Skip to contentThe room was getting warmer, the air palpable, and the bidding hitting levels higher than I hoped for. I had no idea who was bidding against me in the crowded banquet room Saturday night in St. Augustine, Florida, at the Professional Bowhunters Society (PBS) Biennial Gathering, but I knew my limit was soon [...]
Nervously I switched the safety on top of the double barrel 12-gauge on and off, following a footstep behind Rosey. We had closed a quarter-mile distance on an unsuspecting coastal brown bear, from where we anchored our aluminum skiff and canoed to shore. We trotted when the bear looked down and imitated washed [...]
This is a method of shooting that I developed about 10 years ago. It is a simple way to learn how to shoot a recurve or longbow. The best part is that you don't worry about yardages. No more guessing: just look, pick a spot and release. It will work at longer yardages, [...]
I pulled my truck into the opening next to the farm’s outbuildings and gathered my gear. It was a quick 250-yard walk down the gravel service road to where my pop-up blind sat ready for the morning turkey hunt. I could hear gobbles from the roost in all directions around me, as at [...]

I could barely walk. How was I going to scout, bow hunt and possibly recover a deer? What about the fact that there happened to be bear on the property? I managed to hunt hard one to two days a week for nearly three painful months and finally bagged a small buck at [...]
After a short four hours of sleep, I walked in under the grey light of a Friday morning. Halfway around the hill I froze, as I could hear antlers clicking together as a couple of young bucks sized each other up. I wanted to see them, so I slowly continued around the waist [...]
Many years ago legendary bowyer and hunter Dick Robertson wrote an article focused on defining what constitutes traditional bow hunting. No doubt the article ruffled some feathers in the traditional bow hunting community.
