We are but a couple days away from what we work towards all year.  Hours of time has slipped by while we carefully examined photos time and time again so we can have our hit-list clearly defined.  We have worked tirelessly through the scorching, humid, “dog days” of summer; hanging stands, clearing lanes, working the […]

Serenity of Filming a Hunt

Difficult, upsetting, frustrating, challenging, motivating, exciting and overall accomplishing are some adjectives that come to mind while filming a hunt.

Staying at the Top of Your Game

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 […]

More Than Just a Trophy

This is one trophy that no bow hunter will ever forget. The monumental first buck taken with the bow is a feat that is truly loved by all archers. The details will always remain vivid and the buck will always have a spot in the hunter’s heart. I don’t think the hunt of mine is […]
