Fun Facts About Fawns

13, May 2010

Any day now I’m expecting to see a little spindly legged, polka dotted fawn staggering around one of my fields, followed closely by its ever watchful mother. Tiny tail twitching and knees shaking, that little fawn will be taking it’s first steps into a big new world. Much to my delight, it’s that time of [...]

TwistedX from the Deer & Deer Hunting forums shared this great story of his cousins harvesting of a monster Ohio buck. Here’s a story we all wish we could have been a part of. On Oct. 1st 2009 My cousin Nick got home from a stressful day at work and decided he wanted to go [...]

“Shooting a RAGE is like throwing an axe at an animal”- Chuck Adams, World-Class Hunter So whats with all the hype?

Why Do I Hunt?

26, Feb 2009

I get asked very frequently why it is that I like to hunt. In the past I’ve had a very long winded answer which covered everything from my love for the outdoors, to the sound of a deer’s steps on frost covered leaves to the taste of freshly cooked venison. But recently I’ve found a [...]

Yesterday was a nice treat as I got to visit the annual Deer & Turkey Spectacular in Lansing, Michigan. Just as I begin to wonder if the snow will ever melt, I check this out and can’t wait to get out in the cold again and chase some swamp bucks! The “Spectacular” had much of [...]
