    How to ruin the weekend

    I had a fun weekend outdoors then last night, right before bed… Free to a good home: Male German Wirehair that killed and retrieved a skunk, then dropped it at my feet when I opened the door to let him inside. My feet were inside the house, so yes, he dropped a dead skunk in the house. It...

    Did the rut start yet?

    What do you guys think? Will the cooler temps kick off the rut this week? Season’s technically not in but if it’s the rut I might need to be in the woods.

    Rare and refreshing

    Sunday was a good day. It’s rare that I have a free day to process deer. Usually there’s something on the calendar. A game, a practice, an obligation or something. But yesterday was wide open and I was able to just take time, hang out in the garage and cut up a deer. It’s part of the hunting...

    Today was a good day

    Too many outdoor hobbies and too many soccer games have limited the opportunities for serious deer hunting. It’s ok. I’ve adjusted my expectations the past few years and have come to terms with just hunting as much as possible and keeping it as fun as possible. This weekend was removed from the...

    Looking for a left handed bow

    A friend’s son has an interest in bowhunting and he’s looking for a left handed bow. Preferably one of the adjustable youth-model bows that he can adjust as his son’s draw length changes. Let me know if anybody out there has one they’re looking to part with. Thanks!!

    Youth Goose

    Got my nephew out this morning for youth season. We had a few woodducks that eluded us then we were able to call in a single. It read the script perfectly and Jack put the smack down on it.

    What is cost for new strings?

    My buddy went to a shop in central Ohio to get a new set of strings on his bow. He left the shop after they quoted him close to $200 for the strings and labor. Is that where things are at now or was the shop trying to take advantage of him? It just seemed high to me but the last time I got new...

    Youth Pheasant

    Blitz hunted with another dog for the first time and things went surprisingly well. They're both young dogs so I thought they'd just goof around and be idiots. Instead they both hunted independently with Blitz (GWP) ranging far and wide and River (Lab) quartering tight. Both were finding birds...

    One Last Hunt

    If the good Lord is willing, Timber will be 14 in January. He hasn't really hunted much in the last few years, although he still gets excited when I'm getting gear together, and he always comes outside to sniff the truck tailgate when I get home from a hunt. He's deaf. His eye sight isn't too...

    School night doe

    Thankful for the opportunity and for the meals this doe will provide. My arrow left the string at 7:02. I sent a pic of my arrow to my son and he met me at the field edge around 8:00. A headlamp and iPhone flashlight found her shortly thereafter, right where I thought she crashed. We field...

    Backpacking Fishing Adventure

    My son and I are thinking about doing something a little different this year and heading out for a backpacking fishing adventure. The general idea is to pick a spot that has the opportunity to hike in, fly fish, and camp within a 4 to 5 hour drive. Parts of the Monongahela National Forest are...

    Hello. My name is Curran

    Hi there fellas! I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Curran. I like to hunt, fish and just be outdoors as much as I can. The last few years I haven’t gotten to do that as much as I’d like, but family, kids sports and general hecticness has a way of doing that. I’ve heard this forum is a...

    Saturday 11.16.19

    I’d rather be lucky than good. This morning’s hunt almost didn’t happen. The alarm went off and I thought about sleeping in. The doubt about even seeing deer, let alone getting an arrow in one on public land was a good excuse. Every weekend warrior will be out there anyway... Then I told...

    10.25 Buck

    Sorry it's taken forever and a day to share some pictures. I couldn't get them to load from my phone and between work, family and kids' sports I've barely had a minute to upload the memory card to the computer. I'm almost finished with the story. Been working on that one paragraph at a time time...

    "Dear Hunter,"

    This is a video produced for, and written to the hunting community. Not the hunting industry, but the community. That's every one of us. The message is a good one.
