    Wolves really do scare them off. How bout that?

    I’ve seen plenty of wolf sign before and heard the stories, but I’ve never encountered one or been able to directly blame one for my lack of success, until now. I had some promising leads on elk yesterday with some great sign and sightings and plans of attack for this morning. That changed...

    Walk or Sit?

    Ok folks: what would you do? Here’s the back story: It’s late archery for bulls. On Friday it snowed a fair amount here, and I came across what looked like a bulldozer went through the woods. Long story short, I followed it to a herd of 40 or so elk. Sadly, the snow was too noisy for me to get...

    Lost an Animal!

    I was putting out some bear bait on Sunday and happened to run into a flock of about 40 turkeys on the way out. There was a giant Tom in the bunch and I have a turkey tag burning a hole in my pocket, so I figured why not? I took a shot at him about 20 to 25 yards and center punched him right...

    A Big Thanks to Rod Jenkins

    I just had the privilege to attend a 2 day clinic from the great Rod Jenkins, and have to say that anyone who has this opportunity near them should take it! I learned a grip of new things and am currently revamping everything I know, and it’s already for the better after only several days...

    Light Weight Arrows?

    I bought some 500 spine arrows the other day, since it was a steal for the dozen, and decided to fletch them up, and install the inserts and points. The catch is: they’re a weaker spine, therefore I have a lighter weight insert/point. They’re around 410 grains total for the 48ish pounds I’m...

    Switched to Split Finger

    The other day I picked up a split finger tab and decided to give it a try just for the heck of it. I’m sure glad I did, because for whatever reason, I suddenly became way more accurate, especially windage. Maybe it’s the way my bow is tillered, maybe it changed my anchor and aim, but I’m sold...

    I Want a Hill-Style Bow. Am I Crazy?

    Lately I’ve been really jonesing for a straight stick longbow. I started on one that was essentially a selfbow, and kinda miss it sometimes (although when I go back and shoot the selfbow now, it’s a mess). I’d like to get a more “modern” fiberglass laminated bow. Particularly a Northern Mist...

    Instinctive Shooting?

    Just curious to see if anyone still shoots instinctive besides myself. I feel like it’s a dying way to do things in the trad world. I’m a bit of a disciple of the Fred Asbell way to do things, especially since I like to shotgun the same way. How do ya’ll out there aim with your tradbow?

    Let Me Run a Hot Tent Idea Past You Guys...

    So I have an opportunity to buy a new Big Agnes Mint Saloon tent (including footprint and mesh door) for really cheap: https://www.bigagnes.com/MInt-Saloon I'm considering getting it and and cutting a stove jack and using it for family camping/base camping for hunt trips. I wouldn't do any...
