Hunting History

Hunting game for food, clothing and shelter is a big part of the story of the human race. It predates the human civilization we know today in many ways. There is evidence that we used larger animals for food almost two million years ago.

Hunting Safety

Every year, hundreds of hunting accidents occur across America. Many of these accidents could have been avoided by practicing gun safety techniques. If your weapon came with an ownerís manual, read it from cover to cover.

Bow Hunting

With bow hunting, people are getting in touch with the control of the hunt and are learning all sorts of new things about getting in tune with themselves and using their own bodily power to get in touch with the zen of hunting.

What is Hunting?

Posted by: Hunting Expert | Comments (1)

The BoysA lot has been written about hunting. The history of hunting, the psychological underpinnings, the practical need for hunting to feed families and eventually the reduction of the need for hunting with modern agriculture and food distribution. Because we now grow our own food and keep animals, hunting has become a specialized task and recreational sport.

Hunting to this writer was a right of passage and an activity that forever bonded me to my Grandfather who taught me to be a good hunter. It didn’t matter if we came home empty handed. The success of the hunt was not measured by the game bagged, but instead by the time we spent quietly walking through the woods or hours spent in one position waiting for game to pass by.  It was the conversations about the care of weapons, the actual time spent cleaning and oiling guns and the enjoyment of spending time in the outdoors together.  This is what makes hunting important for son’s and daughters, and their parents and grandparents.

This stand will spoil ya
 
Review Date: January 11, 2007
Reviewer: W. Boyer, Knoxville, TN
This is THE stand if your looking for comfort and room. Not only is the seat larger than a typical tree stand, the platform is also much larger making it easier to get in and out. The stand is also very stable for those who are pushing the weight limit.

Reviewer: Lanny D. Thornton, Marietta, GA USA
This is the best ladder stand I've ever used. For the gun hunter, it has plenty of room and is extremely comfortable for an all day hunt. The padded seat and backrest are plenty large for larger guys, like me. The platform is very large, leaving plenty of room to place your day pack under your seat, out of the way. There is also a fold out step allowing you to change your leg and feet position for more comfort, so you can sit still longer. For the bow hunter, the seat will fold up, out of the way, allowing you to stand. The shooting rail also folds back out of the way of bow hunters, leaving plenty of room to maneuver to take that critical shot in any direction. The only negative, it takes at least 2 to 4 adults to haul it into the woods and install it. It's heavy! But, then again, it's very stable!
Hunting is a pleasure

Review Date: May 3, 2009
Reviewer: Jonah D. Barta,
Although the dimensions for this bag say 42" L, The padded inserts inside the bag actually only fit 39" bows.
Other than the misrepresentation of the dimensions, this bag seemed cool.

complicated but worth it
 
Review Date: December 15, 2009
Reviewer: George Kibby,
This comes with a DVD to help set it up. You can custom fit it to just about any weapon. I use a muzzle loader and it has given me perfect information. It's ability to look through bare branches and to pick a single target are great features because in a blind your movements are very limited. I was able to pre-screen my shooting area and pick out minor landmarks to have distances at the ready in case a fast moving deer moved through my area. It worked, as I was able to properly lead a fast moving buck and bring him right down. I also use it for golf. It is very powerful and very accurate.
