As the population and range of wild (feral) hogs increases across the country, bowhunters are given new opportunities to chase these animals with very liberal hunting regulations. Hogs present excellent opportunities for spot and stalk hunts as well as hunting them from stands at a food source. It has been my experience that hogs can […]
Bow season is my most awaited time of each year; the winter, spring, and summer months are “passed” by predator calling, waterfowl hunting, 3D archery, fishing and turkey season. My bow season began in early September and encompassed four states in pursuit of both whitetail and mule deer. After countless hours on stand and thousands […]
The deer you’ve been waiting for all season steps out of the thicket at a mere twenty yards. As if he was reading from a script he enters your lane and turns broadside looking the other direction… you settle your pin behind the shoulder and watch your arrow disappear over a foot farther back than […]

A few weeks ago at a local archery 3D shoot, I won a Nikon Archer's Choice rangefinder in the Iron Buck Challenge. The Archer's Choice only ranges to 100 yards, which, I guess if I used it strictly for archery it would be okay. Unfortunately, I use it for calling predators and a multitude of […]
The summer of 2008 was extremely dry and a camera at the local watering hole provided hundreds of trail cam photos on my Moultrie D40. One particular buck that spent a lot of time at the pond was an older deer that sported a wide, short tined rack with some unique points. The buck was […]
Quite possibly the most frequently debated topic in bowhunting is which broadhead is, “the best.” While “the best” is strictly a matter of opinion, I’ll try to clarify the Pro’s and Con’s of each, Fixed Blade and Mechancial broadheads. Keep in mind that any broadhead will do what it’s intended if it is placed in […]
