Just had a (digital) flick through the AS14. As always it’s chocka block full of great stuff, but the stand out for me was Preston Taylor’s article on off season tracking. Well done mate!
Jay Campbell also had a good piece full of advice and experience from hunting in hot weather. Some good advice in there. I’ve been brought down by pretty serious heat injury in training (luckily a doc and ambulance were on hand) so I take it seriously. You may hear about all the dangerous snakes in Australia but I can tell you a lot more people die from heat stroke than they do from snakebites. Plus you look like a right twit when you’re going down, often dribbling thick white saliva and talking gibberish before falling flat on your face.. Best avoided 😉
Anyway, as always, TBM is the best in the business.

Great, great issue. Really enjoyed the canoe article, among others. And I too enjoyed Ptaylor’s article on tracking. Nice job all!

As usual, TBM is the best hunting publication on the market. I must say Krista’s Campfire Philosopher article is the best I’ve read since the two Dave’s stopped writing the column. Like she said and I quote ” Life is so short. Go hunt”. I also enjoyed Doug Borland’s article. He’s been on adventures that most of us only dream of doing.

Another high quality issue for sure, but I’ve come to expect nothing less! 😆
Preston – your article on tracking was fantastic. And what a great reminder that the ‘thrill of the hunt’ and the skills we need to continually hone aren’t limited to being exercised during hunting season.
And I have to say, Doug Borland exemplifies the idea of a hardcore backcountry hunter, yet he does it without any of the ego or fanfare, and thankfully, without ever using words like “extreme” or even “hardcore,” for that matter. He writes about his exploits as simply and matter of factly as if a 3-week backcountry hunting trip in remote Alaska was a perfectly common thing to do – using the opportunity to share all he has learned honestly, rather than to strut his accomplishments. It’s this kind of humility that I find particularly admirable in my hunting “heroes.”
Thanks again, to all who contribute to such a worthy endeavor as TBM.

Fellas, I just read part 2 of Borland’s backpacking story and have to agree, one of the best bowhunting articles I’ve read.
Bruce, I did read one “extreme”, but he wasn’t talking about himself, he was talking about a jetboil 😉

Magnificent Reading Material!
From Don Thomas’s editorial to Krista Holbrook’s “Campfire Philosopher” and EVERYTHING between.
Bravo TBM. Keep it coming!

Thanks for all the kind words. I will pass them along to the rest of the crew. We are pretty lucky that we get to do this for a living! 😉
I liked the interview with Tracey Balowski of St. Joe River Bows, and I thought Preston’s article was very good!
