My son Carson took three animals this year, and Nicole reminded me of how much fun we had on those hunts. We really enjoy hunting with our children, and those are probably the most-memorable hunts all year, every year.

Understanding Food Plot Fertilizers

A food plot farmer needs to understand that a fertilizer recommendation is just a suggestion for the amount of (N) nitrogen, (P) phosphorus and (K) potassium that particular crop uses during a typical growing season under average conditions and a neutral pH. It is NOT necessarily the fertilizer you should be using! A soil test should be done to determine “your soil’s” pH and current nutrient load. These figures are used in union with what

Reeve and His Hunt for the Shiras Moose

Nicole and I had a lot of great hunting opportunities in 2014, and several hunts really stood out in my mind. One of our most-memorable hunts was in Alberta, Canada, with Glenn Brown and Blue Bronna Outfitters. We were hunting in the mountains - basically the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The terrain was really steep like that you’d find when you were hunting sheep.But on this hunt, we were hoping to take Shiras moose from this

Pass It On: It All Comes Together

As I’ve mentioned in my other “Pass It On” articles, sharing time in the field with new hunters is a very rewarding experience. It’s a time to share your love and knowledge of the outdoors with them and make some wonderful memories in the process. However, there will come a time when you have to let them step out on their own. I think this is best done in controlled circumstances that give them some

Eva Shockey Tells What’s Next in Her Life

I have a countdown on my phone until my wedding day at my parents’ home on June 20, 2015, to my fiancé Tim Brent. One reason I was excited about coming to the Guntersville bowfishing tournament was because Tim could come with me and went bowfishing with us. He told me not to tell, but I'm going to tell anyway. I beat him taking four fish to his zero fish. Tim loves to fish, and

You Don’t Bowhunt at Night But Do Bowfish at Night

As a hunter, taking an animal after dark using lights always has been off the table for me. In most of the world, bowhunting using a light to take game animals is illegal. As a hunter, the idea of hunting fish at night with lights would take me into an environment I never had entered before. I wasn’t sure how easy taking shots from a boat that was moving at a fish that was moving

Eva Shockey Learns to Bowfish and What Happens to the Harvested Fish

Here’s one of the things that really surprised me. When I was learning how to bowfish, I quickly realized that I had to forget everything I knew about target archery and bowhunting and reprogram my brain. When you're bowfishing, you don’t have an anchor point to anchor your shot, and you don’t always pull your bow all the way to the back wall before you shoot. Also, I’ve learned that I can shoot faster and

Eva Shockey’s First Bowfishing Shot Took Her First Fish

I've shot a compound bow most of my life, and I’ve learned I still can shoot my compound bow and/or recurve bow to take fish. One of the aspects of bowfishing that’s really different is that you have to snap shoot and shoot instinctively. As soon as you see the fish underwater, you have to draw and shoot. So, I had to learn to shoot instinctively.
