Typically Dave Maas' "Killing Time" blog is the happenin' place for awe-striking videos, but today I'll share my own hot find.

Think you have basketball on the brain this weekend? Sure, the Final Four semis are Saturday and the championship is Monday, but there’s no Wildcat, Buckeye, Jayhawk or Cardinal that can compare to the whitetail in today's "Killing Time" video.

What's in a headline? A lot if you read the recent headlines on the northern Yellowstone elk herd: "Yellowstone Elk Herd Declines 80 Percent Since 1992."

Three brothers, Randall, Daniel and Michael Gregg (the Gregg Group), have conceptualized a new rifle platform that would shoot photos and video instead of bullets.

Today I'll share a few helpful tips regarding draw weight for hunting bows. Bowhunters, you don't want to miss this Tip Tuesday edition of "My Take."
