Finally…the big one
By Nate Jacobson
As I think back about my first years with a bow, I reflect on those fun days with my Bear recurve and my dad’s old, woodshafted arrows with Bear razor points. I practiced hours on end with that bow. My brothers, James and Russ, would throw boxes in the air […]

Here’s Something to Chew On…

I was belly-crawling towards a high basin where a buck had bedded just minutes earlier. I usually prefer to hunt alone, but a friend who sought to harvest this respectable buck was in tow. My friend would be the first to tell you, he’s a weekend warrior […]

At the start of the hunting season, I remember telling my wife that I hoped it would finally be my turn this year to shoot a large buck. What an understatement that turned out to be. My yearly Colorado hunting trip was fast approaching and I prepared […]

The Promise
By Eric Merrit
I want to go elk hunting with you, Daddy.” Yeah, sure, I thought as I held a coveted Nevada archery elk tag for one of the hottest public elk hunting areas in the West. I had waited twenty years for this opportunity and I wanted nothing more than to share this event […]

Monster Whitetail taken with a longbow
By Todd Huddle
About five years ago, I made a decision to change over to traditional bowhunting equipment. I made this decision not from being dissatisfied by hunting with a compound bow, but rather from a renewed interest in the weapon that I had started out shooting when I […]

“Franklin Bull”
World Record Archery Bull Elk
One of the greatest challenges in hunting Arizona’s monster bulls is to draw a tag. Nick Franklin did just that in 2003. He actually drew his second choice hunt. Nick’s brother Charlie had also drawn a tag in the same unit and the two of them began scouting […]

Robert King
