How Mark Owen Got to the Stand in the Dark without Spooking the Huge Ohio Buck

For 8 days, from the time I had permission to hunt the big buck, until the day I climbed into the tree stand, I hardly ate. I had butterflies in my stomach the entire week.

Mark Owen’s Dream Comes True When He Hunts a Monster Ohio Bow Buck

That was on September 21, one week before the season opened when the landowner told me he wanted me to hunt the first day of bow season and have the first chance at this buck. The 21st held a lot of meaning for me, because my father, Jim Owen, passed away at the age of 62 on April 21 from a massive heart attack. He was an outdoorsman, a life-long trapper and a coon and

Trent Cole of the Philadelphia Eagles Has a Passion for His Future in Football and the Outdoors

Standing where I am right now, I know I have a great future ahead of me. I believe while I am still playing that the Philadelphia Eagles will go to a Super Bowl, and I will go with them, or at least I hope I will.

The Philadelphia Eagles’ Trent Cole Practices for That One Important Moment in Football or on a Hunting Trip

Another big advantage I have – and possibly the biggest advantage – is I love to play football, I love to hunt, and I love to produce great TV. When you’re doing the things you love, I have learned you don’t feel the same stress, and you don’t get nearly as tired, as when you’re doing things you don’t really like, or don’t have a passion for them. When you have a passion, you will

The Philadelphia Eagles’ Trent Cole Explains the Marriage of Professional Football and Professional Hunting

I want to go after something full-steam ahead and wide open in football, whether it’s a quarterback, a running back, or a receiver. In hunting, I want to aggressively pursue the animal that I hope to take.
