Loose an Arrow, Lose an Arrow

Steven Rinella’s new book – Meat Eater

Many of you may know Steven Rinella from his television shows Meat Eater and The Wild Within.  Some of you may also know that Steve is also a best-selling author.  In fact, I first discovered Rinella because of his books.  Steve’s shows are great; I thoroughly enjoy them.  However, as good as Steve’s shows are, his writing is that much better.  I am really looking forward to digging into his new book Meat Eater: A Natural History of an American Hunter.  The book is due out in September, but you can pre-order it now.

Hang and Hunt

Dave Hurteau, from the Whitetail 365 blog at Field & Stream, is doing a series of posts on “Hang and Hunt” – the strategy of packing in a hang-on stand, hunting it that day, and then packing everything out. There are several advantages of this type of hunting, and it is my main strategy for this fall, so I will be sure to cover this more in the next few months.  Setting up a hang-on for each and every hunt sounds like a massive undertaking, but it can be surprisingly efficient.  See for yourself.  Be sure to catch the second video as well.
