Every year, after Thanksgiving Dinner, my wife’s side of the family has a tradition of making and exchanging Secret Santa lists. My list typically consists of items I find flipping through a store circular or gift cards for stores that I frequent. This year I was caught off guard when my in-laws gave me $100 Cabela’s Gift Certificate. Ever since Christmas I’ve been periodically eyeing up the sale flyers looking for something to spend it on. My initial plan was …

Back in November of 2013, a friend of mine invited me out to a Goose Hunt. Up until this point I had only ever hunted for deer with a bow (no luck whatsoever) and I thought a change of pace might be fun. Since I didn’t have any of the required equipment, I was loaned a shotgun, shells, and a layout blind. The Goose Hunt wound up being one of my most memorable hunting experiences to date. I had such …
At 4:00am, my alarm sounded. I dragged myself out of bed, went down to the kitchen, and poured myself a bowl of cereal. After eating, I hopped into the shower, threw on some clothes, and began the short drive over to Stowe Archers. At 4:45am, with bow in hand, I began to creep into the woods behind the clubhouse. I located my tree-stand, which I left in the woods the night before, and began to climb. Once situated, I eased …

Inside the thread I found photos of a pretty rough looking Turkey. I’m …
Earlier today I received an email from Troy Ross that went out to all of the Archers on the Hamburg Game Association Mailing List. The email contained some information on an upcoming Turkey Hunting Seminar being held at the Hamburg Cabela’s Store. I’ve never hunted Turkey before but I’ve been giving a lot of thought to going out for Spring Gobbler. Cabela’s Turkey Hunting University with Matt Morrett sounds like an awesome way to gather a little knowledge before hitting …
The 2013-2014 Hunting Season is winding down and it is bittersweet. I didn’t put nearly as much meat in my freezer as I had hoped but this season was leaps and bounds better than last. Thanks to Troy, I’ve gone from being absolutely clueless in the woods to having a general idea of what I’m doing. I think in maybe another season or two I’ll be able to call myself a competent hunter. Of all the hunting Troy and I …
