AFTER THE HUNT 001

THE STORIES START AT THE TAILGATE.

There’s a feeling that comes with hunting season that’s hard to explain… At Hooray Ranch in Kansas, it’s the late nights around the fire, early mornings around the breakfast table, and everything in between. Good stories, familiar faces, and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel right at home.

What’s the one hunting tradition you look forward to every year?

I was very unsure this buck was going to survive winter, so I was surprised (and very relieved!) to see his face last weekend.

In late October, he had broken a rear limb. In early November, shed his antlers and his body mass was severely decreased to the point of almost looking emaciated. I didn't see him again until early December and at that time, he wasn't using one of his front limbs and was barely able to hobble around to feed before he needed to lay down again. I saw him once or twice in January and he looked god awful. I was sure when I didn't see him again, he had passed.

This year is when he should entering his prime and had he not been injured, I think he would have really blown up. Instead, he's actually much smaller since his body had to use those minerals to heal his injuries instead of growing antlers. It'll be interesting to see if he stays that size next year or not and if this permanently stunted his antler growth. But it's absolutely crazy how resilient these animals are and I am so glad to see he made it through that harsh winter!

THE FLYWAY REPORT 001
OCTOBER 16–18, 2026

THE FIRST REAL PUSH?

The first real cold snap of the season is moving south, and things are starting to get interesting.

Minnesota is looking at northwest winds gusting up to 45 mph and freezing temperatures Saturday morning. North Dakota is already reporting fresh swans, redheads, and bluebills. The big mallard push? Still waiting.

Down south, North Texas is expecting strong north winds and temperatures dipping into the 40s.

One cold front won’t define the season, but it might be enough to get things moving. The question is, how far south will they go?

WHO’S SEEING FRESH BIRDS?

This seems to be pretty controversial among many hunters, do you pee from a tree stand or do you think it ruins your hunt?

October has been good to me in the past and this year it didn't disappoint. In Michigan we don't get a lot of bucks that make it past their 3rd birthday, this guy however had a few more than 3. For three years he's been on and off the @revealcellcam trailcams. The first year he showed up I knew he was at least 2.5 but thought he could have been 3.5 years old in 2024. For 2025 he summered on the ground I was hunting but disappeared come October. This year though not only did he summer there, he setup shop. Once season started he decided to spend his days in about a 100 yard circle. Every morning he'd walk past the same camera on his was to lay down, and at night he go one of two directions. I put in a small clover plot last year that I had mapped out using @huntwiseapp that he really enjoyed, only issue is that the wind has to be perfect to hunt it. October 11 and 12 he showed on that plot and on the 13th I had the wind I needed to get in there. He walked down the exact trail he taken the two previous days and came to 43 yards where he stopped, for 26 mins, standing nearly completely still. I'm positive he caught the slightest scent from me but couldn't quite pinpoint where it came from or whether it was just left over scent from being there before. Eventually he took a few more steps, turned broadside, and stopped at 38 yards. Once I got a look at his teeth I was shocked to see that he's probably in that 6-7 year old range, a true Michigan warrior. He had lost a ton of weight the last ten days he lived and when field dressing him I noticed his lungs and heart were fused to the inside of his chest cavity, something I had never seen. His days seemed to be numbered whether or not a hunter was going to catch-up to him. I've pulled his lymph nodes and will be submitting them for testing.
