About two weeks prior to last year’s opening day of rifle season for deer, the necessary checks were in need of being made. The rifles craved a thorough cleaning, shooting, and cleaning again, and certainly there was some dust on my shooting skills, having had to be reintroduced to the use of a scope since I had only recently returned home after exiting the Army, and looked forward to the pain

Many people in today’s society have different views and opinions of what it means to be a hunter; some would say it is for survival, others for sport, and some prefer to look upon hunting as a murderous lifestyle intent upon killing helpless animals. I myself view hunting as a lifestyle, a necessary existence that makes life better for all wildlife and people involved, and potentially one of the

I don’t know about everyone else within the outdoor community, but I’m getting more excited as the days go by. Once the snow melts and the ground thaws, it’s time to start the long-awaited preparations for the coming whitetail season. My patience has been wearing thin since the end of hunting season last year, and I’m feeling like a kid in a candy store now that my day of action quickly

I have concluded that it is ultimately necessary for me to provide my readers with something they won’t be able to match elsewhere, my mother’s cooking prowess. When she provides me with a recipe, it will go straight to the web, and anyone foolish enough not to make them doesn’t deserve the priceless reward.

No matter where you go or what you do, if you display the tell tale signs of being a hunter, you will receive constant chiding regarding how wrong it is to hunt poor innocent animals. It isn’t wrong for people to believe hunting animals to be wrong, just as it isn’t wrong for people to be against abortion, but forcing their views on people is flat out inappropriate.Regardless what these

With the change from the Car of yesterday to the Car of today, so many people were expecting this season to begin where last year left off, with Hendrick Motorsports dominating the field. Now that we are a few races complete, it has become relatively obvious that every race is going to be an adventure. So far, Carl Edwards has had an excellent season, though I truly enjoy watching him lose, and

The rising number of anti-hunter groups and close-minded individuals can be the result of the projected and distorted image of all hunters today. Many view hunters as bloodthirsty, disrespectful, and hostile individuals with no appreciation for the environment and we have received this image because of the small percentage of sportsmen who make poor decisions and practice little common sense.

I’ve been shooting rifles for almost my entire life and for me, shooting accurate came easy, but after being in the Army for 10 years, I’ve seen that shooting doesn’t come easily to so many. I’m sure many would be happy to know that at least 85% of the people I’ve known in the Army can’t shoot to save their lives. Some of them try real hard to improve with no luck, but with the right coach, even

It has been many years since the whole global warming alarm has been pitched and experts continue to talk about the polar icecaps melting. These experts seem to catch your attention quickly with all of their supposed facts and by the time they finish talking you find yourself picturing the day when everyone has to wear thong bikinis and spf 100 sunscreen. To put it straight, you scared out of

Last year Toyota entered the NASCAR Sprint Cup series investing in Michael Waltrip Racing and Redbull. This investment was supposed to be a sound decision and give them an opportunity to put Toyota on the map and challenge the long time dominators of the series, Chevy, Ford, and Dodge. As the season developed, many were skeptical that Toyota would be able to gain a foothold against the

Today’s Sam’s Town 300 was an excellent race full of excitement across the board. Toyota once again came out with a strong show of force and dominated with their experience and powerful engine packages until both Kyle “Rowdy” Busch and Tony Stewart were wrecked out of the race. Kyle remarkably moved from the back of the pack to the front at the very beginning of the race with his daring moves

At a very young age, deer hunting became more of a lifestyle than a hobby. My father has always been the greatest influence towards hunting and I can clearly remember his methods of preparing me for my first season. He sat at the table beside me with a stack of close to fifty deer hunting magazines and proceeded to show me the cover of every issue and I had to point to the place that I would
