Shoot Your Bow in the Summer or Pay the Price in the Fall
During this summertime phase of the offseason is when I start to get very eager. I find that the hunting itch becomes harder and harder not to scratch by the time Independence Day rolls around.

I always sat there wishing I could quickly and efficiently set up in a different location. I’m not saying […]

Why The North American Grasslands Conservation Act is So Important
Grasslands have been a symbol of movement west since settlers ventured away from the east coast hundreds of years ago. The landscape has changed throughout these centuries and continues to change.

Buffalo Pheasant Flatbreads Recipe
Sometimes it’s tough to come up with ideas for dinner, and you have to get a little creative. One of my favorite ways to serve up wild game is in pizza form, but using naan or some other flatbread in place of the crust. It simplifies the process and tastes excellent, too. The beauty of […]

Update: The Big Picture — Grid Up Versus Grid Down–Oil, Soil, and Water
The following is an update to an article that I posted in SurvivalBlog back in September of 2005, shortly after Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast: — Before selecting a retreat locale, It is crucial that you decide on your own worst-case scenario. A location that is well-suited to surviving a “slow-slide” grid up scenario (a la the deflationary depression of the 1930s) might not necessarily be well suited to a grid down situations.

Why Equipment Snobbery is Bad for Bowhunting
When did bowhunter start being so snobbish and nasty to one another?
