I found this tucked away today in a discussion of head shots pro and con from the 24HourCampfire.com . To be exact: #205865 – 11/10/03 10:03 AM I had an opportunity this weekend to seriously consider the issue of head shots: bagged two deer in two days. Both presented broadside … Continue reading →
From KentuckyHunting.Net Swift Arrow New here Hey all! I just thought I would introduce myself. I am from Michigan and I am going on my second year bow hunting this year. Anyway, I took a drive down I-75 this weekend and noticed a lot of forest area along the way, … Continue reading →
I used to be a nosebleed cowboy. It just wasn’t hunting unless I was 25 feet in the air. There were a few occasions where I hunted lower. In one case, my feet were barely 8 feet off the ground, and I managed to bag back-to-back bucks out of that … Continue reading →
Fitness is important, but so is acc. . . . accclim. . . being acclimatized– maybe just as much. Pushing a pencil in an office and working out in a gym does not prepare your body for hunting conditions. If you haven’t been outside in a while or you are … Continue reading →

The best time to be laying out salt and minerals and such is back around when you’re scouting turkey in March. I usually dump a load in way back at the end of deer season, so that they have it the next year. My licks in KY start getting hit … Continue reading →
I’m currently agonizing over when to start pulling my bow this year. Last year, I started pulling it in July– about normal for me. After a few arrows, I noticed a twinge in my shoulder and put the bow down. I was just shy of 49, and I’m entering that … Continue reading →
From the Deer and Deer Hunter Forum: The thing you have to remember is this: just because a deer makes that vocalization, it may not be the best call to make. The buck growl is just a very aggressive grunt. Somebody popularized the term “growl” a few years ago, but … Continue reading →
I hunt in my own backyard. Granted, it’s 200 acres, but it still is a lot different from the days of traveling 3 hours to get there and another hour to walk in the way I used to. The contents of my pack have changed over the years, but not … Continue reading →
