Wendy Drake Bowhunts Montana Whitetails

The weather was terrible. We had about a foot of snow, and the snow was still coming down, while I was trying to catch up to this buck. When I saw the buck go down the hill, I went down the hill after him. There was a road just a little ways from the bottom of the hill. I thought the buck probably had crossed the road. But when I saw another buck, I wasn’t

Bowhunting Elk Dream Comes True

I started shooting the PSE X-Force before I ever started hunting. When PSE introduced the Stiletto, I liked it, because it was similar to the X-Force, but it was more of a lady’s bow and that bow just fit me! I shoot tournament archery as well as bowhunt, and I compete in the Women’s Open Class. I got into tournament archery after my husband, Eric, bought me a bow for my birthday, and he taught

Early archery season is a chance to hunt deer when they are probably as laid back as they are going to be all year.

Combat Hunting for Elk with Mossy Oak Pro Mike Lee

Combat hunting is my definition for hunting on high-pressure public lands where the chances of seeing other hunters is much greater than the opportunity to see an elk. To understand this kind of hunting, understanding what most elk hunters do is often more important than knowing where the elk should be. For instance, most elk hunters don’t like to leave camp until about an hour before daylight. But I leave camp about...

North Dakota’s Velvet Antlered Whitetail Bucks

One of the big advantages we have in North Dakota is: because our deer season opens the first day of Labor Day weekend, we have an opportunity to take velvet-antlered bucks. Once I had set-up three or four stand sites. On opening day, I went out to hunt my primary stand site, and the wind was wrong. So, I went to a tree stand I had set up where two sunflower fields and a corn
