Being a new hunter on a budget has a lot of drawbacks, the biggest of which is the lack of proper equipment. When it came time to butcher my first goose, I quickly learned that my EDC Knife, a Spydero Delica 4, was good for a lot of things. Unfortunately, game processing was not one of them. Since then I’ve been on the lookout for a budget friendly, do-it-all, hunting knife. A few Buck Knives have been on my radar …

Several weeks back I met up with my Hunting Partner, Troy, for a little Pheasant Hunting and Scouting around Hawk Mountain. As we walked around, Troy showed me an area where he came across a Black Bear while Deer Hunting. He told me to keep the area in mind for when Bear Season rolled around and we continued to look for Pheasants. Last week marked the start of Bear Season here in Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, my schedule and the weather didn’t …
Today was a long but uneventful day. It started off as Troy and I trudged through a field, in the darkness, setting up nearly five-dozen decoys in preparation for a Goose Hunt. We settled into our blinds in time to watch the sun light up the sky and sat for nearly four hours. The few geese that we saw were far out and not even the slightest bit interested in our calls. After packing up the decoys we headed out …
I cut out of work a little early today to meet up with Troy for a quick Goose Hunt. We met up at the same farm where we were successful on Saturday. The Private Land is situated between two lakes and looks like it is going to be a fantastic place for us to hunt this year. Zena didn’t join us this time, however, Troy and I seem to work well together. We had the decoys unpacked, hauled into the …
The 3rd Sunday of each month is when Stowe Archers holds their monthly Membership Meeting. Club business is discussed and all members are encouraged to attend. Ordinarily, I probably wouldn’t have attended on the same day as Ontelaunee IDPA but Stowe is in the process of working through some tough changes. The Club President, Curt Peterson, passed away suddenly. As I understand it, Curt was a big reason why the club is so active. Being a brand new member, I …
Goose Hunting is nothing like I’ve ever experienced. It all began before dawn as Troy, Zena, and I ran around a field placing goose decoys in strategic positions. Once satisfied, we got changed and settled into our ground blinds, just in time to watch the sky light up. Unlike deer hunting, goose hunting is a very social experience. We sat around, talking and laughing. When geese could be heard in the distance, we ducked into our blinds and Troy began …
