Sometimes it Just Rains
Sometimes it Just Rains
One last check on the weather before heading out the door told the same story as the night before. Rain was to taper off by 5 am, so out the door I went, into a misting December rain. I loaded my bow and a few remaining pieces of gear into the truck and began the two-hour drive to an 80-acre tract of woods in middle Georgia.
Two hours is a lot of time to think and reflect on the season. I hadâŠ

Crispin and I pulled into the small parking area well before first light. I was really excited to finally be sharing a hunt with my good friend. You see, I have known Crispin Henry for many years but though we talked about it many times we had never hit the woods together until this morning. As we gathered our gear we spent the time catching up on family, work and our experiences in the woodsâŠ

One in Thirty
Earlier this spring, I returned to a location that has become a favorite of mine. On the agenda was a week with friends, some old and some new, to share stories, a campfire or two and the pursuit of feral hogs.
This story really begins on the first day. A Sunday afternoon in March. My good friend Thom Jorgensen and I had arrived in camp about mid-day and headed deep into the swamps around 3 p.m.âŠ

Tales, Friends and Memories
The door creaked as I stepped into the bunkhouse. The noise interrupted a story being told by other hunters in camp. I found an empty seat as quietly as I could while the two hunters continued their recollection of the hunt.
âYea, that pig was trying to get away, trying to get away and trying to get away and then all of a sudden she was just squared up and ready to fight! Iâm glad you got thatâŠ

The Seasons Change
There is nothing like the excitement that grows in a bowhunter as the opening day of deer season approaches. Countless hours of preparation during the off season are in the books. The days spent scouting areas old and new have passed. investments in equipment maintenance, repair or perhaps something new have been made. Hours upon hours of shooting, whether foam targets, hay bales, or randomâŠ

2018 Mule Deer Prep and Planning Update
First of all, my apologies for not writing any new updates on the prep and planning going on for my fall DIY Mule Deer hunt. There has just been a ton going on: My day job (the one that pays the bills) consumes 50-60 hours most weeks, string orders have continued to fly in (Thank you all!!!!) plus I have had two large bulk orders from bowyers come in as well so I am âdoing the twistâ in theâŠ

Traditional Outdoors Podcast â Join us for the journey
My buddy Nick Viau mentioned starting a podcast many months ago and at the time I honestly did not think much about it. I had a full plate with work, maintaining this website, making strings and arrows and preparing for hunting season. Mostly I felt I did not have the time to do it but secondly I just did not feel I had a lot to offer with so many âTraditional Archeryâ or âTraditional BowhuntingââŠ

The Strugglestick Addiction: Part II - Aron Snyder
The Strugglestick Addiction: Part II â Aron Snyder
Spring time was over and I had all summer to get ready for the fall hunting season. I had learned so much already, but still felt like I had barely scratched the bottom of the barrel when it came to traditional archery. I knew I needed to keep focusing on my shooting form but also knew that above all I needed to change my hunting style and understand that where my hunt ended with a compound, itâŠ

My Hunterâs Voice
A sudden beam of light from my headlamp indicated it was time to call it a night. I had been sitting in the ladder stand since 9pm and it was now going on 2am. A large boar had been captured on trail camera many nights around midnight. I had hoped he might come in but the night had been very quiet. As I looked down my wool pants shimmered in the light of my headlamp. It seemed the temperature hadâŠ

If you would have asked me a few years ago what I thought about traditional archery, you probably wouldnât have gotten much of a response from me. It wasnât that I disliked it, but I definitely didnât have any ambition to pursue it either. So in early 2016 when I decided to shoot and hunt with nothing but a recurve, it was as much of a surprise to me as it was my friends. The decision actuallyâŠ

My Search for the Right Backcountry Backpack
Buying a pack for a backcountry hunt can be a bit of a daunting task. Especially when living in the Southeast. It is not like you can just walk into a store here and start trying pack systems designed for packing in your camp and later be ready to pack out your animal and your gear. Instead I started researching packs and pack systems on line. I watched product videos, 3rd party review videos andâŠ

The Gift Buck
The traditional bowhunting community has bestowed numerous gifts upon me over the years, most are more spiritual in nature. A kind gesture, an offer of assistance, a bowhunting tale or a campfire yarn. Yet, perhaps some of the most special gifts I have received are those of friendships. I have made quite a few along my traditional journey. This story begins in March of 2017. I was invited toâŠ

It has been two weeks since the âGetting Startedâ article was published so it is time for a progress report. I have a good bit of information and data to share from the past two weeks and I am going to do my best to present this material in an orderly and usable manner. As with any article based mostly on collected data this could read a little dry but I will try to keep it entertaining as well.âŠ
