Outdoor Truths

I just returned from Texas. It was 3 days of hanging around a neat bunch of guys, bookended by turkey hunts on each day. It’s true. While hunting was part of our trip, the real enjoyment came before, during, and after, mealtimes. We ate so good I thought I might have to book two seats on my flight back home. It was a trip I will never forget. I missed a hog, missed a tom, and then shot a tom,...

Where Two Gobbler Roost

I can take you where two gobblers roost. They are in the same place about five of seven days. We have been meeting and talking several mornings since the season opened. I can describe what they look like. They have walked within 35 yards of me. They have come from behind me, beside me, and in front of me. Sometimes they came quietly and sometimes they broke through like a bull in a china shop....

Changing without Complaining

In my home state of Tennessee, turkey season starts on April 12th. For years the opening dates were always the last Saturday in March. But as the number of birds started to decline, the game commission changed the dates. While there were probably several reasons, I think one of the main ones was to let the hens get bred before hunting season. While I hate waiting the two extra weeks, I think the...

Changing Patterns

Deer give us a great example of how patterns change according to one’s needs. Right now, in many parts of the country, we are seeing a changing pattern. I always break these down into three periods; early spring through late summer, late summer through fall, and winter. Let me explain. In the early spring through late summer, the land is full of all sorts of food. The deer do not have to travel...

Causing Courage

I remember the last time I came back from a river-fishing trip with a friend. It was a beautiful morning to be on the water. The early morning, during the summer, is usually the best because the heat really picks up about mid-morning. That day was no different. By 10:30, our hopes were fried, along with our back and neck. But even before that, the action was minimal at best. We caught a few...

A Former Thicket

I found a warmer day to cruise a property that I hunt. While I initially went to look for deer sheds, I really just needed to get outside and take in anything that was not manmade. But this time of year, it’s really more than that. During deer season, hunters normally sit still in a few specific places. After all, we don’t want to stink up our hunting area and cause the deer to leave. What we...

Experience

This winter has lingered longer than I wanted. I’m glad March is just around the corner. While that month is unpredictable, most likely there will be more warmer days than miserable ones. And I’m here for it. What is also just around the corner is turkey season. No matter what the weather brings, that first week of April will get me back in the woods. This year, it seems I’ve been more excited...

What’s the Question?

I can remember my first solo deer hunting trip. I sat in a maple tree that was only about 50 yards from an oak tree that was flooded with acorns. The path to that oak made its way right under my tree stand. I remember sitting there in an old Baker climbing stand that thankfully was later stolen by someone while hunting in Alabama (they probably saved my life). Everything about that hunt was new....

Speaking of Celebration

I love the warmer days of winter. It gives me a chance to walk my hunting areas. Because the leaves are off the trees and because there is no concern about spooking deer, I can gather all kinds of information from the last season. It is a great time to assess the good and bad of the previous year and plan some changes for the next. The woods will give a hunter plenty of information about the...

Making it Easy

Deer season has been over for a few weeks now, and turkey season is right around the corner. I like how each of these are so different than the other. If hunting turkeys involved as much as hunting deer, I would have to give up one. In days past, they were. Let me explain. Years ago, deer hunting hardly...

Testimonials

“We were searching for someone who would be more than a speaker. We wanted someone who would connect with our event and effectively present the Gospel. We found that in Gary Miller. The first year with Gary, out attendance grew to 600 and over 20 people committed their life to Christ. The next year, attendance reached 800 and 56 decisions were made! God has uniquely gifted Gary for this ministry and his personality, heart for Christ, and genuine interest in outdoorsmen provide the necessary tools. Gary not only became our speaker, he became our friend as well and I would strongly recommend Gary and his books to all those who are interested in reaching people for Christ.”

Mark McArthur

Pastor, Goss Baptist Church

“Gary Miller recently spoke at our first annual “Wild Game Dinner” event which was a great success. Gary assisted our staff and lay people in coordinating this event and we sincerely appreciate his servant’s heart. Our attendance exceeded three hundred and the highlight of the evening was when ten men gave their lives to Jesus Christ! No one could have related better to these outdoorsmen than Gary Miller. I recommend him without reservation. I trust you will use him soon and often.”

Phil Hoskins ThD

Senior Pastor, Higher Ground Baptist Church

“The success of our event was largely due to the planning strategies presented to us by Gary Miller. Gary met with our planning team on several occasions and shared with us many great ideas that made this event run smoothly from the time the people entered the parking lot to the final drawing of the ATV! Our greatest success of the whole event was that there were 26 decisions for Christ!! With Gary’s leadership and wealth of information and expertise, we feel the Turkeyfest went over the top!”
