2014 Montana Whitetail Recap
2014 Montana Whitetail Recap by Macy Spencer This last season was a rough one for sure! Let me preface this by stating: I hunt for food--my freezer is filled with my family's harvests--but, I also consider size, and I'm not ashamed to say so! I prefer to take a mature buck, especially, if I still have meat in the freezer. Passing a lesser buck, means that it could be a nice … [Read more...] about 2014 Montana Whitetail Recap
Shot Positioning for a Clean Kill
Shot Positioning for a Clean Kill by Glen Stilson I remember by first big game kill very clearly in my mind. My dad and I had put the sneak on a small group of elk in the middle of an open field, and now they weren't more than 150 yards away.

Stormy Weather Whitetails
Stormy Weather Whitetails by Scott Haugen Four days of hard hunting, and all I’d seen was a handful of deer, and no bucks. Does and fawns nervously fed along timbered edges, here and there, but the bucks—even the number of does I’d expected—were nowhere to be seen. That night, just as I was ready to call it quits, a storm front moved in. Temperatures dropped more than 30º, … [Read more...] about Stormy Weather Whitetails
The Importance of Dope
The Importance of Dope by Glen Stilson When I head to the shooting range for some practice or out into the field for a hunt, I always make sure I bring my dope. No, I’m not talking about the much debated green leafy plant; I’m talking about D.O.P.E., or ‘Data on Previous Engagements’. There are a few other versions of the acronym that I’ve heard, such as ‘Data Obtained … [Read more...] about The Importance of Dope
Setting Up For Success
Setting Up For Success Glen Stilson When I was learning how to shoot a rifle as a young child, I remember being told, “Hurry up and take your time.” It’s a concept that I still use today when I need to make a good, clean shot or when I’m teaching others the fundamentals of marksmanship.
