Paying Respect

As hunters we all know the constant struggle of finding and keeping hunting land available. With the constant selling and leasing land it seems that we are loosing more and more of our favorite whitetail sanctuaries. One way to help keep the properties available for us to enjoy is to show your respect and appreciation […]

It’s Time: thoughts and reflection

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. That is what makes hunting so addicting though, is it not? Hunting itself is one of the most beautiful things to me. Then you add additional aspects to it and it becomes more than it […]

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 […]

Archery First

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 […]

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 […]

Trail Cams: Better Late than Never

After last year’s events from hunting season I have been waiting to get my trail cams out. Seeing all the up and coming deer, watching them grow, and hoping the big ones make it through the winter has me biting my nails every time you look at the pictures. When the antlers drop and shed hunting begins, […]
