Hunters Get Deer From the Woods on a Bicycle
When Michael Hehner and Chris Johnson trek into the forest to hunt deer, they’re smart enough to ride a bicycle just in case they drop a buck or doe. Pretty cool, eh? This isn’t a new hunting trick, by any means, but some hunters don’t want to fool with a bike. But instead of dragging […]
The Crossbow Accessory Guide: Hot Deer Gear for Next Season
Archery hunting is becoming a gear-driven sport, which makes some traditionalists cringe. For gadget guys like me, though, there’s never been a better time to be a bow hunter.

Learning Life’s Lessons on Opening Day
Back on a high ridge, along an old cut trail, stood a young man inside a make-shift hunting blind. I remember the light coming through the trees, still slightly foggy. The earthy smells, the quietness, the coolness. I can still picture the moss growing on the trunks of the trees, the small droplets of water […]
Deer Stories: He’s a Nice Buck!
“I finally shot the big one, Zeke. I’m on my way over to show you!” Earl is 67 years old and has been been deer hunting for more than 20 years. He’s a farmer, so it’s been hard for him to hunt hard and spend long hours in the field. By Rev. Zeke Pipher It […]
