8 Gauge Studios: November 2010
http://8gaugestudios.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 30, 2010. GRAND PASSAGE - Magellan at Willow Break (Day 1). With that in mind, it seemed only fitting that I'd be, not only the first to hunt over Magellan, but to do so at Willow Break. Like I said, the hunt is the after thought. Temps that are slowling falling, breezes that find there way out of the North for a day or so, last weeks dove hunt, what's on the grill, and will the ducks "get down" this year are the talk. To that end, Willow Break never fails to deliver:. I, however, did g...

8 Gauge Studios: January 2010

Sunday, January 31, 2010. The 'prose' such as it is, leaves a lot to be desired, but instead of edits, I'm gonna leave it 'as is'.I hope you enjoy. From the first seconds of meeting up with everyone, I knew it was gonna be a special hunt. The sheer excitement that Harden and Patrick exuded was palpable, Busky was his same ole ignorant self, and heck, I had even become one Delta hat richer. Harden, always pushing that stuff - go figure. Fifteen seconds later, he left no doubt. We musta gone through three ...

8 Gauge Studios: July 2011

Saturday, July 30, 2011. Magellan Hunts at BEAVER DAM". Magellan never (NOT ONCE) went on a hunt that wasn't truly important to a group of FRIENDS. Be it a long, arduous trip to North Dakota or a simple walk from the truck to the pit at L'anguille Lounge Duck Club and everywhere and every circumstance in between, showcasing the hunts among friends has been the single most important job Magellan had last year. WHERE: Beaver Dam Hunt Club, "Triple Tree Blind". When the alarm clock went off, I was wide awak...

8 Gauge Studios: December 2009

Monday, December 7, 2009. North by Northwest - Seaduck Hunting in Alaska". Leaving the day after Thanksgiving (or in Gordon's case, Thanksgiving day) leaves much to be desired as family sacrifices as much as we did in order for us to have a fun trip. Luckily, we're all blessed with good wives and families, and to my knowledge none of us came back to the proverbial "hot water". We actually got to fly in the "big" jet:. Big" absolutely being relative. In you'll note the runway/tarmac in the photo, you ...

8 Gauge Studios: The Skank

Monday, January 6, 2014. DISCLAIMER: I should probably go ahead and get this out of the way, if for nothing else than to say -. I WARNED YOU. I started this blog two or three years ago, not sure which and it doesn't really matter now, with the simple mission of. Getting my story out, of. Saying what's on my mind, and hopefully,. Who in the hell am I writing for? After that, I started looking at my writing, looking at everything about it, and it dawned on me. I'm not a. Proseand today, on January 6, 2014 ...

8 Gauge Studios: One...Last...Hunt
http://8gaugestudios.blogspot.com/2014/01/onelasthunt.html
Monday, January 27, 2014. One day I'll write something about it, but right now, it just doesn't feel right. Feels too much like an obituary. Took the old man out for one last hoorah on the last weekend of season. We've both lost a step or three, but can still get it done when it counts. Gauge, you've been my main man for nearly thirteen years. You've earned some couch time. Posted by Justin Harrison. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

8 Gauge Studios: March 2009
http://8gaugestudios.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 11, 2009. Suspicious, honery, hard-to-hunt animals get names, that's just the way it goes. Who hasn't hunted a "mossy horn", a "spook", a "nag toe" or a "limper"? When the sun would grace him in the afternoons he took on an almost silver look, glorifying his status as the "king of this here wood." Seeing him, knowing there would be no way to get to him, I'd hear ole Cajun growl, "that's him.". With the coming dawn, I grabbed the old Lynch box call Gran Gran gave me to practice with, my W...

8 Gauge Studios: The Choices Within
http://8gaugestudios.blogspot.com/2012/03/choices-within.html
Tuesday, March 20, 2012. Yesterday's hunt began like any other. The alarm clock went off, I hit snooze. Ten minutes later, the process is repeated. Twenty minutes after my alarm first went off, I rolled out of bed and began making coffee and pulling on the boots. I was right on time, I plan for the "snooze" contingency. You know, now that I write it down, turkey hunting ain't really the easiest thing to do. And, it shouldn't be. Well, you can take all that and push it in the garbage, thankykindly. I neve...
