As the leaves on the trees begin to turn green and the days warm, many of us will be heading to the woods, to hunt shed antlers. Unfortunately lurking in the woods is a hidden danger, the Blacklegged Tick, and the Lyme's Disease that it can spread. Recently a good friend went through it, and survived, but not without some suffering and he nearly missed the 2011 hunting season. I

As a biologist I deal with aspects of fish and wildlife behavior on a routine basis. Hardly a week goes by that I don't get at least one phone call or email from someone who witnessed an odd, strange, or erratic animal behavior, or saw something in an unusual location.

My dad never went to college: he went to Vietnam. Yet when I was 13, he introduced me to the greatest fraternity house on the planet. The Buckeye Sportsmen Club was located in the small North Central Pennsylvania town of Morris. This was my first experience at deer camp, and my first experience of what fraternity life would bring later. From the outside, it just looked like a simple square

The fall and winter hunting seasons have all but ended. For many we find it time to get caught up on chores neglected months ago. For others, we find it time to prepare for the coming months and next season.

The rut has come and gone, the warmer weather has passed, the eagerness to jump out of bed and run to the stand may have even been replaced by a quest to find where all those deer you saw in early season have disappeared to. Have you ever experienced that? Here in the south, we are blessed with 4 1/2 months of whitetail deer season. And as the season wears

The hunting season has stretched on and you've been in the woods now for months. Perhaps you've had success harvesting a nice buck or even placing a doe or two in the freezer. And maybe, you have been selective waiting for the right deer to come along, only to still be sitting there with your tag in your wallet, and your hopes and dreams slowly fading away as the season

In today's outdoor world, there's an abrupt distinction, and sometimes there's even arguments, between hunters and their thoughts and opinions, on baiting and supplemental feeding programs. Some say 'What's the difference? It's all the same! You're providing something that didn't come there naturally.' And then some say that 'corn, protein pellets, soybeans, etc. in a feeder is totally different than a food plot.' 'Totally different?' I ask you this, 'With

Over the course of my 23 year career in hunting the one thing that I have seen go from bad to worse is the number of really dishonest and over all bad outfitters in the business. It is important that one knows how to research the company or person your hunting with before you send them any money. Even with 23 years of hands on business I have been fooled

I was just sorta hiking along trying to stay out of the wind and warm up after sitting from before sunrise until nine thirty in the morning. At nine o'clock I was shaking pretty good, it was 21 above, with the wind howling, the wind-chill, made the air temp feel like zero. I was cold.

Each year it seems I somehow wind up as part of a large number of hunters who receive a recycled email joke about making beef taste like venison. Most who read it find themselves nodding their head and chuckling, as the masses who've hunted deer can relate to the uneasy truthfulness of many of the "steps."

You've spent the entire summer carefully glassing him near sunset from the distant safety of a hedgerow surrounding the soybean field of your farm hunting lease. His almost daily appearance out of an almost indiscernible trail opening at the northwest corner of this field is so predictable that you feel you could almost walk up to this particular buck and hand-feed him a fistful of acorns. You've even given him
