Entries for July 2012

Wow, time sure flies. I could swear it was just yesterday when I posted the Prime Shift LR sweepstakes, but as I glanced at the calendar this morning I realized it ends Sunday. You know what that means ... you better hurry up and enter before it’s over.

I was hanging out with my two little girls the other day—ages 2 1/2 (going on 24) and 1 (going on 3)—building pretend ground blinds from blocks (at least I was) on the living room floor with "Shrek 3" playing on the TV in the background for at least the third time this week. Things were going smoothly when my oldest daughter realized my youngest was playing with a red block … and that’s when things went south in a hurry. Like a coyote caught in a leg-hold, Mya turned, snarling, and lunged at Joey.

We found one of the best rangefinder binocular combinations on the market today for this Thursday Product Review on "My Take." Now you get an incredible binocular from Swarvoski combined with a rangefinder that reads out to 1,500 yards!

Bowhunting on TV has been a part of my life for more than 25 years now.  When I was asked to jump on board as columnist for the "Bowhunting" section of North American Hunter magazine, I was extremely flattered. NAH connects with heaps of hunters—more than 200,000 of whom are bowhunters! The duties of any journalist in the 21st century can't go without digital contribution, so here I am, in front of you with the first-ever post in my new "Adventure Bowhunter" blog.

Bowfishing is a great way to spend a summer afternoon and keep your archery skills in check. For today's Q&A Day, Jesse James from northern Indiana asks: "What is your favorite type of bowfishing, and why?"

I can't stress it enough: Don't waste your summer. Now's the time to get in shape, scout and test gear for upcoming hunting seasons.

High-quality, scent-free hair products have always been difficult to find, but not anymore. Just For Does has taken salon-grade shampoo and conditioner and made it specifically for female hunters! But guys, they haven't left you out—Just For Bucks is available to keep you looking good this fall, too.

There’s nothing more dangerous than spending an entire summer launching arrows at a single target and then heading afield with a false notion of preparedness. This promotes an unhealthy goal of striving to hit a spot rather than hitting where you’re aiming. And believe me—there’s a difference.

You face a conundrum if you’re determined to own one of the best-balanced, easy shooting, deadly accurate whitetail rounds ever developed. Will it be the .260 Rem. or 6.5 Creedmoor?

This week my show title says it all: "Mule Deer Madness." You'll see two incredible muley hunts in Montana and Colorado.
