Armed with the information gathered by your cameras, it is time to prepare for opening day. Your first...

An Introduction to the Archery Compound Bow
Prior to the 1950s, those who were interested in the sport of archery were limited to the choices of longbow and recurve bow. Typically which a person chose depended on what use he/she was going to put the bow to, target practice or hunting. Most hunters used recurve bows because they had more power than longbows for killing big game like deer and elk. When the archery compound bow was invented, that all changed. The compound bow is very different from previous bows because it is strung in a continuous loop that uses a pair of pulleys to multiply the force applied to the arrow. In addition, at least on of these pulleys, usually both, is a cam that allows for a release of tension on the arms of the...
Scent Control - It's All About the Details
As a human it's hard to fully understand how a whitetail deer could live by it's nose. Humans do not function this way, and if we had to survive simply through the use of our noses, we probably wouldn't make it very long. On the other hand, whitetail deer live by their noses, and mature whitetails learn to rely on their noses more than any other sense. A whitetail deer's nose is to him what eyes are to humans; he trusts what he smells more than any of his other senses. The cliche, "I have to see it to believe it," represents humans' heavily reliance on eyesight. With this in mind, let's talk about the importance of scent control. I firmly believe that it is impossible to go totally undetected by a...

I had never hunted squirrels by walking a river, or creek, but one year, that's just what I did. I worked part time in a service station in a small town in North Eastern Indiana, and one of our regulars was a pro basketball player, that played for Italy. His name was Bob Purkhiser. He came in to the service station one day, and asked if I would like to go Squirrel hunting with him on Saturday morning. Sure I said, always ready to go hunting. We met Saturday morning a half hour before sunrise, and drove out of town about 7 miles to a dirt road along the Wabash river. We drove until the road bent away from the river, and went about 2 miles before another road crossed the river. We started slowly...
iv id="body"> The word 'ghillie' is an old Scottish term for a special kind of game warden. Back in the day, Ghillies were made to protect the Lords land from poachers, and adopted the use of camouflage suits to help with this. They would also hide in the long grass and wait for unsuspecting game to wander by, then jump out and grab them with bare hands. They would then take their catches back to the castle so the Lord could shoot it in the castle courtyard in a "mock hunt." These olden day Ghillies, using their keen tracking and stalking skills combined with their incredible camouflage paved the way to the evolution of Ghille Suits. These suits completely change the odds out in the forest and make...

You've been collecting images from your scouting camera throughout the spring and summer months and now that bow season is only a matter of weeks away, it is time to decide which tactics you will use during the season. Obviously, different methods are more effective at different times of the season, so it is not a matter of picking one and sticking with it simply for the sake of consistency. Rather, use what works for the time of season, weather conditions, etc. Still hunting, antler rattling, hunting from your stand, grunting and driving are all methods that have proven successful, and while you may favor one over all the others, each has its place in your hunting repertoire. Your task is deciding...
The best hunting spotting scopes are those which have the zoom eyepieces and are very easy to carry. These two features can easily make sure that you have the best experience with the scopes. Spotting scopes are nothing but modified telescopes which have smaller magnification range than the telescopes but more than the binoculars. The binoculars that as a hunter you use have a very limited magnification and the spotting scopes can help ease this restriction and they have magnification in the range of about 15-45 or 20-60. The scopes have an image which is upright whereas in the astronomy telescopes the image is reversed. The spotting scopes are best used in conjunction with the normal binoculars and...
So you go out and buy a $1000 rifle, new case, extra clip, and a good rifle sling. Now you have to put on a scope to totally outfit the new gun. The question you ask yourself is....what type of scope do I need and how much do I spend? Well from what I have seen and done before is you don't have to go and buy a $1000 scope if you can't afford it. I bought a new rifle and put a $150 Bushnell Buckhorn scope on it and I still use it. It's a 3X9-40mm and it's a great scope. I have no regrets about not spending awhole lot more on a scope, but you get what you pay for though. I've seen guys buy a real cheap scope and mount it on a "big" rifle (example...7mm) and first shot they took the crosshairs fell out...
