Line Up of Top 2012 PSE Bows

I have used this bow for the past 8 months and love the fact that this bow is compact but still shoots great. It helped me on my quest for the 2012 Turkey Slam with Bow this past spring where I was able to shoot four of the five species of turkeys for grand slam. I am looking forward to using it in the tree stand this year as well.

This sometimes means that fertilizer gets left out and was not added at or before planting time, not to worry. Fertilizer can be applied after planting with no problem. If you are like me, you can’t stand to drive over your plot after its been planted. But the benefits of the fertilizer will far outweigh

John O’Dell Has an Exciting Bowhunt for White-Tailed Deer

My videoing and hunting partner, Dave Reisner, and I were hunting and filming in Kentucky last year with Ben Maki, Chief Marketing Officer for Mossy Oak, on his family land in Kentucky. The first day we arrived for our hunt, the weather was between 90 and 100 degrees. The second day, a storm came in and brought wind and rain.

Crossbows for 2012 Hunting Season

The Raider features an economically executed variation of parent company TenPoint’s powerful Compact Limb System (CLS) bow assembly. Unlike TenPoint’s one-piece CLS riser and foot stirrup, however, the Raider is designed with a detachable, lightweight coated aluminum foot stirrup. Its 12-inch IsoTaper Limbs are fitted with MR cams and ultra-strong D-75 string and cables. Together, these features create a smooth-handling, high-performance crossbow that drives a 20-inch arrow at 330 fps with 101.6 ft./lbs. of kinetic

Scoutlook Weather Website - The Guess Work is over....

Are you the kind of bowhunter that just picks a weekend and goes hunting no matter what? There is nothing wrong with that approach, as we have all done it. Are you the kind of bowhunter that plans every aspect of your hunt to the point where it is analysis by paralysis? If you are like me you are somewhere in between these two types of bowhunters. I have learned that if you are going

Both my grandfathers and a great uncle served in World War II. None of them talked much at all about what they did or saw in those years, but their enjoyment of life and the outdoors told me without words why they did it. To all those who have served and continue serving, thank you.

A whitetail buck may lose up to ¼ of his body weight during the rut. His sole focus is breeding with as many receptive does as he can. Why not give him what he’s been waiting for? Estrus scents are by far the most popular type of deer lure sold; however, they are not all created equal. Freshness, how it’s bottled and how it’s stored can all affect how effective your deer pee will be.
