The farm I hunt has a long ridge running right through the middle of it. There are usually scrapes and trails located right on the ridge top, but I have never seen any decent bucks from stands located on the ridge. Is it possible that these scrapes are only being made and freshened at night? [...]

I have fletching clamps for my jig for both so I can use either. I’ve been using right and it shoots the same as straight with my field points. I haven’t tried [...]

October 11th, 2009 / Posted by David / No Comments

Question:
When I line up my nocked arrow with the string it appears that the sight pins are well left. I’m right-handed. It seems that they should all line up if the bow is properly sighted in. What causes this and is my form flawed?

Question:
Can deer smell my breath? What can I do about it?
Answer:
We believe that human breath is one of the strongest sources of human odor. Other strong sources include your hair and armpits. To best deal with mouth odor it pays to brush your teeth often with baking soda toothpaste. Also, Scent-Lok offers Breath Shields [...]

How long before sunset do you think I need to be in my tree stand?

Question:
Thank you for the great electronic magazine. I only wish I had found you sooner! I’m planning on doing a lot of late season hunting this year. I have two questions: In past seasons I have done some, but never very seriously because it is so very cold up here where I hunt in Wisconsin. [...]
