As traditional bowhunters, most of us like to have a blunt- or Judo-tipped arrow with us when we go afield. Piggy Backers have a clip on both sides, so two of them can be used to attach an extra arrow to one of the arrows in the quiver. However, I have never liked [...]

I have found an easy and economical way to cut carbon arrow shafts using a hacksaw blade. To get the perfect cut, drag the blade backwards, but don't move it forward. That will give you a clean cut without destroying the arrow. I cut all my arrows that way and get a perfectly [...]
Late winter is a time when there isn't much going on if you're a hunter. The weather is breaking, and the toms are in pre-strut. It's time to get outside and do a little practice for the upcoming turkey season. Maybe it is time to rally the hunting clan together to discuss turkey [...]
Between November whitetails and late season mallards along Montana spring creeks, I spend a lot of time giving cold weather clothing its sternest test: holding still in sub-zero temperatures. Here are some points my experience has taught me. A friend recently returned early to our kitchen after "freezing out" in a stand near [...]

It is also more difficult to sharpen a single bevel broadhead that does not have a factory-machined edge. [...]
It's that time of year to move or hang treestands in our prime locations. Things might have changed since last year and that stand location isn't as promising as it was last season. For properties and locations that allow screw-in treesteps, I've come up with a wrench that is not only handy for [...]
While trying to get just a little closer to the prey, many hunters take off their boots and continue in stocking feet. This does two things: it cuts down on the noise, and it makes you walk very slowly. However, when you are finished stalking you have to get back to your boots, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
