic Prairie hunting lodge. The early season (preserve permit) weather has been a challenge. Hot and windy. Temps in the 80’s with wind gusting to 36 mph. Not the best weather for hunting pheasant but we got the job done. By the time I get this posted Cindy should be in Minnesota where she’ll …
Hunt Junkies Goes To Devils Country
My main man Russell Graves has been putting his new Canon 5D Mark II digital SLR to good use in the production of his Hunt Junkies show. He needed a new camera after his previous one met with the “untimely death” referred to in his description of the latest episode. I talked Russell into attending the recent Ag Media Summit …

Sights and Sounds of the Dixie Deer Classic
I don’t know if you’ve ever been to a hunting show but even though I’m a hunter I haven’t until last week at the Dixie Deer Classic. This was a pretty cool event and I didn’t buy too much stuff. So if you’d like to get a feel for it I put together a string of video clips from this …
Dixie Deer Classic Wrapup
The Dixie Deer Classic will end tomorrow but I won’t be here. I finished up my work with the Drive Green Tractor Utility Show this afternoon. It wasn’t all hard work though and I had time to wander around. Today they had a flea market on the grounds that was huge. Apparently it’s every Saturday on the North Carolina State …
It’s A Convention For Hunters And Outdoorsmen
He says he’s grown old with the Dixie Deer Classic. But Bruce Blackwell, General Manager, doesn’t look old to me. I caught up with him relaxing on a golf cart this afternoon. I made him get up for a picture though. He says the show started in 1981. He says the easiest way to describe the show is, “a great …
Deer Classic Media Room
Here’s another case of the shooter getting shot. And I don’t mean Deer or Deere. I’ve been on and off the computer today here at the Dixie Deer Classic and loving the free open wireless internet access. There’s no formal media room but since I’m working for the Drive Green Utility Tractor Show today and tomorrow, I had no problem …
The Deer Measurer
I don’t know is he’s really called the Deer Measurer but he is one and he says, “Have tape measure, Will travel.” He’s Dave Boland and he’s an official measurer for Pope & Young, Boone & Crockett, Long Hunter Society and the North American Shed Hunters Club. He explained the process for coming up with the measurement to score deer …
Porta Climb For Dixie Deer
I’m on location in a deer hunters paradise. Well, I’m not in the woods looking at a big buck but I am at the Dixie Deer Classic. This is a big show at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds. John Deere has their Drive Green Utility Tractor Show set up here and I’m actually posting from one of their displays since …
