Bowhunter

by Fred Eichler A lot of fellow traditional bowhunters ask me what I do to get ready for hunting season or what my practice regimen is. In truth, practicing for the season never really stops for the guy that doesn’t want it to. What I mean is that it takes effort, dedication, and sacrifice to make […]

by Fred Eichler I am often asked my opinion on what the most challenging animal to hunt with a traditional bow is. It is not an easy answer. I have had some hunts where the most difficult animal to hunt were the ones everyone told me would be easy. Caribou for example have been super tough for me […]

If you’re a bowhunter, you’ve probably logged most of your hours 20 feet off the ground in a treestand. I know I have.  Although I gun hunted from the ground for years, it wasn’t until much later in life that I started bowhunting from the ground. And honestly, I wish I had done it sooner. […]

There was never a point in my life where I thought, “When I have a baby I’m going to take them hunting with me before they can even walk.” But that’s sort of what happened. When I got pregnant I assumed I would be able to leave Isabella with my husband while I hunted. As […]

At the time of writing this, deer season is just days away here in Ohio, and I’ve been running down a mental checklist in my head of all the things I need to do and have ready for opening day. I’ve always been a very prepared person, so these things are just something I do […]

By Fred Eichler No, this is not a recipe on how I like to cook turkeys. It is about my favorite way to hunt turkeys. I’m not really sure if I love to hunt turkeys or if they are just the only thing that is really huntable in the spring besides pigs, bears or fish. […]

By Beka Garris On Instagram @bekagarris | If you frequently hunt public land, I am sure that you have had your share of mishaps and run-ins with other hunters. You’d like to think that as hunters, we are all on the same page and therefore will be respectful of others and the area we are […]
