By Tabitha Reigel (Roll Up Your Sleeve Kinda Momma) My mommy works long hours to provide for my brother, my two sisters and me. She tries to be everything to us even when tired, sad, mad, and happy. She makes me feel better when I am sad or mad. She helps me understand things that […]
By James Hudson There’s a sense in the air no matter what style of hunting you do when the season starts coming around. Maybe it’s the dew on the grass before a spring gobbler opening morning. Maybe it’s the thrill of climbing into the tree stand, waiting for your target buck to cross your path. […]
Swhacker has been in the broadhead game a long time with quality heads and distinct design. When the Levi Morgan 261 came out it had some new features and I thought let’s give it a try. I’ve shot a number of deer with them with great results. At a first glance it may not seem […]

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 […]
Hunting and being outdoors with brothers, friends, children showing them the joy and satisfaction can can only be given by the good lord himself. The hard work put into something is what makes it a sacrifice to want it and working for what you want to achieve, to achieve the meaning of life. Working for […]
the story As soon as the bolt left my crossbow I had a pit in my stomach, the wind had started to shift and it was now or never; I had just decided now. It was only one season earlier when I had wounded an eight point buck with a compound bow, never recovering the […]
I was born in a coastal town on the central Oregon coast called Florence. Florence is an old logging town that turned into a retirement and tourist town. I was raised on a cattle ranch bucking hay and feeding cows. I learned at a young age how to work hard all day and how to […]
GUILTY Most of us are guilty of it. Knowing the buck you’re after is consistently coming to one spot like clockwork, but not having a lot of time to get after him. When you finally get time, the wind is not in your favor…figures. I, myself, am 100% guilty of this. Having the itch so […]
