Common Pain

 My favorite time of the year starts right now! It begins on Halloween and goes for about 6 weeks. In deer hunting terms these few weeks involve the pre-rut, rut, post-rut, and secondary rut. Each of these periods offers some exciting times to be in the woods. And if one is limited in the amount of days he or she can hunt, concentrating on this window of opportunity will provide the best chances...

Like New

One thing I notice each deer season is how much more aware of my surroundings at the beginning of the season than I am in the middle or toward the end. The first few times I’m in a treestand, I am quick to notice everything about my environment. I take notice not because I’m trying to gain a hunting advantage, but because it has been months since I was last in this place. The sights, sounds, and...

Encouragement

I can remember the first time I decided to learn to hunt with a bow. I was about 30 years old. Yeah, I know this seems old to some of you but at that time I did more fishing than hunting. I can also remember my friend Tim easing my mind concerning my ability to use one. He was one of the owners of the store I frequented. To me, the complexity of this weapon seemed overwhelming. His calm...

Complaining

As deer season begins, my mind goes back to my earlier and less mature years of hunting. Those were the days when I spent more time complaining on the stand instead of being thankful for the opportunity I had to be there. I complained about not seeing deer, about only seeing little ones, and about all my friends having better success than me. And who was I complaining to? Well, God of course. I...

Influence

Deer season is here. A few states have already opened, and the others are just around the corner. I am not prepared for this. I mean really, I am not prepared. I have put off hanging stands and setting up blinds. And I only have a few cameras out. The good news is that over the years my hunting habits have changed. I usually wait until late October before I get serious about getting into the...

Marking the Path

I’ve learned over the years to keep a watchful eye when I travel to a treestand in an unfamiliar place. I especially do this when I’m hunting in another state. I’ve been lost a few times. When I’m walking in, I always try to turn around and look back to see what the view looks like going in the opposite direction. I also mark certain topographical differences such as a fallen tree or one that...

Refusing Neglect

The last time I mowed my grass, I think it had reached about 10 inches tall. It didn’t look that bad, but I had let it go. The time before that, I mowed but didn’t take time to weedeat. And the bushes around my house need a little shaping. A few of them need elimination. There are some holes in my yard as well. They have appeared where trees used to be - trees that had been cut down. Now the...

Ross Fire

Jacksboro Texas is a special place to me. Of all places, this little town of fewer than 5,000 people changed the direction of my ministry 13 years ago. It was there that a few men gathered at the Davis Ranch, on the back deck, and talked about life and ministry. A little while later, I was invited back for a weekend of hog hunting and teaching. This was the first of what later became our Circle...

Purpose

In the early 1900’s, gun ownership for most families might have included a .22 rifle, a double barrel shotgun, a .30-30 lever action rifle, and a pistol. Many only had one or two of these. A pistol was often the last firearm on the list. A farmer looked at these guns not as something to collect or trade, but as tools. That same farmer would look at the collection that many individuals have...

Edna’s

As a young teenager, many of my summer days were spent fishing at the local canal. I remember the unique art of catching carp using whole kernel corn as bait. I also remember the little country store where I bought that corn. What I remember most about that place, however, was not my corn purchases but my candy ones. Edna owned the store and she had a candy counter that was strategically placed...

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!”
