Here in Missouri our bow season opens on September 15th and runs until January 15th. This gives us four months of bow hunting for white-tail, save for the ten days of rifle season in which case you must use a rifle tag if you wish to chase deer with your bow. I was in London, […]

It never fails that as the hunting season draws closer more people start dusting off their bows and guns. They may practice one or two weeks before season starts, hit the target and call it good. But it is like my mother used to always tell me “Practice Makes Perfect” and in the case of […]

I will admit to you right now, I have never taken a buck with my bow. It is not for a lack of opportunities, I have had many. But it seems that I can never seal the deal. Buck fever truly gets the best of me and I never can seem to harvest that first […]

The wait can sometimes be as stressful as the hunt itself. The not knowing if you were drawn, attempting to make plans that may or may not come into play.
