Here we are in January. Some of us are still Bowhunting, trying to fill a tag. For those fortunate to find success, we are looking at other activities to fill the void. So, what do you do? Perhaps small game hunting and ice fishing are on your horizon, winter scouting for next year?

I’ve had a lot fun in the kitchen and plan on continuing that over the next 7 months. Unfortunately, I didn’t fill a tag this season so my freezer is a lot more empty than I’d like. I won’t be cooking any venison, but there’s still enough pheasant & goose to keep me busy. More experiences will be had and I’m sure I’ll learn a thing or two while screwing up another recipe.

The story. The trials.  The moments you want to quit.  It becomes about each cold crunchy step.  Stopping to listen to the woods ahead.  Never quite knowing what will be waiting for you when you get there.  Cheers to the Walk!

I was relaxing, enjoying the peace that comes after the struggle that is our kids' bedtime. But then, something terrible happened.

My husband took a seat beside me, cracked open a beer, and said, "I saw a buck in velvet today!" I blacked out for a second, or maybe it was longer; I really am not certain. When I came to, my mind was racing.

Surely this was too soon!? Was it really possible that I would already be entering the absolutely dreadful hunter's wife season?!

I can still see his rack even as far away as he is. That's how nice it was. I can't believe what has just happened. This hunt was the best and worst hunt of my life, all in one. I learned a few things and had an unbelievable experience, but this one will haunt me for a long, long time.

If you are like us, you've got tags left to punch and plenty of space available in your freezer as we tick down to the final weeks of deer season.

Dragging a deer isn’t always the easiest way to get it out.

Retrieving a deer can be a real chore at times. We’ve all been there at some point! You wandered a little farther off the beaten path and found the perfect spot. You set up, and as luck would have it, you knock down a deer! Now it’s time to get it out of whatever terrain you’re hunting.
