Mark Kayser's Blog - On the Trail with Mark Kayser

Smile Please

February 8, 2010

Do you still have your trail cameras out and recording what’s going down in your neck of the woods? If you don’t you could be missing out on some big buck action, interesting wildlife photos or even evidence on who’s been sneaking into your honey hole. It’s fairly inexpensive to keep trail cameras going in the [...]

Good Office Help Is Hard To Find

February 5, 2010

If you’re an employer you know that good help is hard to find. Take a look at the latest help in my office. As small business manager (my wife and I) I don’t have the same insight in employee dilemmas as I did when I worked for a huge employee machine nearly a decade ago, [...]

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

February 3, 2010

Happy anniversary! What’s the hoopla about? It’s the one-year anniversary of the launch of this blog thanks to the good folks at North American Hunter.
Who would have believed I’d still have a platform to blog about everything
from firearm rights to raising baby skunks, or nationwide whitetail tactics
to my son’s first buck.
When I look back over [...]

ALMOST OUTFOXED BY A COYOTE

February 1, 2010

Hopefully you got out and were able to chase a fox as I suggested prior to the weekend or even spent time scouting. I went coyote hunting and almost was outfoxed. It’s that time of year. Right now coyotes are cagier than a reality film crew trying to catch a cheating politician. I found this [...]

OUTFOXED AGAIN

January 29, 2010

When I first started venturing out on my own with a firearm in hand, one of my favorite wintertime pursuits was to crisscross the fields of eastern South Dakota in search of red fox. Back in the 1980s there actually were quite a few red fox scattered across the Midwest. That’s changed today with the [...]

A VERY EFFICIENT TRAVELER

January 28, 2010

Having just returned from another flight, the joy (or lack thereof) of flying is fresh in my mind. Sure it gets you to and from your destination quickly…most times, but the industry is nickel and diming us to no end. I had to pay $40 extra to get my bag to and from Las Vegas [...]

I’M BACK!

January 26, 2010

The evil grip of Sin City couldn’t hold me any longer. SHOT Show was interesting, exciting and even enlightening, but being cooped up in aisles trying to route through nearly 50,000 attendees can make a guy a little crazy. Even though the aisles are crammed with the newest in outdoor gear, it’s still a little [...]

DON’T MISS THE BOAT

January 22, 2010

Hunting season is never ending, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a starting point. That point is now. Yes, some hunting applications are already due and in the coming months more and more will need to be filled out if you want to be in the game next fall.
The obvious deadlines are for limited big [...]

SHOT SHOW: A SPORTING GOODS STORE ON STEROIDS

January 20, 2010

As you read this I’m wandering the aisles of the Sands Expo and Convention Center in beautiful Las Vegas. Although Las Vegas is what many consider to be a great playground getaway, I’d much rather be exploring the deserts surrounding this entertainment metropolis scouting for new coyote or deer hunting haunts. Nevertheless, SHOT Show is [...]

THANK YOU FOR HEALTHCARE REFORM

January 18, 2010

OK. You probably don’t have to scratch your head and wonder if I’m a big proponent of the current, desperate (really?) rush to overhaul healthcare reform. Sure there are problems with the system, but do we need more than 2,000 pages of legislation to correct the problems? I think not. Heck the original U.S. Constitution [...]
