"I went back to shooting traditional archery in 1995," says Ernie Chiappini of Butler, PA. "As a kid, when I first started bowhunting, I used a longbow, but then switched over to a compound. I decided to return to the longbow because I always found it intriguing. It's a whole different world than modern compound bows." . . .

Brian McGlone's first buck had only a single spike -- the other spike had been broken off. At the time, Brian was fifteen years old. Brian's second buck, taken a year later, was bigger. Much, much bigger. Not long ago I had a chance to sit down and talk to Brian about the giant buck he harvested in Jefferson County, OH. "This is my first bowkill," he said, grinning. . . .

I first met Harvey "Bumper" Bauer at a sports show, and it didn't take long to realize that he is a man of outdoor wisdom and tall tales -- but not necessarily in that order! A conversation with Bumper typically runs the gamut of topics: turkeys, fly fishing, natural history, anecdotes from growing up on a farm as well as hair-raising incidents from his career in law enforcement . . .

MISSOULA, Mont.-More and more prominent big game conservation groups are formally endorsing Boone and Crockett scoring as their standard system for measuring North American big game trophies. Boone and Crockett scoring originally was developed as a means of recording data on species thought to be going extinct from habitat loss and unregulated harvest. Today, Boone and Crockett Club records remain a classic gauge of successful conservation and management programs. In addition to its prestigious history and tradition, Boone and Crockett scoring is strongly associated with the highest tenets of fair chase and hunting ethics. . . .

Richard Blauser is no stranger to big bucks. In fact, he's killed eight bucks that score over 120 inches, including a massive Boone & Crockett buck taken in 2000, in Butler County. But let's start at the beginning. "My father and uncles taught me to hunt," Blauser said. "I went out with them when I was nine or ten. They carried rifles and I had my b.b. gun." And when turned twelve and his chance to hunt finally came, he harvested his first buck, a two point. "It was a unique deer," Blauser said. "The one side was broken off and the other grew down around its face, and on the end of the beam was a little Y." . . .

"The stock markets crashed in the fall of 2008," says Jim Gregory of Murrysville, PA. "I was aggravated by watching my savings evaporate." So instead of continuing to watch that money disappear, he put it to good use. "I grew up in Ohio," he says. "We had family farms, but not really good places to deer hunt, and all the places I had to deer hunt I lost. I decided to buy my own property." Jim spent six months looking at properties and researching them heavily. He looked at places in several counties, including Harrison, Licking, Coshocton, and everywhere in between . . .

Last spring I walked across a field in the early morning light with the intentions of setting up in the corner for turkeys. Unfortunately, another hunter beat me to the spot. I saw him from almost two hundred yards away. A big dark blob hunkered down in the tree line. From that distance, with the sun just beginning to peek over the horizon, his camouflage clothing looked as black as a bear's hide. And if I could see him so easily, then a sharp-eyed tom was sure to pick him out as well. . . .

The first deer I saw during the 2000 West Virginia hunting season was a nice spike. He came feeding through a low gap on the ridge at nine-thirty in the morning. The snow fell and my tree stand swayed in the wind as I shouldered the rifle and centered the cross-hairs on the deer's chest. My finger touched the trigger, but I didn't shoot. . . .
