How bowhunting revolutionized human evolutionary advantage |
| 1/3/2010 5:21:11 PM |
In nature all of combat or violent interaction between species is done in close ranges. Most species are melee based and, even though some have range attacks or can sprint quickly for a short distance - these are still ultimately based on approaching your target physically.
This, of course, evolutionarily has many disadvantages. You have to have some kind of deceptive or... Read More |

How cool would it be to go bowhunting |
| 1/1/2010 4:46:54 PM |
Ok, I'm a nerd. I was playing Diablo 2 and just started an Amazon character with specialization in bows. Of course this was way fun because of the attack speed and the fact you pick things off from a far off position. What does all of this have to do with bowhunting? After doing it digitally in a game, I want to try it in real life!
I think bowhunting would be awesome. It... Read More |

As you might imagine our garage has an incredible array of hunting gear all carefully organized awaiting the next ultimate hunting trip.

Agriculture farming and the rise of surplus (in short) |
| 11/28/2009 11:28:00 PM |
This is one of those things I've written essay papers on but it's quite fascinating. If you look at our species as a whole the one thing we've been able to create that never existed in nature is surplus. Scarcity was the driving force behind evolution and what brought about our surplus of food was the practice of agriculture farming.
Humorously enough the practice of... Read More |

Deer Hunting In Southern Oregon |
| 11/14/2009 9:55:23 AM |

The lush open fields offer a great place for deer to feed and relax; and also a perfect spot for bowhunting. It is the ultimate hunting spot. Growing up in this area of Oregon has enabled me to see and do things that hunters around... Read More |

Organization is Key for Camping and Hunting Gear |
| 10/20/2009 11:44:38 AM |
 Today when I was shopping for some camping gear, I ran across this incredibly handy kitchen utensil set for my brother's hunting gear. It comes with a grater, whisk, spatula, four forks, knives and spoons, salt and pepper shaker, cutting board, can opener, scrubby sponge, a camp towel, small bottles for liquids, and a nylon zip pouch. I thought it would be so handy for him... Read More |

Ode to Agriculture Farming and Pumpkin Patches |
| 10/20/2009 11:42:23 AM |
 Growing up in a rural suburban area there were farms in all of the surrounding cities. I never had family who were part of agriculture farming but I did grow up near it. One of my favorite childhood memories was going to something called Remlinger Farm and taking a bumpy adventure on a hay ride, maneuvering through a corn maze and picking out the perfect pumpkin for...

Learning About Ultimate Hunting with Video Games |

 I will probably never know what it feels like to track a wild lion or sight in a 12 foot tall Grizzly bear in real life but with video games it is another story. We have all seen those deer hunting games in local sport bars. I have spent countless quarters pumping the plastic orange arcade game shotgun during nights at the bar. Bringing that ultimate hunting action home is... Read More |

 I have never been deer hunting or on any kind of ultimate hunting adventure before. I would really love to go out and try it sometime but before embarrassing myself with a cock eyed shot I need some target practice. That being said I talked to some friends who are big into deer hunting on advice on what to learn with. The key to practice is finding an accurate reliable... Read More with Video |

Electronics Pouch Nice for Hunting Gear Gadgets |
| 9/15/2009 8:23:01 AM |
 Hunting season is around the corner and each year, I like to give my husband something new to take along. I don't buy guns for him, leaving that to his expertise, but instead, I like to give him hunting gear that will make his stay in the woods more comfortable. Since we are a family of dedicated campers, he's used to tents and some of the challenges that go along with... Read More |

Two weeks until deer hunting season! |

Hunting Gear Should Include a First Aid Kit |
| 8/11/2009 8:56:34 AM |
 Since it's August, and hunters are getting their hunting gear all sorted out and in order. I ordered this first aid kit for my husband's hunting gear. None of his hiking buddies had one in their hunting near, nor did my husband, so it seemed like a no brainer. Anyone who spends any time out in the great outdoors should have a first aid kit, either on their person or... Read More |

QDM provides better deer hunting. |

| QDM, or Quality Deer Management, has become all the rage among serious deer hunting sportsmen. I will cover more in-depth aspects of QDM in future posts but for a quick run down QDM started out in the mid 1980's by a few biologists and scientists working in conjunction with a couple seed companies. They started out with the idea that if they could improve the nutritional... Read More |

Deer Hunting Was One of My Dad's Favorite Sports! |
| 7/27/2009 2:56:27 PM |
While growing up, my Dad would take me fishing. He loved to fish; but, I know he equally loved to hunt for deer. We had wonderful deer meat every winter, and although he did not take me on those ultimate hunting excursions, I could not wait for him to get home and tell his tales of the great buck that he "almost" had. Dad grew up on a farm with ten brothers... Read More |
