It’s here! The 2012 Fall issue of Bow Adventures e-magazine. This month there are many great articles on hunts, a book review, gear reviews and 20 questions with hunter/author Steven Rinella. My article is Part 1 of 2 describing the process of a game carrier build that I am working…
From grammar school through college I was a doodler. On every sheet of paper or napkin you’d find some sort of doodle showing what I was thinking about that day. Nowadays, doodles can be found in the way of biologist phone numbers, road names, and illustrations of what I have…
