Kentucky is an up and comer in regards to producing some of the country’s biggest whitetail bucks each year. They routinely put trophy bucks in the books each season. But sadly, a deadly disease may be on the move across the state once again. The realities of nature can be harsh, particularly when deadly diseases,…

Go big or go home, right? That apparently applies to the way we build deer stands as well these days. Wisconsin deer hunter, Jesse Kauffman, decided to build a deer stand big enough for his whole family (and friends, too) to hunt from. And while we don’t really know if this is in fact the…

While fidget spinners are all the rage here in the U.S., the Chinese have come up with a new “toy” to keep themselves entertained.  These miniature crossbows are built to fire toothpicks and appear to pack a pretty decent punch judging by the photos.  Although the long-range accuracy and penetration of these devices is most…

It wasn’t too many years ago that a deer hunter’s herd management plan included nothing more than throwing out a salt block or two on the property they hunted.
