Even if you miss you'll land amongst the stars" has some real merit when it comes to bowhunting and understanding your equipment. Achieving optimal arrow flight from a compound bow is a pursuit that demands attention to detail and a commitment. It's not an easy feat and quite frankly, at times can be pretty frustrating. However, you owe it to yourself and you damn sure owe it to the game you pursue. In this blog, we'll explore five tips to ..read more

Anyone that knows me quickly learns that I am an absolute fanatic for hunting mature, big woods whitetails. However, in the past few years, as my guiding business has grown, my time is lessening when it comes to pursuing my passion on a personal level.
This past deer season was the first time in over a decade I went into the Pennsylvania gun season with my PA buck tag still in my pocket. At the most, I likely had had five full days of hunting for myself, starting Tuesday of the opening week of rifle. I had a client booked for the first three days of the season which would keep me tied up until ..read more

The holiday season hits around the same time many a sportsman starts thinking about drilling holes in the ice for giant pike and walleyes. This is also the time of a year that a few deer hunters have probably vowed to sell all their gear due to the frustration of a busted bow season. Don't deny it; we know you've thought it. Of course, when the frustration dies down, there will be plenty of good arguments for keeping that equipment.
I'm not here to tell you that late season hunting is easy. But if you've had a rough deer season, maybe you're even eating tag soup; late season deer hunti ..read more

Magical mornings. It's what any hunter would expect. Most media and tall tales describe deer losing their mind and running back and forth all day. Is the description true? You know it can be if you've hunted enough to have one of those magical rut mornings. I often wonder if our mind tricks us into thinking that one amazing day was more like five or six.
The truth about the rut is for as many highs you'll experience, you could have twice as many dull moments. It doesn't matter if you're a public or private land hunter. More often than not, rut hunting isn't all it's cracked up to ..read more

The "what ifs" make us stay in the deer stand longer. What happens when the "what if" leaves us empty handed? It can be easy to talk yourself out of a tree to get down for lunch or warm up. The excitement for the season's opener kept you in the saddle, and now that we are halfway through, it almost feels like torture to remain on stand beyond 10 AM or get in the stand before 3 PM.
Here's the truth: what ifs are very real in the whitetail woods, but they don't happen often. I only know a handful of people that can sit dark to dark. Even though those hunters make it appear seamless, they ..read more

It's getting close to the time of the season that's near and dear to most of us. There is a reason this upcoming part of the season has been labeled "rutcation." But you're probably still hunting evening acorn patterns, so when does that off-switch happen?
About this time of the bow season, you'll probably run into the mid-season hunter who wishes it was November. It will be the early 20-year-old diehard with their giant set of rattling antlers and grunt tube hanging from their pack. They will tell you about the spike chasing a doe across the street from their town-home last evening, th ..read more

Are you trolling the internet looking for the secret to put that buck in your freezer this year? You may be looking in the wrong place because you should be in the woods. But this is your week if you want a secret strategy in plain sight!
There's a certain way the wind blows, and the angle of light changes as fall approaches. It almost makes you want to drop all your plans to get into a tree. It's called euphoric recall. Guess what? Bucks experience it too. As the fall moves toward the rut, even big bucks can't help but sample the change. It's like an eight-year-old kid whose parents p ..read more

I was about to tear down for the morning when I saw his rack shining in the late morning sun. I couldn't believe it! I had snort wheezed only a few minutes before that perfect 8-point buck was heading in my direction. He was closing in fast, and as I drew my bow, he stopped behind some small trees, looked up at me, and was out of my life forever.
This wasn't the only time a blind wheeze worked out in my favor. But why? Learning to call whitetails boils down to experimenting with a few sounds and determining when and where those things will work. So, how will you find that thrill this season ..read more

Want to have more proficient hunts and feel dialed every time you get into a tree? The most bulletproof way to find a big buck in your trap is to master wind and thermals. Even basic knowledge can take your success a long way.
