Parrish Elliott Says Thank You, Lord, He’s not Dead after His Tree Stand Fall

I've been bowhunting and climbing trees for 30 years. I've never fallen, I've never had an accident, and I consider myself a very-safe bowhunter. I had tried safety harnesses before, but I felt like they were very restrictive and got in the way when I was trying to turn, draw and shoot. To be honest, I never felt like I needed to wear one. When I was younger, I always thought I was 10-feet tall

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

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.

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.

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.

Curtis Goettsch on Tactics for Hunting Iowa’s Late Season Agriculture

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.

I'd studied this buck's pattern for a couple of weeks, being extremely careful not to leave any scent in the wrong places. I'd selected a stand site where the dense underbrush funneled into a 40-yard-wide strip. I was sure this was where he would walk and I
