Beagles and Traditional Bows
As big game seasons wind down for another year, many bowhunters begin hanging up their equipment. For some, the cold winter months’ short days and snow covered earth dampen the archery enthusiasm that burned so brightly with the autumn colors. But for diehards, winter is the time to have fun, get some exercise, [...]
Donning Rain Pants
During hunting season in Indiana, the weather changes constantly. In order to be prepared for anything, I pack a light rain suit (Frogg Toggs) that takes up very little space and is easy to carry. However, when the rain starts to fall, pulling the rain pants over my boots can be a problem. [...]
Cold Weather Hunting Clothes

It is practically impossible to remake a two-sided broadhead into a satisfactory single bevel head. It is also more difficult to sharpen a single bevel broadhead that does not have a factory-machined edge. [...]
Lightning Strikes Twice – Two Moose Tags
When Kim Young found the envelopes from Colorado Parks and Wildlife in the mailbox, she casually took them inside to open them and endorse the $2,064 refund checks for unsuccessful nonresident moose applications. She and her husband Craig had both applied for the first time, holding virtually no hope of drawing one. But [...]
