Opening day for the 2019 Ohio wild turkey spring season was finally here. I had prepped well before season again this year and had “that” feeling when I woke up on the morning of April 22nd. I was not dissapointed. Preseason Prep I’ve found that my preseason preparations have had
I have been working on completing my NWTF Slam with a bow for several years now, and I’ve been fortunate enough to take quite a few Eastern Turkeys, as well as four Merriam’s. So when my wife asked me if I’d like to go to Texas this spring to visit
In typical fashion, Dorge had several new patents and new products for 2019. Despite my engineering degree, a lot of the science around Dorge’s products goes way over my head – at least during his first explanation or two. One system of his that caught my attention was his AeroConcept
New for 2019, TightSpot Quivers introduces the TightSpot Rise. The Rise is the latest offering in an already versatile lineup of quivers with a specific goal to meet the needs of the treestand hunter. The Rise is built with the same narrow design that makes all TightSpot quivers perfect for

New for 2019, Thermacell released an improved version of their 2018 award-winning Radius zone mosquito repellent. Like the first generation radius, it features a rechargeable Li-ion battery which makes it substantially more airline-friendly versus a typical butane-powered repellant. The Radius 2.0 features a 10% longer battery life allowing for a
Like most archers, I started out shooting a compound bow with a wrist-strap style release back when I was in middle school. Not out of choice, it was the only one lying around the house that was available. For most hunters starting out, after you fork over the money for
I’ve heard it said many times that you can’t fill a tag sitting at home. I would argue that it was sitting at home on November 1st that put me in a perfect position to do just that. Of course, the hunt that took place is far from your classic whitetail
It was now almost five years since I had successfully filled a buck tag here in Ohio. The last buck tag I’ve filled was on November 3rd of 2013 to be exact. I had spent countless hours in the tree and in a blind over the course of those five
I’m not going to lie: I’ve been shooting with a Spot Hogg sight ever since I reunited with compound-bow hunting back in 2010. Prior to that I was either in middle school shooting a bow that didn’t even fit me, or instinctively shooting a stick-and-string throughout high school/college. After giving
In our first, of hopefully several, “VLOGs” (video blogs for those that haven’t heard the term used before), SELFILMED’s Steve Shields discusses broadheads and why he chooses to shoot the heads he does.
