    Practice Life-Sized

    by Moultrie Feeders

    -By Brandon Wikman

    Summer is a time when hunters hone their archery skills and try to outdo their shooting performance from last year. It is an ideal time to tweak, tick, and twiddle with new gear or accessories. The summer drags most archers into their front yard or local shooting range to plunk away on bag, block, or 3D targets. I’ve learned that it is crucial to your practice regimen that you invest efforts into piercing arrows in the correct target at the correct time.

    Whitetail Vocabulary Lesson

    by Moultrie Feeders

    -By Brandon Wikman

    Whitetail deer have a wide assortment of both verbal and nonverbal means of communication. They’re language and lingo has been carefully studied by animal biologists since the early years of the late 1800’s. Deer have a very unique style of engaging in conversation. Many of us have already heard of the basic converse from deer to deer. A whitetail’s vocabulary ranges from bleats, grunt, bellows, and bawls. The list below details the most popular whitetail dialect. You will generate a fresh idea of deer verbalization and a typical time frame of season they communicate.

    choosing the right tactical knife

    With such a broad selection of knives and an endless list of different manufacturers it can be a hard task trying to find the suitable tactical knife that will serve your desired task. I know this because I went through it all years ago and back then there wasn’t as much variety. Lucky enough I have gained a good knowledge of the different types of tactical knives throughout the years. Let me explain.

    First question you need to ask yourself.

    What situation will you want the tactical knife for, urban, jungle, forest etc. Each knife can serve a different purpose. A machete for jungle, a strong blade for forest with teeth to cut branches and for urban combat a good tactical knife might be considered a multi-purpose knife as with these you have screw driver, pliers etc.

    hunting knives – choosing the right style

    Many hunters are preparing their equipment for the Fall 2008 Hunting Season. This article describes the various hunting knives available to hunters this season and the benefits of each style.

    People of all ages throughout time have hunted for survival, pleasure, and necessity. The hunting knife has been a staple piece of equipment for all of these scenarios. A quality knife makes the process of hunting easier, more enjoyable, and often times safer. When looking for the right hunting knife for yourself you must understand what types of knives are available to you.

    Types of Hunting Knives

    primitive bows

    The first bow was probably no more than a stick that had a piece of sinew tied to it. Bows and arrows were used for myriad purposes: Hunting, delivering messages, battle and war, competition, and more. Over the centuries, not much has changed, as far as the basic concept of bows is concerned. A bow remains a stick with a string. However, the bow itself has evolved into a precision weapon, and though it may not be used anymore in warfare or for delivering messages, it is still favored equipment amongst hunters and archery enthusiasts.

    dog boots: the conundrum continues

    Scott B. called with a question I’ve had a LOT of personal experience with: dog boots. This topic has generated more frustration among more hunters than almost any other (besides over/under vs. side-by-side).

    Hello all,

    It has been a minute since I have posted. I spent my summer loving and enjoying my family and didn’t take the time to post. I hope that all have had similar experiences with their families as they are a true blessing in every since of the word.

    Fall approaches… I know it sure doesn’t seem that way with temps reaching in the 90’s everyday, but it is. The bow season starts the last week of September here in Tennessee. And so…. I need to go shoot my bow from now until bow season is over. I have been out a few times this summer but admittedly I don’t shoot much when it is hot.
