Hunting

Hunting with a bow and arrow is amazing; nothing beats getting in touch with your primal roots.

Autumn is here, and with it come many changes. Trees are turning brown, leaves are falling off, and hunters everywhere are setting out to hunt their favorite prey, turkeys!

One question we hear often is, at what time should I hunt turkeys? Is it the morning, perhaps the afternoon, or maybe at night when they roost?

Forget rabbit or duck season; we’re talking about turkey season. These paranoid little (or big) critters are some of the most exciting prey a hunter can pursue.

Field dressing a deer (gutting) is an extremely important step in the recovery of your deer and preparing it for the table.

Telling the age of a whitetail deer is a very important skill, for all of those obsessed with whitetails, to have in their arsenal if they are interested in allowing a buck to reach his full genetic potential, in other words, get older and with a bigger rack.

Turkeys are formidable adversaries but the equipment needed to hunt them does not have to be anything extravagant.

Whether it’s your first buck, best buck, small spike, or giant 10 point, preserving the memory of the hunt with a beautiful mount will spark flashbacks of the shot, the crisp morning air, images of your deer chasing a doe, and all the other events that led up to you being successful.

Deer are attracted to food plots like moths to a flame. If you build it, they will come.

The keys to understanding shot placement on a white-tailed deer are rooted in a basic understanding of the deer’s anatomy and the performance limitations of your weapon and yourself.
