I have long been a collector of what many folks would call just plain old junk. Having grown up in an outdoor family I learned to hunt, fish, and trap at a young age. With that goes a steady and growing supply of all the odds and ends that it takes to harvest game and […]
Could the COVID-19 crisis impact upcoming hunting seasons that are still months away? The short answer is yes. The way things continue to unfold it appears as though there is a huge chance the COVID-19 shutdown could have a repeat event this fall. All of the news and warnings indicate a return of the virus, especially […]
The joke is that the two worst things that destroy guns are politicians and rust. Trouble is, it is not a joke, especially the rust part. As hunting seasons close down across the country, hunters are tasked with cleaning and placing their valuable hunting guns away for nearly a year of storage. A lot of […]
If the COVID-19 crisis continues beyond your supply of meat, you might find yourself hunting for survival. If you’ve never hunted before, that idea can be daunting.

2019 marks the first year Pennsylvania has had an archery hunting season for elk — and the first one taken was one heck of a trophy. They only issued five bull elk tags for the entire state, and one of those was put to good use on the first day of the hunt. According to […]
Unfortunate to my life I have never hunted in Africa, or even been there. That is except through the pages of many a book and story on the subject as well as a few movies that captured live action there along with some realistic hunting television shows.
