Hunting season is almost upon us, and whether you are interested in bagging turkey, deer, elk, bear, or all of the above, you will need to gear up and get ready for another season of productive and successful hunting fun.

And what requires more preparation than bow hunting? Over the years, archery has become increasingly popular due to the innate challenges that this type of hunting provides. Far more than rifle hunting, bow hunting takes a greater level of skill and preparation to hunt and kill your intended game, and if you’re new to bow hunting or are getting back into it after a hiatus, here are some basic tips to help you out.

1. Know Your Bow – Are you new to bow hunting, or a rusty veteran who needs to work out the kinks? If so, familiarize, or re-familiarize, yourself with your wea...

This is a story for dog lovers. Well not really. A story for dog lovers that are hunters: well maybe not that too. A story for dog lovers that are duck hunters, oh, not that either. OK, a story for duck hunters that hunt ducks from a boat, preferably a metal boat.

To hunt ducks, one must be very, very quiet and still. Movement and noise scare ducks. Not good! Many folks have dogs. And what do dogs do? They wag their tails and that’s normal. With Labs, they usually sweep the coffee table clear. Woe be that glass of wine!

I have two black Labrador retrievers. And beautiful dogs they are. Normally around the house and other usual places, one, the boy I call Jazz, wags his tail all the time. It’s in constant motion...

Simple Smoked Shoulder

My favorite way to cook wild pig or boar is by slow roasting or slow smoking the shoulders, allowing the heat do all the work. It beats the tedious task of boning, trimming and chopping into usable chunks of meat. If you don’t have access to a smoker, use any grill with meat as far away from the heat source as possible. Drop a few wood chunks onto the coals or in a pan above the heat source before adding the pig. Larger bone-in cuts will require more time to reach the tender stage...
