Persistence

2, May 2010

It’s 9:30 am on the 2nd of May and I am tired, sore and soaking wet. It’s the second weekend of my turkey hunting season and it’s the second weekend in a row that it’s poured rain almost non-stop. Yesterday the land owner thought I was crazy for heading out at 5:30 in the morning [...]

19, Apr 2010

Ask any bowhunter to list the three things that he likes most about bowhunting and I would bet that one of the three would be sharing the experience with friends.  The problem with bowhunting is that staying invisible to the game’s eyes and ears is paramount to success and it’s just not that easy to [...]

14, Apr 2010

Fine art had Michelangelo, basketball had Michael Jordan, southern cooking had Paula Dean and hunting television has Heartland Bowhunter Season 2. This season of HB is that good. I’m not talking the kind of good where you have a bite of pie and say, “Mmm, thats tasty.” I’m talking the kind of good where you [...]

Good Morning Gobblers!

Turkey season is staring me right in the eye and I can’t ignore it any longer. I woke up this morning to clear blue skies and a crisp bite in the air. I had a few extra minutes before I had to head to work, so like I’ve done the last week or so, I [...]

Capturing Emotions: The Power of Harvest Photos – Matt White

21, Mar 2010

We see them everywhere we go.  On a peg board at the gas station or a friend’s refrigerator.  We see them stuck in truck visors and across facebook avatars.  We see these pictures everywhere because in some special way we can be reminded of the adventure that goes with the picture.  We feel strong emotions [...]

This time of year many sportsmen are gearing up for turkey hunting or are cleaning out the bass boat, but there a select few of us who are already preparing for our pursuit of whitetails in the fall. For those of us that dream of droptines and doe’s in estrus, there is no down time. [...]

Out In The Open – Matt White

12, Mar 2010

Nine years ago I set foot into my first pasture with aspirations of finding a treasure.  The treasure was a shed antler.  That amazing thing that came into existence 8 months prior would hold my attention like a diamond would to a woman and still does to this day.  Shed antlers are the journals of whitetail deer.  They show the [...]
