Mark Drury Remembers the Explosion When His Broadhead Hit a Rock Instead of a Buck

To our surprise, the buck had no clue about what just had happened. He trotted off about 20 yards, stopped, looked back and trotted off. When we saw the deer leave, my cameraman and I almost fell on the ground laughing. On that hunt, I went home with my deer tag in my pocket, but we created a laughable moment in our hunting history that will last forever. I still can close my eyes and

Steve Stoltz and I are really-good friends. We have competed against each other in turkey-calling contests and have worked together filming and bowhunting. We’re almost like brothers, and Steve is as strong-willed as Terry and me. Once we were hunting in Louisiana and went in before daylight to hang an extra tree stand, so Steve could photograph as I tried to take a deer with my PSE EVO Max. In Steve’s opinion, hanging the tree

I am encouraged about the number of youngsters coming into the shooting sports. I am seeing more young people at handgun competitions and in team matches.

Cheese Curds and Snow Plows

Several years ago while entertaining some of my wife’s relatives, I was put into a bit of an awkward situation. Seeing how she was born in Wisconsin and her relatives still live up there that meant I was basically surrounded by Yankees. During their visit, I took the one male Yankee (her uncle) under my wing and did what I thought was a great job of southern hospitality. He was an outdoor guy and was

Canned Venison Memories

We canned a total of 21 jars of venison and since we could only cook 7 jars at a time, this took us hours to complete. We sat in Rods farm house kitchen while each batch cooked and told stories and talked for hours. It was one of those days I know I will think back on and remember for years to come. Getting in the outdoors is what the trip was about, but I
