·The Yukon’s Titans of October Most bowhunters have dreamed of facing one of North America’s most awesome animals—the moose. As tall as 6 feet at the shoulder and weighing up to 1,500 pounds, the Alaskan-Yukon moose is the largest species. These brutes call the remote reaches of Alaska and the Yukon Territory home.
·The Best Little Deer Camps in Texas When the average bowhunter thinks of whitetail hunting, he or she gets a mental picture of rolling hills blanketed with serene majestic hardwoods and towering, whispering pines. It’s difficult to imagine that the flat, desolate, mesquite-covered terrain of South Texas is home to some of the finest whitetail bowhunting in the country. However, this part of Texas produces some of the largest whitetails in the lower 48 states.
·Caribou in the Land of the Midnight Sun The distant hillside burst into life as hundreds of caribou poured over the horizon, trotting in our direction. Only a few minutes earlier, the same hillside was as lifeless as the distant lunar landscape. Leon, my Native American guide, quickly packed his gear and whispered, “We must move quickly now. Caribou will soon be within range.”
·Expandable broadheads: An Open and Cut Case Expandable broadheads are engineered to provide maximum velocity and accuracy without sacrificing cutting diameter. Early models were plagued with thin blades that didn’t cut well, poor penetration and frequent mechanical failures. Savvy broadhead designers such as New Archery Products and Rocket Aeroheads have cleverly solved these problems.
·The White Sheep of Nahanni If you have stamina and strength, scaling the mountain peaks after wild sheep can be an awesome adventure.
·African Odyssey For the adventure of a lifetime, stride into sub-Saharan lands with stick and string. Southern Africa is a region that many veteran bowhunters only know secondhand, their interest usually kindled by the famous literary works of Capestick or the great safaris of legendary bowhunters such as Fred Bear and Howard Hill. To know Africa is to love Africa, and there is no better time to romance her than now.
·Bear Necessities Springtime often finds the average bowhunter pacing restlessly while wringing nervous hands, waiting for the upcoming traditional fall hunting seasons. The post-season blues can be quickly remedied by the adventures of a spring or fall black bear hunt. Black bears are found in practically every Canadian province and in over half the continental United States, and a black bear can be strong medicine for an ailing bowhunter. A black bear hunt can restore all the excitement and adventure often missing during the normally dormant spring months.
·Deadly Medicine I have been fortunate enough to bowhunt practically every big game animal in North America, but for the ultimate springtime challenge nothing compares to bowhunting for wild turkeys. Taking a big Eastern tom with a bow is a feat to make any bowhunter proud.

·DANGER IN THE LONG GRASS Due to the excellent opportunities now available, there has been a resent resurgence in travel to southern Africa by the adventurous bowhunter seeking both bargain and adventure. Most bowhunters are aware of the potential danger when confronted by a Cape buffalo or the seriousness of a bite by the Black Mamba. But, most hunters significantly underestimate the danger of a smaller far more formidable foe often unseen and unheard until it has struck a potential crippling bite.
·BUDDYING-UP FOR BOWHUNTING SUCCESS Often referred to as a one man game, savvy bowhunters are recognizing more and more the advantages of team work to increase their bowhunting success. Team work has been a common tactic used by bowhunters for many years in an effort to increase their odds for success in the field. In fact, I will go as far to state, that your odds of harvesting an elk or turkey increases dramatically when employing the buddy system.
