My phone buzzed from across the room indicating I had a text message. ‘Want to go hunting Friday?’ Chris must have been reading my mind. The week prior it had been really windy and now, the temps were high, but dropping in the evenings. ‘YES!’ was my immediate reply. Weather…

As promised, I am sharing some of the game camera footage I was able to capture over the past month. This camera has been up for a while and we knew there were pigs in the area, but we had videoed mostly coyotes. That was until the rains came and…

Seeing this after releasing arrows at 40 yards with a 20-30 mph crosswind was encouraging! My thoughts had been on bowhunting all week. Every day was filled with more than enough to do, but come Friday at 5:00 PM I needed some arrow therapy. Once it arrived, I knew it…
