A very Merry Christmas to everyone around the world on this very special day. Not just to my fellow deerhunting BloodBrothers in North America, but to all my fellow human beings no matter where you are from. Peace and goodwill toward man isn’t just a Yuletide thing for me, but in the Nugent family...
Our hearts are heavy here at Deer & Deer Hunting, as we have just learned of the passing of our dear friend and longtime contributor John Trout Jr. He was one of the most knowledgable bowhunters in North America and one of the best blood-trailers. We will miss you, John. Our thoughts and prayers...
