Make Your Clover Last for Years

Most companies will claim a lifespan of three to five years on their perennials. However, if you care for them properly a perennial stand can last for many years.

Allen Treadwell on How He Became a Professional Hunter and Perhaps You Can Too

I'm often asked, “How does someone become a professional hunter like you?” I can’t speak for other professional hunters.

Corky and George Richardson - a Man and His Son Are of the Same Mind and Hunting Runs Through It

What I like about hunting with my dad is we are kindred spirits. We can leave camp. I can go one way, and Dad can head in another direction. Usually, within 4 hours of not having seen each other, we’ll be standing or sitting on the same rock, even though we never planned to meet that morning. Whatever I’ve learned from him, and whatever I’ve taught him, we both seem to have the same mind.

On the first morning hunt in Arizona, my wife, Cindi, went with me.

About 2-years ago, I went on a black bear hunt in Alaska. My father, who didn’t know much about bears, wasn’t really excited about his young daughter hunting bears in Alaska. He begged me not to go.
