It’s the second week of archery season, daylight's fading, you can’t help thinking of dinner. You turn and look behind you one last time. To your absolute disbelief there stands a massive 10-point! This comes as a shock, a tremendous shock. Your heart hammers against your ribs; hands are shaking, knees like jelly. With trembling hands, you take the bow off the hook and somehow attach your release. Your eyes...

This subject has been slowly gaining more and more of my attention and has now reached the point I feel it needs addressed. Speaking with a wide variety of hunters who share widely differing levels of experience and skill, listening to their own experiences and those others have shared with me, it’s become apparent many archers don’t realize archery hunting has decided limitations, expect results their equipment cannot deliver. Every...

I try to visit my daughter, Julie, several times a year even though it involves an 8-hour drive to her home in Rhode Island. Invariably, there’s a "Honey Do" list of some type or another — but fathers rather enjoy those. I’ve made this drive many times and it’s funny how you break long journeys down. For me, the first part is from Bradford to Hornell. Now Hornell is only...

To bag a giant buck requires more than luck nowadays. True, you may be lucky and stumble onto a wall hanger, but the most successful hunters first locate a monster and plan a strategy. Fishing successfully for big trout demands you fish a stream or lake which holds numbers of large fish and the same holds true for bucks. If you can locate 2 or 3 dandies your odds are...

Wow, it’s fall again and the weather is noticeably cooling, the streams are up and lake temperatures are down. I should have been born twins to take advantage of all the opportunities available this time of year. When the first frosts hit and the leaves begin to color, hunting season opens while fishing picks up at the same time! It just isn’t fair — there’s so much to do and...

When my good buddy, George Duncan, informed me he planned to start hunting again I was thrilled. Five years earlier he found himself surrounded by many of the inevitable life trials many find themselves facing in our later years. Slightly overwhelmed, he’d reluctantly decided to sell all of hunting and fishing gear. Almost immediately, seller's remorse set in, but at the time the decision seemed the correct one. Five years...
