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:

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.
