At about 9:30, with the rays of the morning  sun peeking through the tree limbs, I saw the tell tale flash of white out of the corner of my eye. About 75 yards away from me, on the edge of my woodlot and a corn field, I saw a tall racked 6 point buck cruising with a [...]

Montana Whitetail

19, Sep 2008

Another great whitetail hunt to tide us over until the season starts. Although I know in some states you have already started, it’s fair to say I’m pretty jealous. Good luck in the woods this weekend! Tweet This Post

The cool crisp air tonight has fully alerted my internal clock that bowhunting season isn’t far off! Here’s a good short clip of a hunter harvesting a nice Michigan whitetail, something I hope to be doing in less than a month! Notice how well he placed the shot in the lower vitals as the deer quartered away. [...]

CWD in Michigan

26, Aug 2008

I got some really bad news today when I found out that for the first time, a deer in Michigan has been diagnosed with Chronic Wasting Disease. So far the only case has been found in a three year old whitetail at a private facility in Kent County. The really bad news is that I [...]

I’m excited to report that I have been selected to be a member of the Deer & Deer Hunting Internet Pro Staff! I will be contributing content to the Deer & Deer Hunting internet forums and blog, as well as providing hunting gear reviews throughout the season. Check out the list of the new Deer [...]

Well I’m still on the fence about both the Whisker Biscuit style rests and drop aways. I’ve heard and read a lot about each,  but they both seem to offer unique pro’s and con’s. I ran across a great video today that breaks down the three major styles of arrow rests. It gives a great overview of [...]

I’m excited to report that next week I will be returning back to Michigan from my summer internship in New York City. To celebrate, I plan on making a few upgrades to my bow before the season. My first point of business is to invest in a new arrow rest and I am considering either a [...]

The Economic Hunter

11, Aug 2008

I just ran across an article in the Dallas Morning News discussing a number of ways hunters, fisherman and outdoors enthusiasts can save some money and gas this year while dealing with these tough economic times… “Fuel costs are a major issue, but so is the cost of everything else, partly due to increased shipping expenses. Ammunition has [...]

The recent comments from Bob Barker in relation to the supposed danger of hunting near residential areas really set me off the other day. But now a Virginia court has ruled in favor of hunter’s rights to be in these areas.  This ruling really sets an important precedent regarding the legitimacy and safety of allowing urban bow hunts. I’m particularly excited [...]

I just stumbled across this clip of a Illinois bowhunt from Realtree Outdoors with Michael Waddell. As I watched, I noticed Michael utilize a wide range of different tactics, while also demonstrating several very important but simple steps you must take to bag a whitetail with a bow. I was really amazed by how much they [...]
