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

Want More Turkeys?

One of the most satisfying aspects in game management is maintaining a healthy crop of turkeys to hunt or bringing back a wild turkey population in an area where they have struggled in the past. A simple mistake we see made every year that can have a negative impact on your turkey numbers is the good old bush hog. After being on your property during the spring, you begin to see a lot of things

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.

How a Turkey Hunt Is Supposed to Happen But Doesn’t

So the moral of the story is: when you go turkey hunting, you never know what the turkey will do, even though you think you do. You never know what your turkey hunting partner will do, although you think you do. Also, you never really know what you’ll do, even though you think you do.

Tips for Taking Kids Hunting

I have been very fortunate to get to take many young hunters to the field. It is a very rewarding experience, but it requires a whole other level of preparation and patience. Their attention span, patience and tolerances of weather can be very different from that of an experienced hunter. Here are a few things to keep in mind when taking kids afield.

What Turkey Hunting With Other People Means
