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:

Blood Trailing a Deer Can Take a Dedicated Effort
Written By Chuck Smick
Ben called and said “Dad, I just stuck a six pointer; can you and Chuck come help me trail it?” I quickly told Carroll that I would gladly come help him and Ben trail the wounded buck. Three people trailing a deer can be more successful than one can, at times. Three people dragging a deer out is DEFINITELY a big plus. This is especially true, if you have to drag a deer very far.

Minnesota Archery Opener 2009

Having taken just enough college psychology to be dangerous and irritating, my favorite crash test dummy for armchair analysis is myself. Understanding people is a fascination of mine and trying to figure myself out is too.

Why You Should Consider Using Tapered Arrows This Season
Written By Chuck Smick
Tapered arrows, with the weight forward of center on the front end of a shaft offer bowhunters many advantages, which parallel shafts do not offer. Traditional bowhunters and archers should seriously consider always using tapered shafts, whether they shoot wooden arrows or carbon arrows. Tapered arrows offer the advantages of better arrow flight, improved consistency of shots, extreme forward of center shaft mid-point (when set up correctly) and better penetration capabilities on game, when the correct broadhead is used for hunting. Compound bow shooters should also give tapered arrows the same consideration of choice as traditional bowhunters, for the same reasons.

All the planets aligned I was thinking. The bruin we had on camera was on his way into the bait. I could see him walk with confidence and without hesitation. It was clear he was the big bear on the bait. He was a good bear, too much of a bear to pass on. He walked to the bait and threw the logs aside. His head disappeared into the hole where the bait was. I came to full draw only to have the bear quickly swing around and quarter away from me. The stand off was on.
