"The great primitive outer world is still unconquered, and there are impulses within the beast of man not yet measured, curbed and devitalized, which are the essential motives of life. Therefore without, without wantoness, and without cruelty, we shall hunt as long as the arm has strength, the eye glistens, and the heart thobs. Lead On!"

“Fit for a Queen”

Product review of Antler King Trophy Products Inc..
Back in 2003, I bought a product called “Honey Hole” by Antler King Trophy Products, Inc. I had no idea what it was at the time. I had educated myself by reading and research about developing and farming food plots, and I had hunted several seasons and knew where I needed help. The Honey Hole packaging promised results without a lot of hoopla, so I decided to try it. I was a fairly new landowner and had just had three food plots carved out of my new 80 acre parcel in just over two years. My property had previously been a transition area, that is, deer traveled through it but didn’t stop for long. I wanted it to be a serious stopover point and Honey Hole seemed to be the ticket. Their package promised results, and boy did that promise deliver. Since then I have harvested dozens of whitetails and they cannot seem to get enough of Honey Hole.

Just ask any rural gardener what not to plant when you have hungry deer in the neighborhood and the most likely response will be peas. That significance of that relationship between peas and deer is not lost on a growing number of savvy hunters who are now using the succulent annual as the primary buck attractant in their food plots. Mark Turner of Turner Seed Co, Winchester, Kentucky has watched the popularity of peas, as food plot fodder; grow, as the word on its effectiveness has spread across his state. “Even though we increase our orders every year we have trouble keeping everyone supplied,” he says. “We’ve got customers who put in food plots every year who are crazy about these peas.”

Last year I got an email from a customer in Japan, of all places, scolding me for alleged tree damage cause by all tack trail markers. He heard this “through the grapevine” but had no reference or scientific proof. At first I was defensive. But then, I always strive to consider the impassioned views of others, so I listened – seeking to understand, but ready to refute. He was doing nighttime treasure hunt with friends and wanted to use FireTacks trail markers to guide him and his friends through remote areas in the dark. However, he understood that FireTacks are just that… tiny tacks, with pins that affix to trees for forest navigation purposes.

Chasing Big Hogs in the Mountains with Stick and String
By Chuck Smick
Does a late season bowhunt for big stinky critters excite you? With deer season over; and turkey season a month or two away; do you still have a hankering to pursue big game still? If the answer is a resounding “YES!” then chasing wild hogs in the mountains of East Tennessee is what you may be searching for this winter, for some extra excitement and fun this year. Getting eyeball-to-eyeball with a big tusker will get your adrenalin going… and maybe have you looking for a tree too! Another great attribute to this late season hunt is if you are successful, you’ll have a cooler full of fresh fixings for barbeque and some great breakfast meals too.

It was November 5th 2009
and I was looking out the window at work. Sheets of rain were coming down almost horizontal with the strong wind. Trees
were bending to the breaking point. I wondered if my special 3 day local Metro hunt the next day would be postponed. I am a diehard bowhunter
some say but even I was hesitant to climb a tree in this down pour. I decided
to get a second opinion. I am just dumb enough to hunt regardless of the weather.
This time we had 15 hunters participating so we had more responsibility than
just us few running the special hunt. I got on the internet and navigated
to a local weather stations web site. I contacted the head meteorologist by
sending him a quick email hoping some how he would make the bad weather go
away. My email said:
