So, you got that new pair of boots and they seem great, but then what? This question may seem arbitrary, or even asinine, but it definitely holds merit. There are a couple of details when it comes to the realm of boots, that I feel might be overlooked, or just isn’t a hot [...]
"Why do we keep driving to the top of the mountain?” my husband and hunting buddy Bob asked. “I don’t know,” I answered. “Look at all these muddy deer trails coming off the bank right along the hard road.” Our drives every day from our campground in north-central Pennsylvania’s Little Pine Creek valley, [...]

A great man and traditional bowhunting legend passed away on Sunday morning surrounded by his family. His tireless, continuing efforts brought bowhunting out of the back woods and into the main offices of fish and game departments all across the United States.

“I can’t see it!” That was the normal cry heard from a few of us boys who, shielding our eyes against the sun, were looking straight up trying to see a twenty-two-cent arrow just shot from one of their little fiberglass bows. It was a test of how powerful our bows were. If [...]
