Sitting Bull is famously quoted as saying "I will remain what I am until I die, a hunter, and when there are no buffalo or other game I will send my children to hunt and live on prairie mice.”
If you are a hunter, you know exactly what he meant. Peter Hathaway Capstick reasoned that there is biological proof that humans evolved as hunters. He explained herbivores (prey animals) have eyes on opposite sides of their head to better watch against danger. But all hunting mammals have forward facing eyes with which we focus on the prey ahead while stalking and pursuing them when they flee.
Our lives would be incomplete without the hunt. Yet there are times when the hunt must pause. Game laws and closed seasons protect against over hunting. New York’s spring turkey season ended yesterday. It is a long wait until the September goose season and even longer until we can pursue cotton tails and white tails in the fall. I used to find this wait almost unbearable. I would feel frustration seeing deer casually browsing in the summer fields. I filled my evenings with reading about other’s hunts and longing for a chance to get back in the field.

Recently, youth season opened up for deer. Even though my own son isn't old enough to take hunting, I still managed to get some time out and glass the bean fields for some whitetail. I found LOTS of bucks ranging from small to giant. So, there was a lot left to 
After having to wait through nearly the entire summer just to be able to use a fire arm out of doors, Kansas was hit with a cold front, and although I nearly had to put on a parka to hold up to the frigid 88 degrees it was outside (as opposed to the 110 degrees we’ve had), I used this opportunity to my advantage and spent some range-time with so
Where is the best place to take a trophy bull elk? It’s the same question that is on the minds of every hunter hitting the elk country this year. Everyone has their honey hole, and their opinion of what state or location has the best and the biggest elk. If you check the record books, there are a few places that stand out time after time for producing some giant bulls.
