Deer Hunting

Setting the Stage So you’re walking out of the pro shop with your brand new V3 or Solution SD, or maybe it was just a new string and tune up on your PSE Carrera. Either way, the first thing you are going to want to do is fling some arrows. I know this because that’s […]

Planning and accommodation: When I asked my Fiance Amanda to accompany me on a seven-day deer hunt the third week of  December, in Nebraska, at the Fort Niobrara National Wildlife refuge. I did not think she would oblige. I looked at her over my camo coffee mug that October afternoon and said in a joking […]

It was Saturday, November 14th, 2020. During a year that seemed to have something strange happening around each corner, for PA, this particular weekend was no different. The next day, November 15th would be the first Sunday of hunting in Pennsylvania’s history, well for deer at least. But, this story isn’t about Sunday hunting, this […]

From the time I could tie my boots I was always intrigued with the outdoors.  I never knew how important doing things a certain way could play into the success of a hunt until I found myself at the age of seven, out of my comfort of a heated shooting house, and sitting on the […]

Evaluating this small plot: April was the month I first stepped foot on that thirteen-acre piece of land. I immediately fell in love. Right away, I knew I was going to make an offer on that Ohio property and the home that came with it. My fiancé and I had been renting an old farmhouse […]

On Friday, December 4th the Arizona Game and Fish Commission voted 5-0 to ban trail camera use in Arizona. This sets a dangerous precedent moving forward for all outdoorsmen across the country. Though this is not the first time that this issue has come up in Arizona. In the last year, this came to a […]

“Not what I expected”. Never before in my life have I used that phrase with such accuracy. Never before have I felt so deeply removed from the grid. Never before have I found bowhunting to be such an uphill battle. The big woods of Pennsylvania changed all that. Saturday, October 26. Excitement rushes over me… […]

The game changer for anyone that is interested in protecting your hard work such as food plots and tree plantings from being over browsed by deer and other wildlife is the Dual Perimeter Electric Fence. This is a relatively new way of protecting your investment in the hunting world. I would like to tell you […]

One of the most important features that I look at when determining areas to hunt are funnels and pinch points. Sometimes these terms are used interchangeably, but there are differences between the two. A funnel is a location where animals begin to congregate to move from point A to point B. A funnel can be […]

Congratulations! All your diligence, hard work, and persistence have finally paid off, and you’ve shot the animal you’ve been after. However, what happens next could determine whether your hunt ends in celebration or lamentation. It is vitally important to keep your wit about you amongst the torrent of emotions that ebb and flow in the […]

Whitetail bucks, especially big whitetail bucks, can be notoriously difficult to kill. They are smart, wary, and have particularly keen senses of smell, hearing, and eyesight. However, every autumn, like the leaves around them, much of their intelligence and perception tends to fall away. When this happens, the woods and fields start to look a […]

The sawdust sprayed as the Stihl cut through the rough terrain. I thought to myself how were the bugs still able to light me up with so much debris flying everywhere. Luckily though the Florida sun took it easy on us due to a few storms in the Gulf providing cloud cover. 90 degrees is […]
