Cuz's Grandson Matt Takes His First Deer

He could look at the deer and then the drawing with the X drawn right behind the shoulder. He did that a couple of times and whispered, “Pop, I can shoot him right there.” I leaned over, so I could see he was indeed on the doe and told him, “Whenever you’re ready, squeeze the trigger on the crossbow.” I pushed the safety off the crossbow and watched almost in disbelief as the arrow disappeared

Tales from the Field

My deer hunting trip with my grandson Matt Ellis was supposed to be just a dry run. I’d been introducing myself to the ins and outs of a crossbow with the hopes of getting some family members to go bowhunting. I never even had held a crossbow or shot one. But I quickly learned I may have been missing something. In the process of getting myself and other family members familiar with the horizontal archery

Beverly Sisk on Babes Bullets and Broadheads and Why This Organization Is So Important to the Hunting Community

I live in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. I was the older of two girls and was the tomboy. I went with my daddy hunting white-tailed deer, squirrels and frogs and was like his shadow. I married my husband, Jason, when I graduated from high school, and we've been married for 24 years. I started hunting with my husband, who had hunted some before we got married, like I did with my dad.

Crissy Springer of Babes, Bullets and Broadheads Explains the Responsibility of Sharing The Hunting Tradition

I've been hunting ever since I've been old enough to go hunting. My mother and my dad were both hunters. We lived in Florida and hunted deer with dogs back in those days. Sometimes my dad would leave home to hunt without me. My mom would call him on the CB radio and tell him, “You better come back and get Crissy. She’s crying her eyes out to go hunting with you.”

Amanda Chance of Babes, Bullets and Broadheads on the Love for Taking Women and Children Hunting

I live in Leoma, Tennessee. I started rabbit hunting with my dad about when I first began to walk. During my teenage years, I had too many other activities and didn’t hunt, although I did fish with my dad. But I never lost my love of the outdoors, and I never stopped wanting to go hunting. So in my 20s, I started hunting again.

Late season in Iowa usually occurs after shotgun season - from Christmas until January 10. This time usually includes late muzzleloader season, but for me it’s bowhunting only. At that time of the year, the rut is usually over, the weather is extremely cold, and most often our area has snow.

Field Judging Black Bears

Ask any experienced hunter and they’ll tell you that black bears are among the most difficult big game animals to field judge. Part of that is because they’re far less common than deer, so hunters just don’t get much experience seeing them. And part is just the nature of the beast. Any large, black carnivorous animal will look big, especially if you don’t have something for scale nearby.
