Wild Cuisine: Black Bear Shoulder Barbacoa

Black bear is, in my mind, the most underrated wild game that walks the North American continent. Their mild, tender flesh, when prepared properly, could easily pass for a fine cut of beef to even the most discerning diner. In fact, bear dishes that I’ve made for neighborhood parties typically disappear long before [...]

Keep Tabs on Your Tab

Are you are tired of trying to keep track of your shooting tab? Here is a little trick that I use. Sew a thin, 6-inch piece of Velcro to the top portion of the finger hole on the tab. When you are finished shooting, fasten the Velcro around an arrow in your bow [...]

Make an Improved Sanding Block

For those of you who make bows, arrows, or any other thing of wood, you probably do a lot of sanding. I’ve had a few sanding blocks in my time, purchased from lumber stores with great enthusiasm. The enthusiasm generally wanes when I find I have to cut the sand paper to fit [...]

H&S Knives Nomad

I’ve always had an appreciation for edged tools, especially the ones made one at a time, by hand. Commonly referred to as “artisans”, in some cases the title of “artist” might be more fitting for these makers of bespoke goods. Regardless of what you want to call the craftsman behind the scenes, they [...]

Best Dressed Deer

There are a lot of deer processors who examine deer that come into their shops BEFORE agreeing to process them for “unlucky” hunters. I say unlucky because most hunters kill deer two or three times: once in the field, second when they field dress it, and third by overcooking in the kitchen. The [...]

Traditional Shooting in the Concrete Jungle

It is "that" time of the day, when the shadows lengthen and the wind calms, when I envision the movement of an elk as it manifests itself from the intense desire that has always been within me. I watch, and gauge its movement, anticipating its path, and decide when the opportunity to shoot will come to me

Moose Bone Bird Feeder

My friend loves to watch birds, and frequently buys and hauls seed or suet to her feeder. I also love to watch birds, but usually do so in their natural environment rather than working to maintain a feeder. Recently, I came upon a great alternative to hauling seed and suet to attract birds to [...]

Shooting High

Since it's whitetail season and a lot of us are hunting from trees, do you ever wonder why it's so easy to shoot too high from a treestand? Sure, bucks do jump the string sometimes, and their first movement is downward, but 3-D targets don't move and most of us tend to shoot [...]
