About the D&DH Web Pro Staff
Deer & Deer Hunting traces its origins to the humble beginnings of the Stump Sitters Whitetail Study Group — a grassroots, all-volunteer organization of hunters who shared a passion for the white-tailed deer. Stump Sitter members would submit observations from the field, reviews of products, articles on deer hunting tactics and even humor pieces. The Deer & Deer Hunting Web Pro Staff brings this concept into the online world.
Members of our Web Pro Staff are deer hunting’s diehards — these folks, who hail from around the country, think about deer hunting year round, and while many may not be widely known (yet) they are some of the most knowledgeable deer hunters you’ll find anywhere. The Web Pro Staff provides honest feedback on everything from hunting tactics and in-the-field hunt observations to favorite products — both in online articles, The Rub Line blog, and the forum, where many serve the role of moderate for the D&DH State Forums.

It would be six more years before I could buy a license, but even before that my Pennsylvania Game News was the highlight of my month. I read it ragged, believing that a magazine would someday publish my writing. I’ve written for Today, I’m as excited as ever about deer hunting — especially since we’re now letting our deer in Pennsylvania get a little older. I hunt with rifle, bow, inline muzzleloader and camera. Kevin Stephens Kentucky How long you’ve read D&DH: 20+ years Biography:
