Twists of Fate
Ralph Scherder
I hunted the first two days of the 2009 archery season and then hung up my bow until the weather cooled down. It was hot. Deer weren't moving well in my area. As I climbed into my stand those first couple of days, I felt like I was just biding my time until the action picked up. . . .

Product Review: Horton Legend HD 175
Ralph Scherder
The past three years I've been in the market for a crossbow, but it seemed I just couldn't find one that fit right. Either the trigger pulls were too creaky or the crossbow itself too light for my liking. Nothing felt comfortable. And then at a sports show last spring, I visited the Horton booth and handled their latest products. As soon as I shouldered the Legend HD 175, I knew I had finally found a crossbow I liked. . . .

For the Record: Tim Cherok and Jason Kindzia
Ralph Scherder
Tim Cherok and Jason Kindzia, both of southwestern PA, have been friends and hunting partners since childhood. "My dad introduced me to hunting," Tim says. "When I was five or six, I picked up his recurve bow and couldn't stop shooting it. My dad bought me my first compound bow when I was twelve. He has since gotten out of the sport, but my desire to hunt has never died." . . .

Review: Bushnell BackTrack
H. “Bumper” Bauer
The folks at Bushnell said it's easy as 1-2-3 to "Mark it, leave it, and get back." Hmmm…! Nothing can be this easy, or can it? Being able to easily find my way to my deer stand at pre-dawn or back to a honey hole full of hungry fish discovered on a river or stream instantly jumped to my mind. Or better yet… never again having to search for hours to find a downed deer in an unfamiliar area if I had to leave it to get help. . . .

For the Record: Tom Fitz
Ralph Scherder
Early into archery season, Tom Fitz had a chance at a record book buck. Only a small sapling in front of the deer prevented Tom from taking the shot. That deer scored in the low 140s. Tom would know this because his buddy Phil harvested the buck later that season. . . .

Where Am I? An Introduction to GPS
Stacey Kuttler
Global Positioning Systems (GPS) have fast become a technological advancement that users say they couldn't live without. The advent of GPS eliminates the need for carting around paper maps in the glove box. With it, never again will there be a need to hurriedly jot down sketchy directions from someone that may, or may not, know where they are going. And although Google Maps is a pretty convenient way to get step-by-step directions, the printed directions do not have the capacity to update when you decide take a side road or want to find the nearest steak joint. . . .

Preparing and Cooking Venison
Ralph Scherder
Hopefully you were successful last season and have a freezer-full of venison. Here at Trophy Buck Secrets, we enjoy feasting on venison that we have harvested. It's the circle of life -- from the field to our dinner tables. The ancient Romans lauded the pleasures of hunting for and consuming wild game and so should we. Historians suggest that venison has been consumed longer as a food than other meats, including beef, chicken, and pork. . . .

Alpen Optics: Products Worth Looking Into
Review and Photos By H. Bumper Bauer
A few years ago my wife JC developed a great interest in bird watching and asked me to find her a good pair of binoculars which she could use to get closer to the birds she wanted to study. Her request could have not have been more timely because I was about to attend a Pennsylvania Outdoor Writers Conference where I knew several outdoor product companies would have items on display for our inspection. As I walked through the rows of items on display at the conference, I spotted a small pair of green, rubber coated binoculars sitting on the table at the Alpen Outdoor Corporation display. . . .
