Some people think spending a day in the woods is relaxing and peaceful. I used to think that as well, until I went turkey hunting. Spending a day in the woods hunting with my brothers was frustrating, hard, and aggravating all at the same time because of the mistakes I made. It was a life changing experience. Hunting will get your blood pumping and your heart racing you’ll end up wanting to go turkey hunting more than you ever thought you would. You might think it’s a little insane to wake up at…

A large part of southern culture is hunting and I have been participating in that popular pastime since I was a little boy. Throughout history and in all different cultures around the globe one of the challenges that a boy must face in order to become a man is going on his first hunt, and making a kill. This shows that he is able to supply and support his family with food if need be. My dad began taking me…

The explosion down range from an explosive target, the loud sound and feel of recoil, this is shooting and I love it. Hitting a 150 yard target is like winning the lottery and it’s a great feeling. I would like to let people who have never fired a firearm to try it and it might change their opinion on weapons. Take target shooting as an example, I have hit the bullseye many times and it’s an adrenaline rush. Due to some bans, some fun parts of target shooting like explosive rounds with powerful…

The current process of preparing to hunt takes 190 minutes, which converts to 3 hours and ten minutes. The distance that is traveled is 457,308 feet, which converts to 86.61 miles. The majority of that distance traveled is in the 80.6-mile drive up north, but the 4 miles traveled walking in and out of the woods is wasted time setting my tree stand and bait pile. With only being able to carry so much into the woods at a time, I have to start by carrying my tree stand out to the tree. Once I…

Through my passion for archery and bowhunting, I would make a business where I could design and manufacture compound bows for both tournament use and hunting. I believe…

The dead tell better stories then the living. For instance, if anyone had survived from inside the WTC, perhaps everyone would know that it wasn’t a controlled demolition. Perhaps then, in september of every year, the victims families wouldn’t have to endure the constant disrespect of their loved ones deaths by tin foil wearing conspiracy theorists. The shooting of john Lennon and Ronald Regan were not part of any mass shootings. And yes, I’m sure Jodie Foster wished Hinkleys motives never came…

It was May 22, 1864. I crouched behind the large tree that overlooked the battlefield down the hill, and my mind raced in disbelief. Cool and soft breezes brushed over me. My eyes studied my surroundings, looking for men in blue. With each breeze, my mind heard musket fire and the marching of my enemies. Kneeling, I tore strips of cloth from my pants and wound them around my bare feet. I made each movement slowly and deliberately, trying to regain my composure. After a few moments, I stood and…
