Check for Landscape Changes Before Deer Hunting

I have an old friend who lives near this WMA, and he told me that some type of tree bug had killed quite a few trees on this WMA, and those trees had fallen down.

Harvesting does at the beginning of bow season also helps the archer get more comfortable with having deer in close and making accurate shots.

The Birthday Hog Hunt with Only a Knife

For my birthday present one year, I didn’t get the usual jewelry, perfume, romantic dinner or tickets to a play many women like.
