THE OTHER FOOD PLOT / 7/6/2010
When bowhunters think about food plots, most instantly think about fields full of green clover or a field full of corn or sugar beets. There is another kind of food plot that doesn’t get discussed often that is as just as effective at drawing deer in from miles around as a clover plot. The plot I am thinking about doesn’t require seed, fertilizer or money to build. I am talking about w...

TURKEY TIME / 4/27/2010
The Spring season is one of our favorite times of the year (after Fall of course). Planting the gardens, working on food plots and of course chasing turkeys. To be honest, we are not world champion turkey hunters, but we love to hear the gobblers and see them strut into our decoys.
(Story Continues Below)
We had even more reason to hit the blind (not that w...

STICK AND STRING GOBBLERS - BY: TRACY BREEN / 3/25/2010
Turkey hunting can be a low percentage game. Even with the large numbers of turkeys we have in Michigan, many hunters go home empty-handed without a wild butterball. If you turkey hunt with a bow, the chances of success are even lower ... a lot lower.
Over the years, I have tagged a couple birds with a bow but I have also gone home empty-handed several times. If the challenge o...

CAMERA TRICKS / 11/30/2009
There are very few deer hunters who scout without using some type of
trail camera. For many years, the only
way hunters knew if big bucks were in the area was by seeing them or seeing
evidence they left behind like large rubs or scrapes. With the invention of the modern day scouting
camera, everything has changed. Most
hunters have scouting cameras in the woods almost year roun...

DOUBLE DOWN! / 11/19/2009
11-17-2009. Scott Bakken and Dan Berkholder were hunting together near Eau Claire WI when around 4:00 pm Dan texted Scott and said he just shot a big buck. Scott got down and went over to Dan's spot and saw the massive 12 point Dan had shot. (Story Continues Below) (Dan Berkholder with huge WI 12 Pointer) Dan took Scott over to his stand to show him where the buck was w...

KRISTIN'S FIRST BOW BUCK! / 11/9/2009
Kristin Broberg has been hunting since she was 12 and has quite a few deer under her belt with a gun. Since she stepped up to bowhunting, she has found success as well. This week Kristin put a perfect shot on this nice IL buck. The buck was tailing a doe when he followed her under Kristin's stand early on Sunday morning. Unsure if she was going to shoot, Kristin hesitated u...

CAMPBELL OUTDOOR CHALLENGE UPDATES / 10/12/2009
The Campbell Outdoor Challenge is a great hunter/cameraman challenge that tests the skills and teamwork of a hunter and cameraman during a fairchase hunt. Each team gets scored on the size of their deer harvested and a menu of criteria on the attributes of the camera work. Therefore, a big deer with bad film will not score as well as a smaller deer with quality footage. This trul...

FINE TUNE YOUR BOW SET UP / 9/28/2009
Bowhunting is a low percentage game. Most hunters who regularly bowhunt know how rare shot opportunities can be. When we get a shot of a lifetime at the animal we are chasing, our gear must be tuned properly and our minds must go on auto-pilot so when our nerves begin to rattle and our breathing gets heavy, our mind and body know what to do. We can then make the perfect shot without ev...

SPIN TO WIN BY JIM BROBERG / 9/1/2009
It's getting to be that time of year again. It is time to
take the field points off and put the broadheads on. Over the years I have
heard one particular story over and over; "I shot all summer long and I had perfect, tight groups. I
put my broadheads on and some of my arrows are cork screwing through the air. I
shoot carbon arrows and I thought they are perfectly straight." My rep...
